SA Virtual TapeServer SCSI-to-FC Adapter User Manual.

I. Unpacking the Box
1. Remove all items from the shipping container. Check
each item for any damage. Keep the VT5900-SA in the
protective bag until you are ready to install it.
2. Make sure you received all the equipment you ordered. If
an item appears missing, contact your sales representative
immediately.
II. Selecting an Installation Location
Select an installation location that ensures air can circulate
freely in the unit. The VT5900-SA has cooling fans mounted
inside of the enclosure, and the rear intake vents and the front
exhaust vents should remain clear of obstructions to ensure
proper airflow.
III. Mounting on a Table or Desktop
1. Remove the VT5900-SA from its protective bag.
2. Attach the supplied adhesive feet underneath the unit.
3. Place the VT5900-SA on a table or desktop.

The standard method of installation uses ear brackets or rails
in order to mount the VT5900-SA in a standard 19” rack using
the provided mounting materials:
• one VT5900-SA
• two ear brackets (or two slide rails and two extension
brackets)
• bag of Phillips screws (8 of #M6x12, 4 of #6-32x.312)
