PROBLEM OVERVIEW: How To Remove/Replace a Base Module Chassis CRU In the StorageTek SL150 Modular Tape Library
WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE
RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?: Offline to the host
WHAT ACTION DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE:
To Remove The Base Module CRU From The Rack
1.Power off the library via the Web GUI and use the option enabled to prepare the robot for removal so that the robot ends up being in the parked position. If the Web GUI is not available please see the How to Park the Robot Manually procedure at the bottom of this document.
Note – It is critical for the robot to be in the parked position.
2.Reposition the robot lock (loosen the thumbscrew, remove the mechanism, rotate the mechanism 180 degrees, insert the mechanism, and tighten the thumbscrew).
Note – Make sure the locked padlock icon is visible.
3.Remove all modules below the base module if applicable
4.Remove reusable parts from the base module and set them aside:
a.Magazines
b. Front Control Panel
c. Robot
Note – Make sure to remove the Ethernet and USB cables from the robot before removing it.
d. Tape drives
e. Tape drive filler
f. Power supplies
g. Power supply filler
5.Remove screws securing the base module to the front of the rack.
Caution – The base module weighs approximately 12.8 kg (28.3 pounds) without magazines, tape drives, power supplies, or the robot CRU.
6.Extract the module from the rack.
To Install The New Base Module CRU Into The Rack
1.Install the module CRU:
a. Grasp the base module along the side and lift it until the back is above the
rack rails.
b. Guide the module into the rack and set the rear side-tabs on the rack rails
c. Push the module into the rack to engage the bottom and middle side tabs.
Note – If you can not engage the rails properly, remove the base module and adjust the rails. Never bend the tabs to engage a rail.
d. Push the module into the rack until the front side-tabs approach the front of
the rack rails.
e. Lift the module up slightly, push it into the rack, and set the front tabs down
on the rack rail.
2.Secure to rack with screws (put one in a few turns then the other screw and tighten both).
3.Replace common parts, as applicable:
a.Robot
b. Tape drives
c. Tape drive filler
d. Power supplies (However, do not connect the power supply cable at this time)
e. Power supply filler
f. Front control panel
4.Install the expansion module, if applicable, and repeat as necessary until all modules are in place.
5.Install the library floor in the bottom module
6.Install cartridge magazines in all modules.
7.Connect, Align, dress, and secure the library and drive cables in the hook and loop straps (Ethernet, FC/SAS, USB).
8.Connect the power cord to each installed power supply.
9.Power On the SL150 library with the power button on the front of the library.
How to Park the Robot Manually:
1.Remove the top tape drive from the base module.
2.Locate the bullwheel gear above the top drive slot.
3.Place your finger in an indent on the body of the bullwheel gear.
4.Turn the gear clockwise to raise the robot.
Note – Assume that the 12 o’clock position is toward the front control panel.
5.Hold the bullwheel gear with the robot fully raised until the robot is locked.
6.Reposition the robot lock (loosen the thumbscrew, remove the mechanism, rotate the mechanism 180 degrees, insert the mechanism, and tighten the thumbscrew).
