9. Standing at the right side of the module, remove the end of the spooling cable that connects
to the robotic assembly from its cradle.
10. Place the spooling cable into the grooves where it attaches to the robotic assembly and rotate
until it snaps into place.
TIP: If the end of the spooling cable drops into the module, unlock the robotic assembly,
remove it from the module, return the end of the spooling cable to its cradle, return the robotic
assembly to its previous position in the module, relock the robotic assembly, and repeat the
procedure.
After the robotic assembly and spooling mechanism installation
1. Push the left magazine back into the module until it locks into place.
2. 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.
3. Slide the module into the rack.
4. If there are no adjacent modules, tighten the front captive thumbscrews with your fingers.
5. If there are adjacent modules:
a. Loosen the thumbscrews on the alignment mechanisms that you previously unlocked.
b. Lower the alignment mechanisms. If you encounter resistance, adjust the upper module
so the pin in the alignment mechanism moves into the hole in the lower module. When
the alignment mechanism is in the locked position, tighten the thumbscrew with your
fingers.
c. Tighten the front captive thumbscrews with your fingers on all of the modules that had
been loosened.
d. Reconnect the expansion interconnect cables.
6. Reconnect the Ethernet, SAS, and Fibre Channel cables to the base module.
7. Reconnect the power supply cables to the base module.
8. Pack the failed robotic assembly and spooling mechanism to return to HP.
