SuperLoader™
(SuperLoader DLT and SuperLoader LTO)
Quick Start Guide
This Quick Start Guide explains
how to unpack, install, and set up
your SuperLoader, including how to
correctly handle magazines and tape
cartridges.
These instructions are for both the
SuperLoader DLT and SuperLoader LTO
due to the nature of their similarities.
In general, the SuperLoader DLT is
used in the illustrations. Though the
components are similar in appearance,
many component parts are not
interchangeable. These include the
magazines, cartridges, drive carrier
assembly, magazine blank, magazine
handle, and the barcode scanner.
Please order the appropriate part
numbers when replacing these items.

Step 1: Unpack the SuperLoader
Warning: At least two people are required to unpack the SuperLoader to
reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage.
a. Look for markings on the shipping carton that indicate the top. If necessary,
position the carton so that it is top-side up.
b. Using scissors, a utility knife, or other appropriate tool, carefully cut the packing
tape along the length and ends of the carton.
c. Remove the accessories box from the shipping carton. The accessories box contains
the following items:
• SCSI cable and terminator
•
Documentation CD
• Mounting hardware (brackets and screws)
• Power cord
d.
To remove the SuperLoader from the shipping carton:
(1) Position yourself along the long side of the carton. Instruct the other unpacker
to position himself/herself so that he/she is facing you along the other long side
of the carton.
(2) Together with the other unpacker, reach in through the openings in the foam
packaging and grip the SuperLoader securely.
(3) In a coordinated motion with the other unpacker, lift the SuperLoader out of
the shipping carton and onto a stable, flat surface.
e. Remove the foam packaging from the SuperLoader as follows:
(1) While the other unpacker steadies one side of the SuperLoader, grip the front
end of the SuperLoader with one hand and remove the foam packaging from
the other side of the SuperLoader.
Caution: Do not rest the SuperLoader on the unpacked side. The weight of
the unit may bend the metal flange on the front end.
(2) While you steady the unpacked side of the SuperLoader, have the other
unpacker remove the foam packaging from the other side. Set the unit down.
(3) Remove the foam inserts from the front of the SuperLoader.
