Selecting a Location for your Autoloader
Select a location for your DLT7 Autoloader that is flat, sturdy, level, and close to the host
server or workstation. A desk or table top is most suitable. Regardless of the location you
choose for your DLT7 Autoloader, make sure the environment is free from dust and
excessive humidity. See the
DLT1 Product Specifications
manual for acceptable operating
humidity limits.
Be sure to follow these additional guidelines when selecting a location for your DLT7
Autoloader:
•
Allow at least 6 inches (15.2 cm) behind the autoloader for proper cooling.
•
Avoid locations near printers or photo copy machines, both of which produce paper fiber
and other types of dust and airborne contaminants.
•
Do not place your autoloader on the floor.
•
Place your autoloader on a hard, level surface. Do not place your autoloader on a
carpeted surface.
•
Avoid locations near generators, electric motors, audio speakers, or other sources of
magnetic fields. Magnetic fields can adversely affect your autoloader and media.
4.2.2.3 SCSI
Requirements
Your DLT7 Autoloader requires a wide, SCSI-2, Low-Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI bus.
Make sure your SCSI host adapter or controller supports these standards.
