Optional rack kit
If you want to mount the Autoloader in a rack, you will need the
optional rack kit.
Verify that the rack kit contains:
• 2 rack rails
• 2 packets with 8 M6 screws each
Optional Tabletop conversion kit
With the tabletop conversion kit you can place items that weigh up to
15 kg (33 lb) on top of the Autoloader. Without the protective cover
you cannot place any weight on the Autoloader.

1 Choosing a location

To mount the Autoloader in a rack, select an open rack location with
access to the host server and a power outlet. If possible, install the
Autoloader in the middle or higher part of the rack to avoid dust from
the floor.
To set the Autoloader on a table, select a level area large enough to
support both side edges of the Autoloader with access to the host
computer and a power outlet.
Place the Autoloader in an area with few sources of particulate

contamination. Avoid areas near frequently used doors and walkways,
stacks of supplies that collect dust, printers, and smoke-filled rooms.
Do not place the Autoloader on the floor or other carpeted surface.
Do not place the Autoloader on its side or upside down.
Do not stack items on top of the Autoloader unless it is installed in the
tabletop conversion cover.

2 Unpacking the Autoloader

Remove the packaging, accessories, and Autoloader from the box one
layer at a time. Place the Autoloader on a level work surface. Carefully
remove the foam padding and then the bag from the Autoloader. Save
the packaging materials to move or ship the Autoloader in the future.
