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.
