Optional rack kit

11158

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

11803

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

fl

oor.

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-

fi

lled rooms.

Do not place the Autoloader on the

fl

oor 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.
