6 Upgrading and servicing the tape autoloader
WARNING! The autoloader weighs 11.5 kg (25.4 lb) without media and 13.1 kg (28.9 lb) with
media (8 cartridges). When moving the autoloader, to reduce the risk of personal injury or damage
to the autoloader: 1) observe local health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual
material handing, 2) always remove all tapes to reduce the overall weight of the autoloader, and
3) obtain adequate assistance to lift and stabilize the autoloader during installation or removal.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment:
• Extend leveling jacks to the floor.
• Ensure that the full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
• Install stabilizing feet on the rack.
• Extend only one rack component at a time. Racks may become unstable if more than one
component is extended.
CAUTION: A discharge of static electricity can damage static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry.
Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
• Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.
• Cover the device with approved static-dissipating material. Provide a wrist strap connected
to the work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.
• Keep the work area free of nonconducting materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids
and foam packing.
• Make sure you are always properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or
assembly.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Use conductive field service tools.
CAUTION: Before moving the autoloader, remove all media. During a move, the cartridges could
come out of the storage slots and damage the autoloader.
