SAFETY NOTES
This section provides several precautions to enable you to use the product safely and
correctly and to prevent injury and property damage. Read this section carefully to ensure
proper and safe use of the product. For symbols, see "SAFETY INDICATIONS" provided
earlier.
General Attention
Do not use in life-critical applications or applications requiring high reliability.
This device is not intended for integration with or control of facilities or equipment
that may affect human life or that require a high degree of reliability, such as
medical equipment, nuclear power facilities, aerospace instruments, and
transportation equipment. The manufacturer does not assume any liability for
accidents resulting in injury or death, or for any damages to property that may occur
as a result of using this device in such facilities, equipment, or control systems.
Do not use the Built-in LTO if any smoke, odor, or noise is present.
If smoke, odor, or noise is present, immediately turn off the POWER switch and
disconnect the power plug from the outlet, then contact your sales agent. Using the
Built-in LTO in such conditions may cause a fire.
Keep needles or metal objects away from the Built-in LTO.
Do not insert needles or metal objects into ventilation holes in the Built-in LTO.
Failure to follow this warning may cause an electric shock.
Keep water or foreign matter away from the Built-in LTO.
Do not let any kind of liquid (water etc.) or foreign matter (e.g., pins or paper clips)
enter the Built-in LTO. Failure to follow this warning may cause an electric shock, a
fire, or a failure of the Built-in LTO. When such things accidentally enter the Built-in
LTO, immediately turn off the power and disconnect the power plug from the outlet.
Do not disassemble the Built-in LTO. Contact your sales agent.

Attention to Power or Power Cord
Do not hold the DC cable with a wet hand.
Do not disconnect/connect the cable while your hands are wet. Failure to follow this
warning may cause an electric shock.
Do not install the device while the power is turned on.
Unplug the AC power cord from the main power source when installing/uninstalling
the device to/from server or connect it with the enclosure. Failure to follow this
warning may cause an electric shock.
Insert the DC cable into the outlet as far as it goes.
Heat generation resulting from a halfway inserted DC cable (imperfect contact) may
cause a fire. Heat will also be generated if condensation is formed on dusty blades
of the halfway inserted cable, increasing the possibility of a fire.
Do not connect the Built-in LTO by unspecified cabling.
Connecting or cabling with DC cable should be done in accordance with the
procedure specified in the User's Guide.
Unspecified connecting or cabling may cause an electric shock or a fire.
Do not use any damaged power cord.
If the power cord is damaged, immediately replace it with a new part of same type.
Do not repair the damaged section for reuse. Otherwise, the section repaired with
vinyl tape or the like will be overheated to cause an electric shock or a fire.
Use the authorized cable only.
Use only the specified cable when connecting the Built-in LTO with a server. Use of
an unspecified cable or connection by unspecified cabling may cause a fire.

5
Attention to Installing, Moving, Storing, Connection
Do not close the ventilation hole.
Do not close the ventilation hole in the front side of the Built-in LTO. Otherwise, its
internal temperature will rise to cause malfunctions or a fire.
Do not connect/disconnect the interface cables before unplugging the power
plug.
Before connecting/disconnecting the interface cables, disconnect the power plug of
the main power unit from the outlet. If the power is off but the power plug is still
connected, you may get an electric shock.
Do not use the unspecified interface cables.
Uses only the cable authorized by NEC and locate the device and connector before
connection. Use of an unauthorized cable or displaced connection may cause a
short circuit, resulting in a fire.
When handling or connecting the interface cables, keep the notes as follows: Do not tread on cables.
Do not load on the cable.
Insert the cable connector as far as it goes.
Do not use damaged cables.
Do not use damaged connectors.
Make sure that screwing or the like is done firmly.
Do not use or keep in the environment where corrosive gas exists.
Do not use Built-in LTO Auto Loader, installing in the environment where corrosive
gas (sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide, chlorine, ammonia, ozone,
etc.) exists.
In addition, do not set it up in the environment including the element (sodium
chloride and sulfur, etc.) that promotes corrosion in dust and air, and the
electro-conductive metal etc. The print plate in the device corrodes, and it might
cause the breakdown and smoking and the ignition.
When there is the above-mentioned doubt in the environment of use, please consult
with a store or a maintenance service company.
Avoid installation in extreme temperature condition.
Immediately after the power supply of the server is turned off, components in the
server including the internal hard disk drive or others are hot. Please install/detach
the device after confirming it is cold enough.

than described in this User's Guide. Failure to follow this instruction may cause an
electric shock or a fire as well as malfunctions of the Built-in LTO.
The following can be performed by the Built-in LTO user. Do not perform any other
type of disassembly than described here.
Remove or install brackets
Remove or install the DC signal cable
Do not handle while the power plug is connected.
Before handling or cleaning the Built-in LTO, disconnect the power plug of the main
power unit from the outlet. If the power is off but the power plug is still connected,
you may get an electric shock.
Insert the cables into the connectors as far as it goes.
Heat generation resulting from a halfway inserted cables or Interface cables
(imperfect contact) may cause a fire. Heat will also be generated if condensation is

FOR PROPER OPERATION
To operate the Built-in LTO correctly, observe the following points.
For considerations on handling the data cartridge, refer to the chapter "Data Cartridge".
Do not turn off the server when the LED on the front of the Built-in LTO is blinking.
This may cause a machine failure or damage of backup data.
Do not store the Built-in LTO in a place subject to corrosive gas, chemicals, or
splash of chemicals.
Built-in LTO parts may be deformed or damaged and may not be able to
operate correctly.
Do not store the Built-in LTO in a place subject to strong vibrations.
This may cause the Built-in LTO to be defected.
As the data cartridge set in the Built-in LTO, use our "Data Cartridge."
If you use a data cartridge of other manufacturer, a read/write error may
occur.
Any data cartridge cannot be used as the system disk.
This may cause the OS to be started unsuccessfully and/or the data in the
data cartridge to be broken.
Do not disassemble data cartridges.
This may cause the data stored in the data cartridge to be broken. Inserting a
data cartridge having been disassembled into the Built-in LTO may cause the
Built-in LTO to be defected.
Do not bring a substance which generates magnetism close to data cartridges.
This cause the data stored in the data cartridges may be broken.
Eject the data cartridge when you are done performing a backup.
This may shorten the operational life of the data cartridge and/or case
malfunctions.
