Overland Storage ARCvault 12 Quick Start Manual

This document describes how to unpack and install either
an ARCvault 12 autoloader or ARCvault 24 library into a
standard RETMA 19" rack. Both units have a 2U form
factor.
Before unpacking the unit, ensure that the area is free
from conditions that cause electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Discharge static electricity from your body by touching a
known grounded surface. Also, avoid touching pins, leads,
or circuitry.
First Things First—Activate Your Warranty!
Before installing your new unit, it is essential that you
activate your ARCvault warranty. Technical and warranty
support are not available until this is done.
All that is required is for you to register your unit at the
Overland Technical Support website.
1. Go to the Overland Technical Support website at:
http://support.overlandstorage.com/
2. Using the MEMBER LOGIN E-mail and Password
fields, log in to the site.
Unpacking the ARCvault Unit
Both the ARCvault 12 and ARCvault 24 come packaged in
the same type of container
WARNING: Due to the weight of the unit, it is
recommended that at least two people be used to
lift the unit out of the box to prevent injury.
1. Open the top of the box and remove the rail kit and
accessory kit.
2. Remove the top packaging piece.
3. Lift the ARCvault out and set it on a secure surface.
4. Remove the end packaging pieces from the library.
5. Carefully turn the unit on its side and remove the
tie-down underneath.
CAUTION: The tie-down holds the shuttle and robotics in place
for shipment and MUST be removed before operating the unit.
