How to Remove and Replace a Non-Functional Robot in a SL3000:ATR:1355485.1:2 (Doc ID 1355485.1)

Solution

DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS
- WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED:
Oracle/Storagetek SL3000 Library Knowledge.

- DELIVERY REQUIREMENT:
According to TSC.

- TASK COMPLEXITY: 2

- TIME ESTIMATE: 150 minutes

FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS:
- PROBLEM OVERVIEW
Robot is not functional.

- WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE
RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?
If robot is not in Parking Expantion Module, Customer must halt Tallbot operation by placing the library offline with either ACSLS or HSC.

- WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:
- Perform health check on library via SL Console.
- Verify firmware is at current levels.
- Review error logs to understand actual robotic failure.
- Attempt to place Tallbot back online via SL Console.
- Run SL Console Self Test diagnostic to check functionality.
- Re-initialize robot.
- If not fixed, replace FRU.

Refer to the SL3000 Service Manual for the complete instructions, including pictures, cautions and notes for the removal and replacement of the robot.

To remove a defective TallBot within a Parking Expansion Module, perform the following:

1. Have the operator issue the command to take the library offline.

2. Power-off the HBS assemblies.

3. Open a front access door.

4. Carefully observe how the defective TallBot is installed. Check the following:
   a. The position of the top pre-load rollers inside the top extrusion.
   b. Looking underneath the top extrusion, check the position of the pre-load assembly inside the extrusion.
   c. The position of the lower rollers inside the lower extrusion.
   d. The brush lever that engages the brushes with the power strip.

5. Move the defective TallBot to either Column +1 of the base module or Column -6 of the drive expansion module. These locations allow space at the bottom for removing the lower pre-load assembly of the TallBot.

6. Open the rail brushes by moving the locking lever away from the outer wall.

7. Fully loosen the two T15 captive screws on the upper pre-load assembly.

8. Pull the upper pre-load assembly straight down until it rests on the screw heads.

9. Tilt the TallBot assembly away from the top extrusion.

10. Lift up on the TallBot to remove it from the TallBot's lower pre-load assembly from the extrusion.

11. To exit the library with the TallBot, tilt the bottom out and exit through the access door.

To replace a TallBot assembly:

1. Tilt the bottom of the assembly out and, walking backwards, enter the library with the assembly.

2. Turn the TallBot so that it faces the rear wall.

3. Move the TallBot to either Column +1 of the base module or Column -6 of the drive expansion module. These locations allow space at the bottom for removing the lower pre-load assembly of the TallBot.

4. Insert the bottom pre-load assembly’s rollers into the floor extrusion.

5. Move the top of the TallBot toward the upper extrusion, resting the top rollers.

6. Push up on the upper pre-load assembly to position the lower rollers in the upper portion behind the extrusion.

7. Carefully align the upper pre-load assembly with the upper frame so that there is no gap between the two parts.

8. Holding the pre-load assembly against the upper frame, slowly tighten both T15 captive screws evenly.

9. Move the TallBot back and forth to verify that it moves easily. If it does not, re-check your work or you will damage the brushes.

10. Remove the TallBot’s shipping tape at the pre-load assembly lever and move the lever toward the rear wall to engage the brushes with the power strip.

11. Again move the TallBot back and forth to verify that it moves easily. There will be a small additional amount of drag since the brushes are engaged, but the TallBot must still move easily.

12. Exit the library and close the access door.

13. Power-on the HBS assemblies.

14. Check that the library initializes correctly.

15. Have the operator issue the command to place the library online.

To remove a defective TallBot within an Access Expansion Module, perform the following:

1. Insert the service request key and turn it to the right (clockwise, ON).

2. Check the safety door has begun to move (The WAIT LED will flash).

3. Be sure the safety door has reached the down position (The WAIT LED goes OFF and ENTER LED comes ON).

4. Open the door.

5. Move the TallBot to the end of the module.

6. Follow the procedure removing the TallBot above beginning with step 6.

To replace a TallBot within an Access Expansion Module:

1. Insert the TallBot at the end of the module.

2. Follow the procedure for replacing a TallBot above from step 4.

3. After replacement, close the door.

4. Turn the service request key to the left (counterclockwise) (The WAIT LED will flash and the ENTER LED will go OFF).

5. Check that the door has returned to the stored position (WAIT LED is OFF).

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE
- WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO
AN OPERATIONAL STATE:
Customer should place the library back online with ACSLS or HSC, as required.
