Unpacking your Drive and Selecting a
Location
Before you begin, clear a desk or table so that you can unpack
your DLT VS160 Tabletop Drive. You also need to select a
location near the server or workstation that is to host your
drive.
Note:
If the room in which you are working differs from the
temperature at which your DLT VS160 Tabletop Drive was
shipped or stored by 30° F (15° C) or more, let the drive
acclimate to the surrounding environment for at least 12 hours
before opening the shipping carton.
2.3.2.1
Unpacking your Drive
Before you do anything else, unpack and inspect your DLT
VS160 Tabletop Drive for shipping damage. If you notice any
damage, report it both to Tandberg and the shipping company
immediately.
Note:
Save the packing materials in case you need to move or
ship your drive in the future. You must ship your DLT VS160
Tabletop Drive in the original or equivalent packing materials
or your warranty may be invalidated.
2.3.2.2
Selecting a Location for your Drive
Select a location for your DLT VS160 Tabletop Drive that is
flat, sturdy, level, and close to the host server or workstation. A
desk or table-top is most suitable. Regardless of the location
you choose for your DLT VS160 Tabletop Drive, make sure the
environment is free from dust and excessive temperature and
humidity. See the
DLT VS160 Product Specification
manual for
acceptable operating temperature and humidity limits.
Be sure to follow these additional guidelines when selecting a
location for your DLT VS160 Tabletop Drive:
•
Allow at least 6 inches (15.2 cm) behind the drive for proper
cooling.
•
Avoid locations near printers or photocopy machines, both of
which produce paper fiber and other types of dust and
airborne contaminants.
•
Do not place your drive on the floor.
