Choosing a location
Choose a location that meets the following criteria. The autoloader uses
standard rack mounting hardware and must be flat and level.
UL requirements
Elevated operating ambient temperature
When installed in a closed multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient
temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum
recommended ambient temperature.
Reduced air flow
When you install the autoloader in a rack, make sure that there is adequate air
flow for safe operation.
Mechanical loading
When you install the autoloader in a rack, make sure that you do not load the
rack unevenly (for example, all of the equipment in the top section of the rack).
