CAUTION: Parts can be damaged by

electrostatic discharge. Keep parts in

electrostatic containers until needed. Ensure you

are properly grounded when touching static

sensitive components.

Identifying the failed component

Using the OCP (operator control panel) or RMI (remote

management interface):

1. Activate the UID (Unit Identification) LEDs from

the Maintenance→UID LED Control screen. This

will illuminate the blue LED on the front and rear

of the base module to identify the library

containing the failed component.

2. Identify the module within the library that contains

the failed component:

a. In the upper left corner of the Home screen,

locate the module that indicates an error.

b. Click or tap the module for information on

the failed component.

NOTE: There are two drive power

boards in each module; the screen will

indicate whether the left or right drive

power board (as seen from the rear of

the library) has failed. On the failed

board itself, the amber LED might be

illuminated and visible through the fan

grating.

Powering off the library

1. Verify that any applications using the library are

idle.

2. Press the power button just below the OCP and

hold for three seconds; the green light will go off.

NOTE: Under normal circumstances, when the

library is powered off using the front power

button the robot automatically parks and locks

into the base module.

Preparing to remove the drive power board

Unplug the AC power cords from the module

containing the failed drive power board.
