When selecting a location for the SuperLoader, keep in mind the
following guidelines:
•
Minimum clearances of 27 inches (686 mm) in front of
the unit and 17 inches (432 mm) in back are required to
facilitate component removal and installation.
•
The SuperLoader should be positioned away from cooling
vents or exhaust from other devices to help minimize the
amount of debris entering the tape path.
Caution:
Excessive dust or other debris in the tape
path can damage tapes and tape drives.

Step 4:
Install the SuperLoader in the
Rack
a.
Take the following safety precautions for a rackmount
installation:
(1)
Lower the rack’s feet.
(2)
Extend the rack’s anti-tip device (if available).
(3)
Ensure that the rack and all equipment mounted in the
rack have a reliable ground connection.
(4)
Verify that the total current of the rack components
(including SuperLoader) will not exceed the current rating
of the power distribution unit or outlet receptacles. For
SuperLoader specifications, refer to the User’s Guide.
(5)
Have the help of at least one other person. At least two
people are required to safely install the SuperLoader into
a rack.
Caution:
Failure to take these safety precautions may
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
b.
Install two clip nuts onto each of the four rails of the rack,
spacing the nuts 1.75 inches (44.45 mm) apart at exactly the
same level.
