LTO Autoloader Rackmount Kit
Rackmount Kit Installation
You can easily convert your LTO autoloader from a desktop to a rackmount configuration.
Before you begin, be aware of the following guidelines:
• For continued safe operation, the recommended maximum internal ambient temperature of
the rack should not exceed 95ºF (35ºC).
• While installing a rackmounted unit, do not block or otherwise restrict airflow to the front or
rear vents.
• To maintain rack stability, consider the mechanical loading of the rack to ensure a low center
of gravity.
• Before installing a unit into a rack, consider the overall loading of the branch circuit supplying
power to the rack.
• Ensure that a reliable grounding path is maintained in the rack system. This unit is intended
to be connected to Earth ground.
