INSTALLATION AND OPERATION2.0 INTRODUCTION
Section II describes. unpacking, inspecting, installing, cabling, adjusting, and operating the Model 9610 Tape Drive.
2.1 UNPACKING
WARNING
The Model 9610 Tape Drive weighs 110 pounds. Use safe lifting practices to remove the drive from the container.
The Model 9610 and 9660 Tape Drives are shipped cushioned by polyethylene foam supports in a heavy-weight cardboard container. Place the shipping container on a flat, horizontal, dry, non-slip surface. Carefully cut the binding straps, and remove the top lid. Remove the cardboard sides of the shipping container. The Drive can now be conveniently lifted from the shipping container. Set the Drive on a flat, horizontal surface. Save the following items: Slide Rails, AC Power Cord, 220/240-volt Fuse Kit, Hardware (two Shipping Retainer Brackets, Rack-Latch Angle Bracket, screws, etc) and 9610/9660 Manual. Retain the shipping container, polyethylene wrap, and foam supports for possible future shipment.
Tape Drives shipped in racks are held in place by the two Shipping Retainer Brackets mentioned above (Figure 2-1). These Brackets should be removed after the Rack is put in its final location at the installation site, and the Rack-Latch Angle Bracket (also mentioned above) must be installed in place of the left Retainer Bracket. This Bracket comprises the Catch (Figure 2-1) for the Retainer Latch located just inside the Front Panel.
2.2 INSPECTION
Inspect the drive for shipping damage such as scratches, dents, or cracks in the frame.
On the Dust Cover (top of Drive), turn the two holding screws 1/4th turn counterclockwise, open the dust cover and, with the Cover Support Bar (Figure 2-2), latch the Dust Cover in Maintenance Position. Check for loose or missing parts, and foreign material. Open the Tape Path Cover and verify that all parts/areas of the tape path are clean. Remove the PCBA Cover and verify that all PC Boards (Figure 2-4) are seated properly. Reinstall PCBA Cover.
