Operating in Manual Mode
■ Operating in Manual Mode
The following pages contain operations you can perform when the LSM is in
manual mode.
Before starting any of these operations, you must take precautions against
electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Note: Even a small electrostatic discharge could damage an electrical
component inside the library. A damaged component might not fail
immediately, but over time, it will become worse, possibly causing an
intermittent problem.
Entering the LSM
To safely enter the LSM:
1. Place the LSM offline.
The LSM operator panel displays OFFLINE when the LSM is offline and not
performing automated operations.
CAUTION:
LOSS OF MOUNT REQUESTS. If you open the lock access door (LAD)
when the LSM is online, a switch is activated which automatically
causes a software interrupt and stops the robot. MAKE SURE THE LSM
IS OFFLINE BEFORE OPENING THE LAD.
2. Open the LAD as shown in Figure 3-11 on page 3-18 and Figure 3-12 on
page 3-19.
The LSM operator panel displays DO NOT ENTER.
3. Insert the key and unlock the latch.
4. Pull the paddle handle to release the door latches and open the access
door.
5. Turn the key to the locked position, remove the key, and shut the LAD.
This action locks the access door in the open position.
• The panel displays SAFE TO ENTER.
• The lights turn on inside the LSM.
