Warnings and Cautions
!
WARNING: Before you begin, make sure that the rack is sufficiently
stable. Lower the rack leveler feet (if provided) and make sure any
required stabilizers are installed. Extend the rack anti-tip device (if
provided). Failure to extend the anti-tip device could result in personal
injurty 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 reliable ground connections. Verify that the total current of
the rack components does not exceed the current rating of the power
distribution unit or outlet receptacles.
CAUTION: The AutoLoader is shipped with a transport screw in the
Shipping position (top hole). Do not operate the AutoLoader with the
transport screw in the top hole. Use a flat blade screwdriver to relocate
the trasport screw to the Operation position (bottom hole) before
operation.
