CAUTION: Parts can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge. Keep parts in electrostatic containers
until needed. Ensure that you are properly
grounded when touching static sensitive
components.
CAUTION: Power off the library before installing
this part. Otherwise, damage may occur.
IMPORTANT: When the library is powered off
using the front power button, the robot
automatically parks and locks into the base module
behind the OCP.
After powering off the library and before extending
the module from the rack, look through the
expansion module windows to locate the robotic
assembly. Verify that it is behind the OCP, with
approximately three rows of tape cartridges visible
below the robot.
Depending on expansion module placement, you
might need to remove a magazine from the base
module to determine the robot position.
If you do not see the robotic assembly completely
in the base module, see the User and Service
Guide "Returning the robotic assembly to the base
module" for troubleshooting information.
WARNING: Each library module weighs 20 kg (44
lb) without media or tape drives and at least 35 kg
(77 lb) with media (40 cartridges) and three tape
drives. When moving the library, to reduce the risk
of personal injury or damage to the device:
•
Observe local health and safety requirements
and guidelines for manual material handling.
•
Remove all tapes to reduce the overall weight
of the device and to prevent cartridges from
falling into the robotic path and damaging the
library. Keep the cartridges organized so they
can be returned to the same locations.
•
Obtain adequate assistance to lift and stabilize
the device during installation or removal.
