Mounting the device in a rack
If you plan to set the Autoloader on a table or rack shelf, skip this step and continue with Installing
the Tabletop Conversion Kit (page 25) .
WARNING! The HP StorageWorks 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader weighs 11.5 kg (25.4 lb) without
media and 13.1 kg (28.9 lb) with media (8 cartridges). When moving the Autoloader, to reduce
the risk of personal injury or damage to the Autoloader: 1) observe local health and safety
requirements and guidelines for manual material handing, 2) always remove all tapes to reduce
the overall weight of the Autoloader, and 3) obtain adequate assistance to lift and stabilize the
Autoloader during installation or removal.
The device easily installs into the HP Rack System/E, or the HP Rack 5000 or HP Rack 10000
series. You need a #2 and a #3 Phillips screwdriver for this procedure.
Unpack the rack kit and verify that it includes the following:
