After choosing a location for the autoloader, consider the following:
• The maximum recommended ambient temperature for the
autoloader is
+50°F to +104 °F (+10 °C to +40 °C). Install the autoloader
in an environment compatible with this temperature.
• The fan opening at the rear of the autoloader and the vent openings
in the front should be free of cables and other obstructions.
• Make sure the supply circuit is suitable for all equipment loads in the
rack.
• Make sure the outlet or power strip that you intend to use is reliably
grounded.
• Make sure that the installation environment is free of conditions that
could cause electrostatic discharge (ESD). If possible, use an antistatic
mat and grounded static protection wristband during installation. If a
mat and wristband are not available, touch a known grounded
surface, such as a computer’s metal chassis.
Unpacking the Autoloader 3
No special tools are required for unpacking the autoloader. Save all the
original packing materials, including the accessory box, in case you need
to ship or move the autoloader at a later time.
Installation Options 3
You have the option of installing the autoloader into a rack, or using it as
a standalone unit.
• If you are installing the autoloader into a rack, go to Installing the
Autoloader into a Rack.
• If you are using the autoloader as a standalone unit, go to Connecting
the Cables on page 21.
