Preparing for the Installation 3
SuperLoader 3
Taking ESD Precautions 0Some components within the autoloader contain static-sensitive parts. To avoid damaging
these parts while performing installation procedures, always observe the following
precautions:
• 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 your computer's metal chassis.
• Keep the autoloader turned off during all installation procedures.
• Use an antistatic wrist strap.
• Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until ready for
installation. Look for the ESD sticker to identify static sensitive parts.
• Avoid touching connectors and other components.
Preparing for Rack
Mounting 0The autoloader can be rack mounted by attaching it directly to stationary cabinet rails.
Take the following general safety steps before beginning the rack-mount installation.
1Lower the cabinet feet.
2Extend the cabinet anti-tip device, if available.
3Ensure that the cabinet and all rack mounted equipment have a reliable ground
connection.
4Verify that the total current of all rack mounted components (including the
autoloader) will not exceed the current rating of the power distribution unit or outlet
receptacles.
5Secure the help of at least one other person. At least two people are required to safely
install the autoloader into a rack cabinet.
Note: Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have lower relative
humidity and are more likely to produce static electricity.
Note: An anti-tip device may be extendable legs or similar equipment used to
stabilize the cabinet. This anti-tip equipment is to help avoid over-
balancing the cabinet when installing or removing equipment.
Warning: Failure to take these safety steps may result in personal injury or
equipment damage.
4Unpacking the Autoloader
SuperLoader™ 3 Quick Start Guide
Unpacking the Autoloader
Before you begin, clear a desk or table so that you can unpack the autoloader.
The Quantum SuperLoader 3 Quick Start Guide
has all the necessary information to unpack
and inspect your autoloader correctly.
You also need to select an open 2U computer rack location near the server that will host
the autoloader.
Carefully unpack and inspect your new Quantum SuperLoader 3 by doing the following:
1Inspect the shipping box for damage. If you notice any damage, report it to the
shipping company immediately.
2Open the shipping box and remove the accessories package. Set the accessories
package aside for now.
3Lift the autoloader and padding out of the box and place it on the work surface, top
facing up. Do not set the autoloader on either end or sides.
4Carefully remove the shipping padding from the left and right sides of the
autoloader. Then remove the bag from the autoloader.
5Remove the foam insert from the magazine bay of the autoloader. Save the packing
materials in case you need to move or ship the autoloader in the future.
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.
Caution: If the room in which you are working differs from the temperature in
which the autoloader was shipped or stored by 15° C (30° F) or more, let
the autoloader acclimate to the surrounding environment for at least 12
hours before removing it from the shipping carton.
Caution: If your unit was ordered as a one-magazine autoloader, be sure to remove
the plastic shipping insert from the magazine bay before connecting or
operating your autoloader. Insert either a magazine or a magazine blank
into the bay. The autoloader will not function without both magazine bays
equipped with either a magazine or a magazine blank.
Note: If the cover must be taken off, there are 26 screws that need to be removed.

SuperLoader™ 3 Quick Start Guide
Rack Mounting the Autoloader
This section provides the steps for attaching the autoloader directly to the stationary rails
of a rack. Refer to table 1 for information on common rack hole types.
Table 1 Rack Hole Types
1Install two clip nuts, 1.75 in. (44.45 mm) apart, onto each of the four rails of the rack,
making sure that you install each pair of clip nuts at exactly the same level (see
figure 2).
Figure Description
Square rack holes are the most
common type of rack holes.
They can accept either cage
nuts which mount from the back
of the rail or clip nuts which clip
on from the side of the rack rail.
Through holes require clip nuts
to accept mounting hardware.
Threaded holes require neither
cage or clip nuts to accept
mounting hardware.
Note: The rails within the rack have a hole pattern that repeats throughout the rail.

2Select the long or short autoloader brackets (depending on the depth of the rack), and
then attach them to the rear of the autoloader (see figure 3). Use the long autoloader
brackets (72-A226-A) when the distance from the front mounting rail to the rear
mounting rail is less than 30.25 in. (76.84 cm). Otherwise, use the short autoloader
brackets (72-A225-A).

3Using rack screws, attach a support bracket to the clip nuts on each rear rail (see
figure 4).
Tighten the screws just enough to hold the support brackets firmly against the rail
while still allowing the support bracket to be slightly shifted by hand. This shifting
will help facilitate the engagement of autoloader brackets as the autoloader is
installed in the rack. You will fully tighten the screws in step 8.
Note: Be sure to attach the support brackets correctly; the side of the bracket with
only two holes should be secured to the rail.

4With the help of a second installer, insert the autoloader into the rack so that the
autoloader brackets slide into corresponding support brackets on the rear rails and
the tabs at the front of the autoloader align flush with the clip nuts on the front rails
(see figure 5).
Caution: Do not release the front end of the autoloader until it can be secured to
the rack.

5While the other installer holds the front end of the autoloader, secure the front end of
the autoloader to the rack using four rack screws (two per tab) as shown in figure 6.
Tighten the screws just enough to secure the autoloader to the front rails.
