Unpacking the Tabletop Tape Drive

Before you begin, clear a desk or table so that you can unpack the tape

drive.

Unpack and inspect the tape drive for shipping damage. If you notice any

damage, report it both to the sales representative and to the shipping

company immediately.

Selecting a Location for the Tabletop Tape Drive

Select a location for the tape drive that is flat, sturdy, level, and close to

the server or workstation. There should be sufficient room for the tape

drive to sit without being crowded. A desk or tabletop surface is most

suitable. Regardless of the location you choose for the tape drive, make

sure the environment is free from dust, cigarette smoke, and excessive

temperature and humidity. See the

acceptable operating temperature and humidity limits.
Be sure to follow these additional guidelines when selecting a location for

the tape drive:
• Allow at least 6 inches (15.2 cm) behind the tape drive for proper

cooling.

Note:

If the room in which you are working differs from the

temperature at which the tape drive was shipped or stored by

30 ºF (17 ºC) or more, let the tape drive acclimate to the

surrounding environment for at least 12 hours before opening

the shipping carton.

Caution:

Save the packing materials in case you need to move or

ship the tape drive in the future. When returning a unit to

Quantum for repair, you must use the original or

equivalent packing materials or risk voiding your

warranty.
