Rackmount

These instructions explain how to remove the SuperLoader 3 from a rackmount.

Required Tools:

• #2 Phillips screwdriver.

While the other installer holds the front end of the SuperLoader 3, remove it

loosen the screws just enough to hold the support brackets firmly

against the rail while still allowing the support bracket to be slightly

shifted by hand. This shifting will help facilitate the removal of the

SuperLoader 3 brackets as the SuperLoader 3 is uninstalled from the

rack.
