Failure to extend the anti-tip device could result in personal injury or damage to the tape autoloader if the rack tips over. AVERTISSEMENT Avant de commencer, abaissez les pieds de mise à niveau du rack et déployez son dispositif antibasculant. Si vous ne déployez pas le dispositif antibasculant, le rack risque de se renverser et de provoquer des blessures ou d'endommager l'autochargeur de bande. ACHTUNG Bevor Sie mit dem Einbau beginnen, senken Sie die Justierbeine des Einschubschranks ab, und ziehen Sie die Abstützvorrichtung heraus, die ihn am umkippen hindert. Wird die Abstützvorrichtung nicht herausgezogen, kann dies zu Beschädigungen des Autoloaders führen, sollte der Einschubschrank umkippen. AVVISO Prima di iniziare, abbassare il piedino equilibratore dello scaffale ed estendere il dispositivo anti-inclinazione dello scaffale. Se non si estende il dispositivo anti-inclinazione, si potrebbero provocare lesioni personali o danni all'autoloader, in caso di rovesciamento dello scaffale. 1-4 Chapter 1 ADVERTENCIA Antes de empezar, baje las patas de nivelación del bastidor y abra el dispositivo estabilizador del mismo. En caso de no abrir el dispositivo estabilizador, existe el peligro de que se produzcan lesiones personales o daños al cargador automático de cintas si se vuelca el bastidor. Removing the Autoloader from a Rack To remove the autoloader from a rack, do the following: 1. Release the filler panel (and/or trim bracket) from the spacer bracket by releasing the screws from the clip nuts located at the front of the autoloader (see Figure 1-2). 2. Using two people or an appropriately rated lift, remove the autoloader by gently sliding it toward the front of the rack. 3. Place the autoloader on a stable surface in preparation for upgrade.
