INSTALLING THE AUTOLOADER IN A RACK
For optimum performance, use an Ultra160 SCSI host bus adapter.
Compatibility information is available from
www.exabyte.com/compatibility.
If your software has not yet been certified for the Magnum 1x7 LTO
Autoloader, you can use one of the autoloader’s emulation modes (see
page 31).
You can install the software on the host computer before or after
autoloader installation. However, if you install the software first, you
may need to reconfigure it for use with the autoloader after autoloader
installation is complete.
Locate an appropriate area for the autoloader. Select a location that has
adequate clearance for ventilation, minimal dust and debris, and an
appropriate power source. The autoloader is designed to operate in a
standard 19-inch rack. To provide adequate air flow, a ventilated rack is
recommended.
The autoloader must be operated in the horizontal position
. Do not place
the autoloader on its side, and do not place objects on top of the library.
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 a computer’s metal chassis.
