Rackmount
These instructions explain how to remove the SuperLoader 3 from a rackmount.
Required Tools:
• #2 Phillips screwdriver.
While the other installer holds the front end of the SuperLoader 3, remove it

loosen the screws just enough to hold the support brackets firmly
against the rail while still allowing the support bracket to be slightly
shifted by hand. This shifting will help facilitate the removal of the
SuperLoader 3 brackets as the SuperLoader 3 is uninstalled from the
rack.
1Loosen the four (4) screws that connect the two (2) support brackets to the
two (2) SuperLoader 3 brackets. Do not remove the screws completely at
