Chapter2 Setup
This chapter describes the procedure for connecting the Autoloader to a basic processing device
such as a server or workstation.
Important
Maintenance personnel will perform the rack installation or removal work for
the Tandberg LTO2 Autoloader.
2.1 Preparation Before Use
Before using the Autoloader, remove the transporter locking screw that is a type of thumbscrew
located at the left side of the decorative cover.
Important
Remove the transporter locking screw before switching ON the power switch.
Switching ON the power while the transporter locking screw is still attached
could result in damage to the Autoloader.
Removal of the Transporter Locking Screw and Instruction TAG
1. To loosen this screw turn to counterclockwise by hand.
2. Remove the Instruction TAG with the Transporter Locking Screw (see figure 2-1).

2.2 SCSI Cable Connections
CAUTION
The Autoloader is connected to the server/workstation (or other SCSI device) with a SCSI cable.
The SCSI connector of the Autoloader is located on the rear panel.
To the next SCSI device
Before starting the installation of this device, be certain to
unplug the power plug of the server, workstation, or other
processing equipment. Working on the unit while the power
plug is left connected to the power outlet could result in
electrical shock.
Terminator

From the host computer
- 9 -
When the SCSI connections end with this device (i.e., when connection to a separate device is
not made from the left-side connector), be certain to connect the terminator supplied with the
main unit. Failure to connect the terminator will result in improper operation of all connected
SCSI devices.
When connections are made to other SCSI devices with the Autoloader connected in an
intermediate position, connection to the next SCSI device is made from the left-side connector.
Be certain to attach the terminator to the SCSI device positioned at the farthest end of the chain
of devices that are connected by SCSI cable.
Please refer to the manuals supplied with the server/workstation and SCSI devices for
information about the method of connection to server/workstations and other SCSI devices.
Note that the SCSI cable is sold separately. Please purchase a SCSI cable that suits the connectors
of the Autoloader, the equipment to be connected, as well as the SCSI interface specifications.
Important
Once cable connections are completed, check that there are no kinks in the
connections. SCSI cable connectors are equipped with screws for securing the
connection. Please check that the connectors have been securely fastened with
the screws.
2.3 AC Power Cable Connection
When the connection to the signal cable or terminating connector is completed, check that the
power switch is OFF (switched to the " { " side).
After checking it, plug the AC power cord supplied with the main unit into the AC power
connector of this device. Ensure that the plug is inserted completely.
