This procedure assumes that the Carriage Assembly was removed in Section 7.7.1.
1.
Place the Carriage Assembly on its backside on top of the chassis and then posi-
tion it so that the ribbon cable can reach its mating connector. See Figure 7-6.
2.
Connect the ribbon cable to the CARAGE connector. See Figure 7-6.
3.
Place your thumb and second finger of each hand into the pair of grip holes on
the left and right sides of the Carriage Assembly top plate. If the slider is block-
ing a pair of holes, gently push it out of the way. Lower the Carriage Assembly
into the chassis. See Figure 7-4.
4.
Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, replace the two Carriage Assembly flat-head
screws removed earlier from the bottom of the chassis. See Figure 7-5. The
heads of these screws must be flush with the chassis bottom.
5.
Follow the steps in Section 7.6.2 to close the library's Top Cover.
6.
If the RLS is rack-mounted, follow Section 7.5.2 to retract the RLS into the rack.
7.
If the RLS is not rack-mounted, reposition it to its original location on the table.
8.
If the Carriage Assembly was replaced with a different unit, proceed to Section
7.24 to calibrate the RLS.
