Preparing for the Installation 3
SuperLoader 3A Series
Taking ESD Precautions 0 Some 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
0
The 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.
1 Lower the cabinet feet.
2 Extend the cabinet anti-tip device, if available.
3 Ensure that the cabinet and all rack mounted equipment have a reliable ground
connection.
4 Verify 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.
5 Secure 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.
