installation

instructions

WARNING: Before you begin, make sure that the rack

is sufficiently stable. If provided, lower the rack leveler

feet and make sure any required stabilizers are installed.

If provided, extend the rack anti-tip device. Failure to

extend the anti-tip device could result in personal injury or

damage to the tape autoloader if the rack tips over.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the the tapes and the

tape drives, position the autoloader so that no cooling

vents are located directly in front of the unit; this helps

minimize the amount of foreign debris entering the tape

path.

CAUTION: Do not remove the top cover of the

autoloader during the installation process. Removing the

top cover could result in damage to the autoloader. It

also causes the autoloader chassis to bow and prevents

correct installation.

CAUTION: Make sure that the rack and all equipment

mounted in the rack have a reliable ground connection.

Verify that the total current of the rack components does

not exceed the current rating of the power distribution unit

or outlet receptacles.

If there are no devices installed below the autoloader, use the optional

installation rails to help support the autoloader during installation. Otherwise,

proceed to step 3.

1. Install four clip nuts at the front of the rack, two on each rail. Install the first

clip nuts two holes below the bottom autoloader clip nut. Install the second

clip nuts two holes below the first clip nuts.

2. Insert one optional mounting rail into the rack with the support ledge facing in.

3. Hook the curved tabs around the rear rail of the rack 1.

4. Align the rail so that the holes are over the previously installed clip nuts 2.

5. Secure with two screws 3.

6. Attach the other optional mounting rail using steps 2 through 5.

3 Attaching the Support Brackets

Attach the two support brackets to the rear of the autoloader, tightening the

screws until snug.

CAUTION: Be sure the support brackets are aligned

straight with the sides of the autoloader for proper

installation into the U-channel brackets.
