Chapter 4 Library Operation 71

Powering-on the Library

To power-on the library

1. Close and lock the front access door if the doors are open.

Note –

If you DO NOT want to power-on the robots, CAPs, and the elevators, leave the

doors open.

2. Move the system power-off/on switch to ON (1) position.

Note –

If the library has a 2N power configuration, you must switch on the system

power on both the PDUs.

See

FIGURE 4-11 on page 69

and

FIGURE 4-12 on page 70

for detailed illustrations.

Maintenance Mode of Operation

Maintenance mode is active when a service representative enters the access door to

perform maintenance or to replace a component.

An example of this would be the replacement of a defective HandBot when a

redundant or operational HandBot is available. Each HandBot has two motors, if one

fails, the other motor is powerful enough to move the defective HandBot into the

forward service area. If both the motors fail for a HandBot, then the redundant

HandBot moves the defective HandBot into the forward service area thus continuing

HandBot operations. The service representative then requests that the library be made

available for maintenance entry on the side where the HandBot is positioned. The

maintenance key (available only to a service representative) is inserted, a service safety

door moves to the side selected (partitioning the service area from operational library

activity) and the HandBot is replaced.

Note –

The service safety door is not parallel to the front of the library; its right side is

angled toward the rear of the library (see

FIGURE 1-2 on page 4

).

Service Safety Door Operation

During the replacement, the library continues to function. Because there are cartridge

arrays in the forward portion of the Customer Interface Module, these slots are

reserved for diagnostic and cleaning cartridges only. A mount request for a cartridge in

the slot closer to the side (left or right) where the service safety door is engaged may be
