Installation
Overview
2
Installing the autoloader consists of the following steps, which are
explained in more detail later in this section:
1 Prepare to install your new Quantum SuperLoader 3 autoloader (see
Installation Preparation ).
2
Identifying the proper SCSI bus types (see SCSI Bus Requirements ).
3 Identify the accessories that come with the autoloader (see
Accessories on page 15).
4 Install the autoloader in a computer rack or select a table or desktop
near the host server. If installing a rack mount unit, refer to your rack
Installation Guide
.
5 Shut down or turn off the server and all devices attached to the server
(see Connecting the SCSI and Power Cables on page 16).
6 Attach the SCSI cable to the autoloader and server's SCSI host
adapter (see Connecting the SCSI and Power Cables on page 16).
7 Attach the power cable to the autoloader and plug in the power cable
to the nearest power outlet (see Connecting the SCSI and Power
Cables on page 16). Power the autoloader on to ensure it passes the
Power-on Self Test (POST).
8
Set the SCSI ID for the autoloader (see Setting the SCSI ID on
page 62).
9 Set up the host and verify the connection (see Preparing the Host and
Verifying the Connection on page 18).
Warning: Whenever you power cycle the autoloader, allow 10
seconds before turning the power back on. The power
supply requires at least two to three seconds for the
capacitors to discharge. This ensures a complete system
reset on power down and may avoid system errors.
