(1)
All operating specifications include a data cartridge. These measurements assume that the autoloader
is installed in accordance with the installation instructions.
(2)
The autoloader is in its original packaging.
(3)
The autoloader has been unpacked but is still in its protective antistatic bag. The packaging is
designed to protect the autoloader from the condensation caused by extreme temperature variations
(15° C or more). When the autoloader is moved from a cold storage environment to a warm operating
environment, it must acclimate in its packaging for at least 12 hours before opening to prevent serious
condensation damage from occurring.
(4)
The autoloader has not been unpacked. The transportation period does not exceed 72 hours.
(5)
The data cartridges, temperature and humidity must be allowed to stabilize in the specified ambient
environment for 24 hours.
