Operating the Service Safety Door
Servicing the Library 17-3
In the unlikely event that someone becomes locked inside the library and the system
begins to turn on, lights flash for 30 seconds before the robot starts to move. This
provides enough time for someone outside the library to push the emergency robotic
stop switch.

Manually Mounting or Dismounting a Cartridge
Refer to the drive documentation before manually mounting a cartridge.
1. Record the volume ID, cartridge location, and drive slot provided by the library
management software.
2. Locate the drive ("Viewing Library and Device Reports with the Reports Utility"
on page 14-1). L
3. Locate the cartridge ("Locating Cartridges" on page 10-2).
4. Orient the cartridge so that the hub gear is facing down and the vol-id label is
facing you.
5. Push the cartridge into the drive. Do not force the cartridge. If you feel some
resistance as you insert the cartridge, verify that you are inserting the correct
cartridge type for the drive.
6. To dismount the drive, press the UNLOAD switch on the front of the drive.
If the cartridge does not eject, refer to the drive documentation.
Operating the Service Safety Door
You can use the SLC to monitor the status of the safety door (see "Viewing Device
Status and Properties" on page 13-2).
The safety door is a sliding barrier that temporarily closes off the left or right area
between the front door and the rear of the elevator assembly. Service representatives
can activate the service safety door with a maintenance key. With the safety door in
place, a service representative can open the front door to access a faulty robot without
bringing the library offline.
Caution: Keep your hands clear of the drive’s mechanical and
electronic components.
