Rackmounting

WARNING:

It takes two people to safely rackmount your autoloader.

WARNING:

Before you begin, make sure that the rack is sufficiently stable. If

provided, lower the rack leveler feet and make sure any required stabilizers are

installed. If provided, extend the rack anti-tip device. Failure to extend the

anti-tip device could result in personal injury or damage to the tape

autoloader if the rack tips over.

Caution:

Do not remove the top cover of the autoloader during the installation

process. Removing the top cover could result in damage to the autoloader. It

also causes the autoloader chassis to bow and prevents correct installation.

Caution:

Make sure that the rack and all equipment mounted in the rack have

a reliable ground connection. Verify that the total current of the rack

components does not exceed the current rating of the power distribution unit or

outlet receptacles.
