UL Requirements
Elevated Operating
Ambient
Temperature
When installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the
room ambient. You must install the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's maximum recommended ambient
temperature.
Reduced Air Flow Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
Mechanical Loading Mounting of the equipment in a rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Overloading the
Circuit
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on
overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing the
concern.
Reliable Grounding Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit, such as use of power strips.
Bar Code Reader
Your autoloader is equipped with a bar code reader. Although the autoloader does not require tape cartridges to have bar code labels, properly labeled tape cartridges and
full storage slots speed up the inventory process and allow for faster media access.
The bar code reader is enclosed within the body of the autoloader and automatically scans each cartridge in the magazine upon power up, after a reset, after an import or
export, or when a re-inventory command is issued (see " Running an Inventory "). The information from each label is stored in memory and available through the Remote
Management Unit to the computer's operating system or backup application upon request. The bar code reader can be disabled through the operator control panel or the
web user interface.
If utilizing the bar code reader, you must apply the bar code labels into the slot on the front of each cartridge. The labels must conform to ANSI/AIM BC1 -1995 Uniform
Symbology Specification Code 39. A set of bar code labels is initially included with the autoloader. Refer to www.dell.com for information on obtaining additional bar code
labels.
