[. . . ] This ensures a complete system reset on power down and may avoid system errors. Installation Preparation 0 Before you install your new Quantum SuperLoader 3 autoloader, unpack it carefully and inspect it for any damage that might have occurred during shipping. The Quantum SuperLoader 3 Quick Start Guide included in the packaging describes all the necessary information to unpack and inspect your autoloader correctly. Please locate the Quantum SuperLoader 3 Quick Start Guide and follow the directions. Ensure that the work area is free from conditions that could cause electrostatic discharge (ESD). [. . . ] Caution: If the room in which you are working differs from the temperature in which the autoloader was shipped or stored by 15° C (30° F) or more, let the autoloader acclimate to the surrounding environment for at least 12 hours before opening the shipping carton. If your unit was ordered as a one-magazine autoloader, be sure to remove the plastic shipping insert from the magazine bay before connecting or operating your autoloader. The autoloader will not function without both magazine bays equipped with either a magazine or a magazine blank. Caution: Unpack and inspect the autoloader for shipping damage by doing the following: 1 Clear a table or desk so that you have room to unpack the autoloader.

Preparing the Host and Verifying the Connection 0 If necessary, install a SCSI host adapter, software, and compatible drivers. Refer to the manuals for the host computer and SCSI host adapter for detailed instructions. In addition, follow these general guidelines: · When the host server is powered on, install software, and/or drivers that are compatible with the autoloader (see Installing the Device Drivers). Most backup software packages require an additional module to communicate with the autoloader robotics. If the host server is connected to a network, check with the system administrator before turning off power. Use wrist-grounding straps and anti-static mats when handling internal components. Make sure that your backup application supports the SCSI host adapter. Depending on the server configuration, you may need to change the SCSI ID of the autoloader. If the autoloader is the only SCSI deviceóother than the SCSI host adapteróon the selected SCSI bus, it must be terminated. Likewise, if the autoloader is physically the last SCSI device on the SCSI bus, it must be terminated. Only the devices physically at the beginning and end of the SCSI bus should be terminated. If the host is located at the beginning of the SCSI bus, the host should already have a terminator installed.
