Choosing a Location

Choose a location that meets the following criteria (see "Technical Specifications"):

NOTICE: Do not place the autoloader on its side or upside down. Do not stack anything on top of the autoloader.

Rack

Standard 19-inch rack with 2U (3.5 in.) of clearance.

Requirements

 

Room

10-35°C (50-95°F)

Temperature

 

Power Source

AC power voltage: 100-127 VAC; 200-240 VAC

 

Line frequency: 50-60 Hz

 

NOTE: Locate the AC outlet near the autoloader. The AC power cable is the product's main AC disconnect device and must be easily

 

accessible at all times.

Weight

14.1 kg (31 lb) unloaded

 

17.2 kg (38 lb) loaded (2 magazines, 16 cartridges)

Air Quality

Minimize sources of particulate contamination. Avoid areas near frequently used doors and walkways, cooling or exhaust vents, stacks of

NOTICE: Excessive dust and debris can damage tapes and tape drives.

Humidity

20-80% RH (noncondensing)

Clearance

Back: Minimum of 43.2 cm (17 in)

UL Requirements

Elevated Operating

When installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be

Ambient Temperature

greater than the room ambient. You must install the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's

 

maximum recommended ambient temperature.

Reduced Air Flow

Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the

 

equipment is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading

Mounting of the equipment in a rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical

 

loading.

Overloading the Circuit Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing the concern.

Reliable Grounding Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit, such as use of power strips.

Bar Code Reader

Your autoloader is equipped with a bar code reader. The bar code reader is enclosed within the body of the autoloader and automatically scans each cartridge in the magazine upon power up, after a reset, after an import or export, or when a re-inventory command is issued (see "Running an Inventory"). The information from each label is stored in memory and available through SCSI and the Remote Management Unit to the computer's operating system or backup application upon request. The bar code reader can be disabled through the operator control panel or the web user interface. This feature allows faster initialization of the unit if non-bar code labels or no labels are used on the cartridges.

If utilizing the bar code reader, you must apply the bar code labels into the slot on the front of each cartridge. The labels must conform to ANSI/AIM BC1 -1995 Uniform Symbology Specification Code 39. A set of bar code labels is initially included with the autoloader. Refer to www.dell.com for information on obtaining additional bar code labels.
