Exabyte 1X7 LTO manual Installing the Autoloader in a Rack, Autoloader and the outlet

INSTALLING THE AUTOLOADER IN A RACK

For optimum performance, use an Ultra160 SCSI host bus adapter.

Compatibility information is available from

www.exabyte.com/compatibility.

If your software has not yet been certified for the Magnum 1x7 LTO Autoloader, you can use one of the autoloader’s emulation modes (see page 31).

You can install the software on the host computer before or after autoloader installation. However, if you install the software first, you may need to reconfigure it for use with the autoloader after autoloader installation is complete.

Locate an appropriate area for the autoloader. Select a location that has adequate clearance for ventilation, minimal dust and debris, and an appropriate power source. The autoloader is designed to operate in a standard 19-inch rack. To provide adequate air flow, a ventilated rack is recommended.

	The autoloader must be operated in the horizontal position. Do not place
	the autoloader on its side, and do not place objects on top of the library.
	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 a computer’s metal chassis.
Warning	Before performing any installation or maintenance procedures, be sure that the
	autoloader’s power switch is off and that the power cord is disconnected from the
	autoloader and the outlet.

Warnung Vor der Ausführung von Installations- oder Wartungsarbeiten ist darauf zu achten, daß der Autoloader-Netzschalter auf “Aus” gestellt ist und daß das Anschlußkabel vom Autoloader und der Steckdose entfernt ist.

Advertencia Antes de realizar cualquier procedimiento de instalación o de mantenimiento, comprobar que el interruptor de alimentación de la biblioteca está apagado y que el cable de alimentación no está enchufado ni a la biblioteca ni a la toma de corriente.
