Accessories 0 Unpacking the Autoloader 0 Before you begin, clear a desk or table so that you can unpack the autoloader. You also need to select an open 2U computer rack location near the server that will host the autoloader. 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. CAUTION: 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.

SuperLoader 3 Quick Start Guide 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 antistatic 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 device other than the SCSI host adapter on the selected SCSI bus, it must be terminated.
