2U AUTOLOADER

QUICK START GUIDE

Step 1: Unpack the Autoloader

a. Look for markings on the shipping carton that indicate the top. If

necessary, position the carton so that it is top-side up.

b. Using scissors, a utility knife, or other appropriate tool, carefully cut

the packing tape along the length and ends of the carton.

c. Remove the accessories box from the shipping carton and check

the contents. The accessories box contains the following items:

• SCSI cable and terminator

• Manual CD & Quick Start Guide (Hardcopy)

• Power cord (EU & US version)

If this is a rackmount installation, check the rack kit contents (has
to be purchased separately). The rack kit contains the following:

• Hardware kit with clip nuts and bolts

• Mounting rails

• Fixing flanges

d. Lift the Autoloader and padding out of the box and place it on a

work surface, top facing up.

e. Carefully remove the foam packaging from the Autoloader and

then remove the bag.

Step 2: Choose a Location

Select a location for the Autoloader that has adequate clearance for
ventilation, minimal dust and debris, and an appropriate power source
nearby.

If this is a standalone installation, select a location that is flat, sturdy, and
level. Do not place the Autoloader on its side or stack items on top of the
Autoloader.

Step 3: Install the Autoloader into a Rack

If this is a rackmount installation, install the Autoloader into a rack by
doing the following:

• Securing the fixing flanges on the sides of the Autoloader

• Installing the mounting rails into the rack

• Securing the flanges to the mounting rails

Step 4: Cabling the Autoloader

a. Ensure that all devices on the SCSI bus are powered off.

b. Attach a SCSI cable from the SCSI bus to one of the SCSI connectors

on the back panel of the Autoloader.

c. If the Autoloader is the last device on the SCSI bus (or the only

device), attach a SCSI terminator to the other SCSI connector on the
back panel of the Autoloader.
If the Autoloader is not the last device of the SCSI bus, attach a SCSI
cable from the open connector on the back panel of the Autoloader to
the next device on the bus.

d. Connect a power cord from the back panel of the Autoloader to a

grounded power source.

Step 5: Prepare the Host

If necessary, install a SCSI host bus adapter, software, and a compatible
driver on the host computer. Connect the SCSI bus to the host computer.
