The old Sensor Slave Assembly will be replaced by the new one that has been included
with the expansion kit.
Tools Required:
No. 2 Phillips Screwdriver
Small Mirror (optional)
Small Flashlight (optional)
1.
Remove the Carriage Assembly as described in Section 7.7.1.
2.
If possible, remove all magazines or tapes from the magazines in order to protect
the tape cartridges from possibly being dropped during this procedure. The cars
of the storage array move freely and can easily be arranged so that magazines
can be removed.
3.
Remove the Tape Drive(s) currently installed in the RLS – see Section 7.11.1 for
details).
4.
Unplug the cable at the right end of the Sensor Slave Assembly as shown in Fig-
ure 7-38.
5.
If the RLS is not rack-mounted, carefully turn it on its left side (as seen from the
front) so that the Storage Array mounting screws located on the bottom of the li-
brary can be accessed.
6.
Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the lower or left two screws from the
chassis bottom that hold the Sensor Slave Assembly in place (see Figure 7-39).
Grasp the assembly before removing the top (last) screw and then gently pull it
out through the Front Panel/Door.
In the next step a small mirror and flashlight may be helpful to see the ribbon cable con-
nection.
7.
In the rear left corner of the Drive Bay, just past the drive platform, is a ribbon
cable running from left to right. Pull that cable to the right to unplug it from the
Storage Array Assembly. See Figure 9-2.
8.
Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, carefully remove the six screws that secure
the access panel to the rear of the library. See Figure 9-6.
