Magazine and Blank Removal/Replacement Instructions
0
The SuperLoader 3 is not intended for customer servicing, however, if you
must service the unit yourself, the power cable must be removed from the
unit and the electrical outlet before removing the cover.
Some parts of the autoloader are customer-replaceable. Magazines are not
interchangeable between the VS/SDLT drive types and LTO drive types of
the autoloader. These parts can be ordered from customer support and
installed at the site of the unit. Be sure to order the appropriate magazine for
your unit.
This procedure covers the removal and replacement of magazines and
magazine blanks in your autoloader.
Replacing a Magazine or Magazine Blank
0
To replace a cartridge magazine or magazine blank, you need to remove the
current magazine or blank, and then install the new magazine or blank. If you
currently have a magazine blank and wish to change it to a cartridge
magazine, you must remove the blank first, and then insert a cartridge
magazine. With two magazines installed, this allows for up a maximum of 16
cartridges in the autoloader, plus one cartridge in the drive.
Removing a Magazine
0
In most cases, you will remove a magazine by using the
Eject
command on
the front panel menu. If you need to remove the magazine when the
autoloader is powered off, you must remove it manually.
Warning:
Failure to take these safety steps may result in personal injury
or equipment damage.
Caution:
If your unit was ordered as a one-magazine autoloader, be
sure to remove the plastic shipping insert from the magazine
bay before connecting or operating your autoloader. Insert
either a magazine or a magazine blank into the bay. The
autoloader will not function without both magazine bays
equipped with either a magazine or a magazine blank.
Note:
Handles are either right or left. They are not interchangeable
between the left and right sides of the autoloader.
