HP StorageWorks 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader getting started guide (AH163-96009, March 2007)

To mount the Autoloader in a rack, select an open rack
location with access to the host server and a power
outlet. If possible, install the Autoloader in the middle or
higher part of the rack to avoid dust from the floor.
To set the Autoloader on a table, select a level area
large enough to support both side edges of the
Autoloader, with access to the host computer and a
power outlet.
Place the Autoloader in an area with few sources of
particulate contamination. Avoid areas near frequently
used doors and walkways, stacks of supplies that collect
dust, printers, and smoke-filled rooms.
Do not place the Autoloader on the floor or other
carpeted surface.
Do not place the Autoloader on its sides or upside
down, or stack items on top of it.
