1. Cut open the top of the Streaming Tape Unit's shipping carton with a short-bladed knife
(so as not to damage the finish on the unit).
2. Fold back the flaps of the shipping carton to expose the inner tray, with manual and instal-
lation kit'taped on top. Remove these items.
3. Remove the tray, and you will see the top of the unit with attached shipping frame.
4.
Have a cohort grasp one side of the frame while you grasp the other; remove the unit from
the carton and bottom inner tray, and place it on a table top.
We recommend that you save the salvageable shipping carton and all packing material for
future use in case the product must be reshipped.
5. Carefully cut and remove the non-metallic band securing the Streaming Tape Unit's door.
6. Remove the fillei:' blocks w.hich' are between the upper and lower PC board rear-mounted
hinges.
7. Remove the door support blocks from under the door assembly. Leave the one-inch frame
support block in place until the unit is ready for rack mounting. If you're not mounting
the unit, simply leave the shipping frame on.
8. Remove the filler block which is between the shipping frame and underside of the PC
boards by carefully pressing downward on the block, and sliding it backward and out from
under the PC boards.

Remove the door stud from the installation kit. Screw the threaded end into the receptacle
block inside the dust cover door. The tape unit will not run if the stud is not in place to
engage the interlock switch.
10. To mount the unit in a 19-inch rack, first bolt the two hinge assemblies and stiftener bar to
the rack. If you're not mounting the unit, skip to step
18
for cabling instructions.
11. Support the Streaming Tape Unit in a vertical position on the shipping frame, so that you
can remove the four screws and detach the unit from the frame. After unmounting the
unit, make sure your cohort is around to help you lift and maneuver it - definitely a two-
person operation.

removeu~
w.;tall the two hinges on the top of the unit with the provided
screws and lockwashers.
13. Position the Streaming Tape Unit onto the mounting hinges. The unit must be perpendic-
