UL Requirements
Bar Code Reader
Your autoloader is equipped with a bar code reader. Although the autoloader does not require tape cartridges to have barcode labels, properly labeled tape
cartridges and full storage slots speed up the inventory process and allow for faster media access.
The bar code reader is enclosed within the body of the autoloader and automatically scans each cartridge in the magazine upon power up, after a reset, after
an import or export, or when a re-inventory command is issued (see "
Running an Inventory "). The information from each label is stored in memory and
available through the Remote Management Unit to the computer's operating system or backup application upon request. The bar code reader can be disabled
through the operator control panel or the web user interface.
If utilizing the bar code reader, you must apply the bar code labels into the slot on the front of each cartridge. The labels must conform to ANSI/AIM BC1 -1995
Uniform Symbology Specification Code 39. A set of bar code labels is initially included with the autoloader. Refer to
www.dell.com for information on obtaining
additional bar code labels.
The following shows approximate autoloader startup times with varying tape cartridge magazine configurations:

Elevated Operating
Ambient Temperature When installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than the room ambient. You must install the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's
maximum recommended ambient temperature.
Reduced Air Flow Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading Mounting of the equipment in a rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical
loading.
Overloading the Circuit Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of
circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings
should be used when addressing the concern.
Reliable Grounding Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit, such as use of power strips.
