Safety The following pages describe common practices concerning electrical safety, ergonomics, rack installation, fiber optics, and electrostatic discharge. ■ Safety Precautions WARNING: Potential injury: On-the-job safety is important; therefore, observe the following safety precautions while you are engaging in any maintenance activity. Failing to follow these precautions could result in serious injury. Remove all conductive jewelry, such as watches and rings, before you service powered-on equipment.
Lifting Techniques Lifting, regardless of how much or how little, can create serious back stress. If you follow these guidelines, you can reduce the risk of back injury: • Do not twist your body to pick up something or to put it down. Twisting puts extreme pressure on your back, especially when you lift or carry objects. Instead of twisting, make the task two separate moves; first lift, and then use your feet to turn your body.
■ Rack Safety and Precautions WARNING: Possible personal injury: • Lifting hazard: The library weighs 63.5 kg (140 lb) plus the weight of the drives. With all of the drives and power supplies installed, the weight is 122.5 kg (270 lb). Use at least two people and a mechanical device to lift and position the library. Make sure you read the information in “Lifting Techniques” on page xx before beginning. • Also consider the library’s total weight when you are placing other equipment into the rack.
■ Fiber-optic Safety WARNING: Eye hazard. Never look directly into a fiber-optic cable, a fiber-optic connector, or a laser transceiver module. Hazardous conditions might exist from laser power levels that are capable of causing injury to the eye. Be especially careful when using optical instruments with this equipment. Such instruments might increase the likelihood of eye injury. The laser transceivers in fiber-optic equipment can pose dangers to personal safety.
Fiber-optic Cable Installation Follow these guidelines when you install fiber-optic cables: 1. Cable routing: • Raised floor: You may install fiber-optic cables under a raised floor. Route them away from any obstruction, such as existing cables or other equipment. • Cable tray or raceway: Place the cables in position; do not pull them through the cable tray. Route the cables away from sharp corners, ceiling hangers, pipes, and construction activity.
• Keep cables away from sharp edges or sharp protrusions that could cut or wear through the cable; make sure that cutouts in the equipment have protective edging. • Protect the cable from extreme temperature conditions. • Install the connector’s protective cover whenever the connector is not connected.
• Periodically check the electrical resistance of the ground cord and the wrist-strap coil cord. Note: The ground cord should measure less than 1.2 MΩ, and the coil cord should measure between 0.8 and 1.2 MΩ. Repair or replace the cords if they no longer meet these requirements. ESD-Protection Procedure Remember that each customer environment is different. Address all the customer’s concerns before you work on any equipment. Prepare the Work Area 1.
9. Place the defective component in the ESD-protective package. Clean Up 10. Disconnect the ground cords from the equipment. 11. Reinstall all equipment covers and close all equipment doors. 12. Disconnect the coil cord from your wrist, and, if necessary, disconnect the ground cord from the work surface. 13. Properly store the work surface and the other Field Service Grounding Kit items.
General Information 1 This chapter introduces the library, its components, and specifications. See Appendix A, “Principles of Operation” for more specific information. The library is a self-contained, fully automated cartridge tape storage system that holds one to eight drives. The library can have 40, 60, or 80 cell capacities.

Robot ■ Robot The robot (see Figure 1-8) moves cartridges among the storage cells, drives, and CAP. The robot, behind the front door, consists of the: • • • Theta for lateral movement Z drive for vertical movement Hand to mount and dismount cartridges Most of the components are mounted on the Z shaft. The hand, mounted on the Z carriage, moves up, down, and around the shaft to access the cells, drives, and CAP.
Cartridge Access Port ■ Cartridge Access Port The CAP is on the bottom right side of the front of the library. The CAP contains a removable magazine with five storage cells. The operator can leave the magazine in the CAP and place cartridges into the cells, or remove the magazine, fill or empty the cells outside of the library, and place the magazine back into the CAP location. The operator uses the CAP to add cartridges to the library without interrupting normal robotic command operation.
Power System Overview ■ Power System Overview The library has two standard power supplies. You can order and install two additional power supplies to provide redundant power to the library and drives. Plug each power supply into a separate circuit to provide redundant power. Each supply has a switch. All switches must be in the ON position during normal operation. • • The ON position is —. The OFF position is O. See “Power System” on page A-3 for more information.

Restoring Operation ■ Restoring Operation Perform the applicable steps to make sure the library is ready for operation: 1. Make sure you installed and properly seated all the cards. 2. Make sure you installed all the cables and tightened all the connectors. 3. Make sure you secured all the cable strain reliefs. 4. Look in the library for loose parts, connectors, and tools. 5. Make sure you fully retracted the hand reach mechanism. 6. Close and lock the doors. 7.

Library HVD to LVD Conversion 5 The LLC card supports both high voltage differential (HVD) and low voltage differential (LVD) operation. For some applications, such as when using a Fibre Channel router, you must have the applicable jumper and cable on the LLC card in the LVD position. To determine your current setting: 1. Remove all the screws attaching the electronics module to the frame. 2. Use the handle to pull the electronics module out until you can access the LLC card. 3.
5. Slide the electronics module back into the frame. 6. Attach the electronics module to the frame with the screws. Figure 5-1. LLC Card Jumper Location (L201_371) 1.

Principles of Operation A This appendix provides information about the components and operation of the library. ■ Initialization Sequence Initialization, also called an initial program load (IPL), occurs when you power-on the library, or when you press the RESET button.
Initialization Sequence Cell Audit An audit is the process of checking each cell within a library. If a cell contains a cartridge, the camera reads the volume number and transfers this data to the LLC card. The LLC card calculates the robotic position of the hand assembly (by referencing the theta and Z positions) and catalogs the cartridge location by: • • Volume number SCSI element number and panel, row, column If a cell is empty, the location is recorded as “cell empty.
Card Locations and Functions Hand Init Testing The hand assembly is calibrated at the bottom of the first column. The reach carriage assembly extends to test for proper operation. ■ Card Locations and Functions The following table lists the cards, their locations and their functions. The LLC card is the only card that is a field replaceable unit. Table A-1. Card Locations and Functions Card Location Function LLC Electronics module Processor card. Maintains robot, servo, vision control.
Robot • If a power supply fails, the LLC card posts and error to the fault symptom code (FSC) log. The Hardware Monitor menu on the library operator panel also shows which power supply has failed. To power-off the library, turn off the two input line switches,. If you are replacing a power supply, turn off only that corresponding switch and do not turn off the input line switches. Power supply voltages are listed in Table A-2. Table A-2. AC Power Supply Voltage Uses 3.
LLC Card If the motor fails to lock into correct position, the LLC card posts an FSC to the operator panel and the FSC log. Z Drive Assembly The Z drive assembly is composed primarily of the Z shaft, ±12 V motor, pulleys, and drive belt. The Z drive, controlled by the LLC card, moves the hand vertically within the library. Like the theta, a closed-loop servo feedback configuration controls Z positioning. The Z drive operates the same as the theta, described above.
LLC Card When the firmware receives a move command, the code calculates move profiles specifying position, velocity, and acceleration at a given point in time for each mechanism involved. From this profile, along with position feedback from the motor, firmware determines the current needed in the motor to effect the desired position. The motor encoder, along with decode circuitry on the card, provides position feedback.
