Chapter 3. Installation.
3.1.3. Step 3. Connecting Power Cable
Before connecting the StorageLoader to your host computer system you should run the self-diagnostic
of the unit. This preparation requires power to the StorageLoader. Go through the following steps to
perform this test:
1. Use the power cables from the accessories included in the shipment. Make sure you select
the power cord suited for your power system.
2. Plug the power cable into the rear of the StorageLoader (see Figure 3.8). Plug the other end
of the cable into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
3. Turn on the StorageLoader by switching the Power Switch to “1”.
If the transport lock is present the loader will detect this and instruct the user to remove it, see
the next step: Step 4. Removing the Transport Lock.
Figure 3.8. Main Power switch, fuse holder and power cord connection.
Note
Reliable earthing depends on earthing in the AC electrical outlet, in which the
StorageLoader’s power cable is connected. Adding the StorageLoader to an
existing rack installation can cause a leaking current fault condition because of
the summation of the leaking currents. For security, a 250V 2A (H) fuse is located
near the power switch.
3.1.4. Step 4. Removing the Transport Lock
The robot mechanism is protected from
damage during shipment with a screw
holding the robotics in a locked position.
This locking screw is marked with a red
plastic tab protruding between the right
magazine and the front panel assembly.
See Figure 3.9.
This locking screw must be removed
before the StorageLoader can operate
normally.

The locking screw will be detected when the StorageLoader is powered on. The display will show a
message indicating the locking screw has been detected. The display will instruct the user to remove
the magazine to gain access to the locking screw. Remove the screw and reinsert the magazine. The
loader will now continue its power on sequence, see next step.
