Preparing the autoloader for installation
Before you begin hardware installation, do the following:
§
Make certain the SCSI host bus adapter card installed in the
host computer and the application software are compatible
with the autoloader. Software compatibility information is
available from www.exabyte.com.
§
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.
§
Locate an appropriate area for the autoloader. The autoloader
must have a level surface near a readily accessible outlet. In
addition, there must be approximately 15 cm (6 inches) of
open area behind the autoloader for adequate air flow.
§
As an option, you can install the autoloader into a rack by
contacting Exabyte for a rack-mount kit, which includes
hardware and installation instructions. See
“Contacting
Exabyte” on the inside back cover.
WARNING!
Before performing any installation or maintenance
procedures, be sure that the autoloader power
switch is in the off position and that the pow er cord
is disconnected from the autoloader and the
outlet.
