Removing a Cartridge from the Hand
If the LSM experiences a power failure and the empty/dropoff cell is full, a
cartridge might be left in the hand. You can remove it from the hand and
manually mount it into a drive for a read/write operation.
CAUTION:
Follow the procedures described in “Moving the Robot” above. Failing to
do so could damage the hand.
Make sure that you do not touch the TWH card on the hand assembly. It
contains ESD-sensitive components and could be damaged.
To remove a cartridge from the hand:
1. Rotate the Z column:
• If the LSM has an expansion door, move the hand until it is facing the
expansion door location.
• If the LSM has a standard door, move the hand until it is on the left, top
side of the LSM (Panel 0 Column 0).
