Rackmounting
WARNING: It takes two people to safely rackmount your autoloader.
WARNING: Before you begin, make sure that the rack is sufficiently stable. If provided, lower the rack leveler feet and make sure any required stabilizers are installed. If provided, extend the rack
Caution: Do not remove the top cover of the autoloader during the installation process. Removing the top cover could result in damage to the autoloader. It also causes the autoloader chassis to bow and prevents correct installation.
Caution: Make sure that the rack and all equipment mounted in the rack have a reliable ground connection. Verify that the total current of the rack components does not exceed the current rating of the power distribution unit or outlet receptacles.
