Installation Preparation 0

Before you install your new Quantum SuperLoader 3 autoloader, unpack it

carefully and inspect it for any damage that might have occurred during shipping.

The

Quantum SuperLoader 3 Quick Start Guide

describes all the necessary

information to unpack and inspect your autoloader correctly.

Ensure that the work area is free from conditions that could cause electrostatic

discharge (ESD). Discharge static electricity from your body by touching a known

grounded surface, such as your computer's metal chassis.

WARNING: Whenever you power cycle the autoloader, allow 10 seconds before

turning the power back on. The power supply requires at least two to three

seconds for the capacitors to discharge. This ensures a complete system

reset on power down and may avoid system errors.
