Installation

The Scalar 1000 requires an ADIC installation

Customer Engineer (CE) to perform the library installa-
tion. Please consult your ADIC reseller for an installation
price quote. ADIC installation services include installing
and configuring the Scalar 1000 library (hardware) and a
comprehensive, customized product overview. This hands-
on training will give library operators first hand training
and guidance. Please note that customers are responsible
for the backup software installation.

Proper site preparation simplifies the installation pro-

cess so utilize this guide to identify those items requiring
customer attention. Before the actual installation, the
ADIC CE will call the customer to review the necessary
preparation steps, select the install date, and answer any
questions. Total install time varies by customer site, but to
provide adequate time, customers should plan on one day
to complete the Scalar 1000 installation.
