HINWEIS Nach Ausschalten des Stroms muß die Bedienperson 1 Sekunde warten, bevor der Strom wieder eingeschaltet werden darf. WECHSELSTROMERDUNG Um einen sicheren Betrieb zu gewährleisten, muß das Gehäuse des LF 6600 geerdet sein. Das Wechselstromkabel enthält eine Erdleitung, die das Gehäuse des LF 6600 durch die Wechselstromversorgung des Standorts an Sicherheitserde legt. Die Wechselstromversorgung des Standorts wiederum muß diese Erdung an einen Erdanschluß legen.
VORSICHT Die Frontblende ist etwas größer als das Gehäuse. Wenn das Laufwerk auf eine flache Oberfläche gestellt wird, sollte das vordere Ende des LF 6600 über den Rand der Stützfläche hinausragen, so daß die Frontblende nicht belastet wird. WIEDERVERPACKEN DES LF 6600 Der LF 6600 sollte in seiner Originalverpackung wiederverpackt werden. Schließen Sie die Grundplatten, bevor Sie den LF 6600 einpacken. Halten Sie sich beim Verpacken des LF 6600 an das folgende Verfahren.
EINSETZUNG ERFORDERIS VORSICHT Wenn der LF 6600 in ein Gerätegestell oder -Gehäuse eingebaut ist, stellen Sie sicher, daß die interne Temperatur des Gestells oder Gehäuses die in der Produktspezifikation und dem vorliegenden Handbuch angegebenen Betriebsgrenzen nicht überschreiten. Senkrecht gestapelte Einheiten erfordern spezielle Aufmerksamkeit im oberen Bereich, in dem höhere Temperaturen herrschen.
Isolieren Sie die Einheiten vom Hauptnetz im Falle eines Brandes oder einer anderen Notsituation, indem Sie die Stecker aus den Steckdosen ziehen. Sollte das Herausziehen der Stecker nicht möglich oder praktisch sein, isolieren Sie die Einheiten vom Hauptnetz, indem Sie das Hauptnetz des Systems ausschalten.
3) Lassen Sie das LF 6600-Gehäuse auf die ausgefahrene Gleitplattform herunter, so daß die drei M4-Schraubenköpfe unten am Gehäuse in die drei Richtlöcher auf der Gleitplattform passen (vgl. Abbildung 20). WARNUNG Zum Anheben und Transportieren des LF 6600 sind zwei Personen erforderlich. Der Versuch, den LF 6600 ohne Hilfe einer zweiten Person anzuheben oder zu transportieren, kann zu Personenverletzungen führen.
VORSICHT Stellen Sie sicher, daß der Transportblock aus Schaumstoff von der Wagenvorrichtung entfernt wurde, bevor der LF 6600 eingeschaltet wird. Einschaltverfahren finden Sie in Abschnitt 5 des vorliegenden Handbuchs. ABBAU DER GESTELLMONTAGENKONFIGURATION So bauen Sie die LF 6600-Gestellmontagenkonfiguration ab: 1) Entfernen Sie die Verkleidungsplatte des Gehäuses, indem Sie die Platte oben festhalten und nach außen ziehen. Dieser Vorgang befreit die Kugelbolzen aus den Ankerlöchern (vgl.
EINSTELLEN DIE "READ OPTION" VORSICHT Die Option "Read ahead" ist systemabhängig. Setzen Sie sich mit Ihrem Systemanalytiker in Verbindung, bevor Sie diese Option einstellen. ANZEIGEN DER DIAGNOSEERGEBNISSE ODER DURCHFÜHREN VON DIAGNOSEVERFAHREN VORSICHT Da die Initialisierungsvariablen nicht wiederhergestellt werden können, nachdem sie gelöscht wurden, sollte dieser Vorgang nur von einem ausgebildeten Ingenieur des Kundendienstes durchgeführt werden.
VORSICHT Zur Vermeidung einer Beschädigung der Datenträger wird dringendst empfohlen, die in der Spezifikation für LM 6000-Datenträger (Bestellnr. 97647044) angegebenen Umgebungsbeschränkungen sorgfältig zu beachten. 7) Die Datenträgerkassette nicht extremen Temperaturen aussetzen. 8) Die Datenträgerkassette eine Stunde Betriebstemperaturbereich stabilisieren. vor Gebrauch auf den angegebenen 9) Die Zugangsabdeckung des Datenträgers nicht öffnen.
AUSWECHSELN VON SICHERUNGEN Wie in Abschnitt 2.6. des vorliegenden Handbuchs dargestellt, sind zwei Sicherungen und zwei Ersatzsicherungen in die Netzbuchse an der Geräterückseite des LF 6600 eingebaut (vgl. Abbildung 53). Wenn sich das Laufwerk nicht einschalten läßt, könnte eine oder beide Sicherungen durchgebrannt sein. So tauschen Sie eine durchgebrannte Sicherung gegen eine Ersatzsicherung aus: 1) Stellen Sie den Wechselstromschalter des Laufwerks auf AUS (0), und ziehen Sie das Netzkabel ab.
5) Halten Sie die Kassettenklappe geöffnet, während Sie die Datenträgerplatte drehen und reinigen. 6) Wischen Sie die Plattenoberfläche mit einem fusselfreien Tuch (das mit Glasreiniger befeuchtet wurde) ab, beginnen Sie dabei in der Mitte und arbeiten Sie sich an den äußeren Rand vor. Nur der Teil der Oberfläche, der bei geöffneter Kassettenklappe sichtbar ist, kann bei jedem Durchgang gereinigt werden. Achten Sie darauf, daß alle Teile der Platte gereinigt werden.
