Removing a Rackmounted Autoloader (if
necessary)
WARNING Before you remove the autoloader from a rack, lower the rack’s
leveler feet, and extend the rack’s anti-tip device. Failure to
extend the anti-tip device could result in personal injury or
damage to the tape autoloader if the rack tips over.
AVERTISSEMENT Avant de commencer, abaissez les pieds de mise à niveau du rack et
déployez son dispositif antibasculant. Si vous ne déployez pas le
dispositif antibasculant, le rack risque de se renverser et de
provoquer desblessures ou d’endommagerl’autochargeur de bande.
ACHTUNG Bevor Sie mit dem Einbau beginnen, senken Sie die Justierbeine
des Einschubschranks ab, und ziehen Sie die Abstützvorrichtung
heraus, die ihn am umkippen hindert. Wird die
Abstützvorrichtung nicht herausgezogen, kann dies zu
Beschädigungen des Autoloaders führen, sollte der
Einschubschrank umkippen.
AVVISO Prima di iniziare, abbassare il piedino equilibratore dello
scaffale ed estendere il dispositivo anti-inclinazione dello
scaffale. Se non si estende il dispositivo anti-inclinazione, si
potrebbero provocare lesioni personali o danni all’autoloader, in
caso di rovesciamento dello scaffale.

important to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use wrist grounding
straps and anti-static mats when removing and replacing cards and
internal assemplies.
1. Remove the four T-15 screws (see Figure 1-4).
2. Lift the autoloader cover off by easing the sides out and lifting it up
from the chassis.
