Optional rack kit
If you want to mount the autoloader in a rack, you will
need the optional rack kit.
Verify that the rack kit contains:
• 2 rack rails
• 2 packets with 8 M6 screws each
Optional Tabletop conversion kit
With the tabletop conversion kit you can place items
that weigh up to 15 kg (33 lb) on top of the
autoloader. Without the protective cover you cannot
place any weight on the autoloader.
1 Choosing a location
To mount the autoloader in a rack, select an open rack
location with access to the host server and a power
outlet. If possible, install the autoloader in the middle
or higher part of the rack to avoid dust from the floor
and to allow easy access to the mailslot and
magazines.
To set the autoloader on a table, select a level area
large enough to support both side edges of the
autoloader with access to the host computer and a
power outlet.
Place the autoloader in an area with few sources of
particulate contamination. Avoid areas near frequently
used doors and walkways, stacks of supplies that
collect dust, printers, and smoke-filled rooms.
Do not place the autoloader on the floor or other
carpeted surface.
Do not place the autoloader on its side or upside
down.
Do not stack items on top of the autoloader unless it
is installed in the tabletop conversion cover.
2 Unpacking the autoloader
Remove the packaging, accessories, and autoloader
from the box one layer at a time. Place the autoloader
on a level work surface. Carefully remove the foam
padding and then the bag from the autoloader. Save
the packaging materials to move or ship the autoloader
in the future.
