Moving the Robot

After the tape library doors have been opened, the robot might need to be move to 
make it easier to access the stored cartridges or the tape drives. Read and observe the 
following caution before attempting to move any portion of the robot.

If you need to raise or lower the hand, slowly and carefully move it by placing your 
fingers on the hand-camera assembly.

If you need to rotate the Z column, grasp it and carefully rotate it, as shown in 

 show the locations of the panels, rows, and columns of the cartridge storage 

cells in the tape library. The decal at the top of each column also provides location 
information. To remove a cartridge from a storage cell, slide the cartridge out.

If the tape library loses power, a cartridge might be left in the hand. It can be removed 
from the hand and mounted into a tape drive for a read/write operation.

To remove the cartridge from the hand:

1. Rotate the Z column. Move the hand until it is facing the front door.

To prevent damage to the hand or Z carriage, check that the reach mechanism on 

the hand is fully retracted before moving any part of the robot. Push the gripper mechanism 
into the retracted position. If the tape library goes offline due to a power failure, the reach 
mechanism might be extended into a storage cell or tape drive. If the robot is rotated when this 
condition exists, the hand could be damaged.

Move the Z column and Z carriage only as shown in 

 and 

Take precaution against potential ESD damage by touching gray, unpainted metal before 
reaching into the tape library. Do not touch exposed electrical parts when moving any part of 
the robot.

Follow the procedures described in “

.” Failing to do so could 

damage the hand.

Do not touch any electronic components on the hand assembly. The components could easily 
be damaged.
