Unpacking the Autoloader
Before you begin, clear a desk or table so that you have room to unpack
the autoloader. Ensure that the work area is free from conditions that
could cause electrostatic discharge (ESD). Discharge static electricity from
your body by touching a known grounded surface, such as your
computer's metal chassis.
The
Quantum SuperLoader 3 Quick Start Guide
included in the packaging
describes how to unpack and inspect your autoloader correctly. Please
locate the
Quantum SuperLoader 3 Quick Start Guide
and follow the
directions.
Unpack your new Quantum SuperLoader 3 autoloader carefully and
inspect it for any damage that might have occurred during shipping.
1
Inspect the shipping box for damage. If you notice any damage,
report it to the shipping company immediately.
2
Open the shipping box and remove the accessories package. Set the
accessories package aside for now.
3
Lift the autoloader and padding out of the box and place it on the
work surface, top facing up.
Do not set the autoloader on either end or
sides.
4
Carefully remove the shipping padding from the left and right sides
of the autoloader. Then remove the bag from the autoloader.
Note:
The autoloader may not work with multiple SCSI LUNS when
attached to a RAID controller. The autoloader is not
recommended for use with a RAID controller. If this problem
occurs, it is recommended that the autoloader be attached to a
separate SCSI bus controller on the host or server.
Caution:
If the room in which you are working differs from the
temperature in which the autoloader was shipped or
stored by 15° C (30° F) or more, let the autoloader
acclimate to the surrounding environment for at least 12
hours before opening the shipping carton.
