Preparing Modules for Rack Installation

Preparing Modules for Rack Installation
These instructions explain how to prepare the modules for the installation into
the rack.
1 Save the library configuration:
a From the Web client, select Tools > Save/Restore Configuration.
b Select Save System Configuration, and click Apply.
2 Power off your library; perform the shutdown sequence and then press the
power button on the front of the control module:
• From the Web client, select Operations > System Shutdown.
• From the Operator panel, select Operations > Shutdown.
3 Disconnect all power cords, network data cables, and module-to-module
cables. Label the cables so that you can reconnect them to the correct ports.
4 Remove all tape cartridges, tape drives, power supplies, and all cords and
cables, from the library modules. The modules are much easier to lift into
the rack without the additional weight of the tape drives. Be sure to label
each item so that you can return it to its correct position.
WARNING: Without tape drives, tape cartridges, or power supplies, a
control module weighs approximately 60 lbs (27.20 kg). An
expansion module, without tape drives, tape cartridges, or
power supplies, exceeds 65 lbs (29.50 kg).
To avoid serious injury, at least two people are required to
safely lift the modules.
5 Park the robot assembly in the control module:
Note: Regardless of which module you are installing, the robot must be
parked in the control module before you begin moving the
modules into the rack.
a Open the I/O station and access doors of each module.
b Using your hands, gently lift the robot assembly into the control
module. The robot assembly should glide slowly and with some
resistance.
Caution: Support the robot assembly by holding onto the broad
metal X-axis plate. Lifting the robot by the thin metal rod
will bend the rod. Lifting the robot by the black plastic
picker body can damage the robot.
c After raising the robot assembly to the approximate middle of the
control module, hold it in place with one hand and, using your other
hand, move the parking tab in a counter-clockwise direction until it
stops in the "parked" position (see
parking tab is located at the bottom of column 1.
