Replacement

Abstract

The robotic assembly and spooling mechanism are

mandatory customer self repair parts. HP customer self repair

(CSR) programs allow you to repair your StoreEver product.

If a CSR part needs replacing, HP ships the part directly to

you so that you can install it at your convenience. For more

information about CSR, contact your local service provider.

*QU625-96303*

HP Part Number: QU625-96303

Published: June 2013

Edition: 1

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.

CAUTION: You must power off the library to

install or replace these parts or damage will

occur.

NOTE: The base module is the module

containing the OCP (operator control panel).

Overview

To replace the robotic assembly and spooling

mechanism from the base module, you will:

1. Power off the library using the power button on

the front of the base module and verify that the

robot is parked in the base module.

2. Remove cables from the base module.

3. Extend the module from the rack and remove the

library cover plate, if present.

4. Remove the robotic assembly and spooling

mechanism.

5. Install the new spooling mechanism and robotic

assembly.

6. Return the module to the rack, realign with

adjacent modules, and reattach all cables.

7. Power on the library.

8. Verify the installation.

9. Pack the failed robotic assembly and spooling

mechanism for return to HP.

You will need a small flat head or Torx screwdriver.

Powering off the library

1. If replacing a failed OCP, use the RMI to 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 OCP.

2. Unlock the left magazine using the OCP or RMI.

You will need to partially extend the left magazine

for the spooling mechanism removal and

replacement. While logged in as an administrator,

tap Open Magazine, tap Unlock in the left

Loosen the front captive thumbscrews two full turns on the adjacent expansion modules. b. On the back of the base module and the module above (if present), loosen the thumbscrews on the alignment mechanisms, move the alignment mechanisms into the unlocked position, and retighten the thumbscrews. c.

Standing at the front of the module, unlock the robot by moving the blue lever to the left, then toward you, then to the right. Place your fingers into the large holes on the robotic assembly and pull up slowly. 7. NOTE: The robotic assembly will offer resistance. Lift the robotic assembly no faster than 12 mm (0.

If the robotic assembly is not aligned properly or you push too hard or too quickly, damage to the robotic assembly and the module may occur. The robotic assembly is shipped with the robot in the unlocked position. Verify that it is unlocked.

Push the left magazine back into the module until it locks into place. Replace the top cover on the base module if you removed one. Align all tabs on the cover with the slots on the module, gently push it down, and then slide the cover toward the back of the module until the spring lock engages. Slide the module into the rack.
