Preparing for the Installation

Before you begin the installation procedure in this section, make the following

preparations as described in this section:

•Providing Necessary Tools

•Taking ESD Precautions

•Preparing for Rack Mounting

Providing Necessary Tools 0Provide the following tools for unpacking and installing the autoloader:

• #2 Phillips screwdriver

• Level

• Antistatic wrist strap

Preparing for the Installation 3

SuperLoader 3A Series

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™ 3A Series Quick Start Guide

Unpacking the Autoloader

Before you begin, clear a desk or table so that you can unpack the autoloader.

The SuperLoader 3A Series 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 SuperLoader 3A Series autoloader 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.

6Rack Mounting the Autoloader

SuperLoader™ 3A Series 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.
