Step 1: Unpack the ValueLoader

Look for markings on the shipping carton that indicate the top. If necessary,

position the carton so that it is top-side up.

Using scissors, a utility knife, or other appropriate tool, carefully cut the packing

tape along the length and ends of the carton.

Remove the accessories from the shipping carton and check the contents. The

accessories include the following items:

•

SCSI cable and terminator

•

Regulatory insert and documentation

•

Power cord

If this is a rackmount installation, check the rack kit contents. The rack kit contains

the following items:

•

Hardware kit with clip nuts and bolts

•

Mounting rails

•

Fixing flanges

Lift the ValueLoader and padding out of the box and place it on a work surface, top

facing up.

Carefully remove the foam packaging from the ValueLoader and then remove the

bag.

Step 2: Choose a Location

Select a location for the ValueLoader that has adequate

clearance for ventilation, minimal dust and debris, and an

appropriate power source nearby.

If this is a standalone installation, select a location that is flat,

sturdy, and level. Do not place the Valueloader on its side or

stack items on top of the ValueLoader.

Step 3: Install the ValueLoader into a

Rack

If this is a rackmount installation, install the ValueLoader into a

rack by doing the following:

•

Securing the fixing flanges on the sides of the

ValueLoader

•

Installing the mounting rails into the rack

•

Securing the flanges to the mounting rails

Step 4: Cabling the ValueLoader

Ensure that all devices on the SCSI bus are powered off.

Attach a SCSI cable from the SCSI bus to one of the SCSI

connectors on the back panel of the ValueLoader.

If the ValueLoader is the last device on the SCSI bus (or the

only device), attach a SCSI terminator to the other SCSI

connector on the back panel of the ValueLoader.

If the ValueLoader is not the last device of the SCSI bus,

attach a SCSI cable from the open connector on the back

panel of the ValueLoader to the next device on the bus.

Connect a power cord from the back panel of the

ValueLoader to a grounded power source.

compatible driver on the host computer. Connect the SCSI bus to

the host computer.

Step 6: Turn on the ValueLoader

Turn on the ValueLoader by pressing the power button on the

front panel. Power on the host and all attached SCSI devices.
