Bus Length Limitations
If all devices and host adapter are LVD, length is 12 meters (1.5 meters in SE mode).
For customers using HVD, the high voltage differential Fast/Wide SCSI bus may be up
to 25 meters in length, including cabling within the modules.
Physical Configuration
PowerLoader™ comes configured as a tabletop or rack-mount model. The tabletop model can be
later converted for rack-mount usage. To convert a tabletop PowerLoader™ to a rack-mount
model, order the Overland Tabletop to Rackmount Conversion Kit (Part Number 106070-001).
Shuttle Lockdown Mechanism
Overland Data has installed a shuttle lockdown mechanism as a precautionary safety
mechanism to prevent damage to the PowerLoader™ during shipment from the factory. The
mechanism is a spring-loaded screw in the back of the PowerLoader™ that secures the shuttle
to a bracket.
You must release the shuttle lockdown mechanism before powering up the unit or it will
not operate. See the procedure in
Chapter 2 .
