Positioning the tape drive
Position the unit so it is convenient to the server.
The only restrictions are the length of the power cord and the length of the cable to the server.
Recommended locations are:
- Away from high-traffic areas, especially if the floor is carpeted
- Out of printer or copy rooms to avoid toner and paper dust. Do not store paper supplies next to any unit.
- Away from moving air, such as doorways, open windows, fans, and air conditioners
- Off the floor
- In a horizontal position
- Where the tape cartridge can be easily inserted
The unit should not be stacked. Do not place anything on top of the unit.
