Locating a Cartridge in the Storage Cells

Figure 3 on page 21 and Figure 4 on page 22 show the locations of the panels, rows, and columns of the cartridge storage cells in the library. The decal at the top of each column also provides location information. To remove a cartridge from a storage cell, slide out the cartridge.

Removing a Cartridge from the Hand

If the library loses power or goes offline, a cartridge might be left in the hand. You can remove it from the hand and manually mount it into a drive for a read/write operation.

Caution Possible equipment damage: Follow the procedures described in Moving the Robot on page 124. Failing to do so could damage the hand.

Make sure you do not touch any electronic components on the hand assembly. The components could easily be damaged.

To remove a cartridge from the hand:

1.Rotate the Z-column; move the hand until it is facing the front door.

2.Push on the back of the reach mechanism (as shown in Figure 35 on page

128)until the gripper is extended to its full position.
