As usual you can find pretty good answers in list's archives.
You can look at the thread "IBM 3494" from September 2001 and find some
good ideas there. It is funny (at least to me) that Dwight contributed to
that thread (and being not an IBMer :-).

        Subject:        3494 library on earthquake pads?


I realize that this isn't *strictly* TSM-related, but I know that
there are many 3494 library users and some of you may have
investigated this before me.

We are about to move our 3494 library within our data center and
are considering moving it onto seismic earthquake pads (see
<URL:http://www.worksafetech.com/pages/isobase.html>, for an
illustration of what I'm describing). I would like to know if
anybody on the list has done this before or has investigated
doing anything similar.

We have been moving all of our data center equipment onto
ISO-Base platforms, but the 3494 library seems as though it might
have different requirements, what with it's need to stay aligned,
etc.

Feel free to contact me directly or respond to the list if you
have had any experience in this area.
