SuperLoader 3A Series

Connecting Ethernet and Power Cables

To connect the Ethernet and power cables to the autoloader, follow these steps:

1Attach one end of the Ethernet cable (included in the accessory kit) to the tape drive Ethernet port on the back panel of the autoloader.

2Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to your host network port or router.

3Attach the female connector of the power cable to the power connector on the back panel of the autoloader.

4Plug in the power cable to the nearest properly grounded power outlet, then turn on the power switch on the back panel of the autoloader.

Caution: Whenever you power cycle the autoloader, allow 10 seconds before turning the power back on. The power supply requires at least two to three seconds for the capacitors to discharge. This ensures a complete system reset on power down and may avoid system errors.

5Turn on the autoloader by setting the power switch on the back panel to the ON position and pressing the power switch on the front panel. Check the LCD screen to make sure the autoloader is receiving power. If it is not, check the power connections and your power source.

During the Power-on Self Test (POST), both LEDs are illuminated briefly, followed by only the Ready/Activity LED flashing. When the initialization sequence is complete, the LCD screen displays the Home screen.

Note: The autoloader will not complete the initialization sequence unless both tape magazine openings are properly closed. You can use two magazines or one magazine and one magazine blank.

Note: When the SuperLoader 3A Series is powered up, it undergoes a media inventory. Each tape cartridge in the autoloader is inserted into the A-Series tape drive and inventoried. Depending upon the number of cartridges in each magazine and the amount of content or data on each cartridge, the media cartridge inventory may take up to forty minutes.
