Install the Orientation Pads
The tabletop model includes adhesive pads that you must apply to either the
base or the right side, depending on how you plan to position the tape drive.
These pads protect the tape drive’s surface and allow air to flow through the
vents when the tape drive is positioned on its side.
To install the pads:
1. Remove the backing from four pads. (Five pads are shipped with the tape
drive.)
2. Affix the pads to each corner, approximately -inch (1.3 cm) from the sides.
For a horizontal orientation, place the pads on the bottom. For a vertical
orientation, place the pads on the right side (the side with the external vents).
Figure 11. Installing the orientation pads
>>> If you want to position the tape drive on its side, you must place the pads on
the right side. Otherwise, the air flow vents will be blocked and the enclosed
tape drive will overheat.
