Magazine and Blank Removal/Replacement Instructions

The SuperLoader 3 is not intended for customer servicing, however, if you

must service the unit yourself, the power cable must be removed from the

unit and the electrical outlet before removing the cover.

Some parts of the autoloader are customer-replaceable. Magazines are not

interchangeable between the VS/SDLT drive types and LTO drive types of

the autoloader. These parts can be ordered from customer support and

installed at the site of the unit. Be sure to order the appropriate magazine for

your unit.
This procedure covers the removal and replacement of magazines and

magazine blanks in your autoloader.

Replacing a Magazine or Magazine Blank

To replace a cartridge magazine or magazine blank, you need to remove the

current magazine or blank, and then install the new magazine or blank. If you

currently have a magazine blank and wish to change it to a cartridge

magazine, you must remove the blank first, and then insert a cartridge

magazine. With two magazines installed, this allows for up a maximum of 16

cartridges in the autoloader, plus one cartridge in the drive.

Removing a Magazine

In most cases, you will remove a magazine by using the

Eject

command on

the front panel menu. If you need to remove the magazine when the

autoloader is powered off, you must remove it manually.

Warning:

Failure to take these safety steps may result in personal injury

or equipment damage.

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. Insert

either a magazine or a magazine blank into the bay. The

autoloader will not function without both magazine bays

equipped with either a magazine or a magazine blank.

Note:

Handles are either right or left. They are not interchangeable

between the left and right sides of the autoloader.
