Chapter 4: Installing the DLT2500XT Stacker
Selecting a Site for the DLT2500XT Stacker
The desktop DLT2500XT stacker is designed to sit on a desk or table, or any flat and level
surface. It is not designed to be placed on the floor.
Select a site using these guidelines:
• For North American applications, place the DLT2000XT tape drive so that its power
cord can reach a 110-VAC, three-pronged (grounded) electrical outlet.
• For international applications, place the DLT2500XT so that its power cord can
reach an approved electrical outlet.
• Place the DLT2500XT stacker so that it is near the host system; the SCSI cable
measures either 12 feet. Never place the stacker on top of a rackmount system; this
placement interrupts air flow through the rack.
• Do not place the DLT2500XT stacker in a small, enclosed area, such as a closet, or it
can overheat. It is important not to block the unit’s front and rear vents.
• Do not drape anything, such as a jacket or blanket, over the DLT2500XT stacker.
• Avoid placing the DLT2500XT stacker in a dusty or humid location.
• Always allow enough space around the DLT2500XT stacker for proper ventilation
and easy access to the front and rear of the unit.
