Introduction
About this Manual
This manual describes the procedure for replacing the transport tray assembly in a
Spectra 20K library and how to configure and calibrate the assembly after it has been
installed.
About the Transport Tray Assembly
The transport tray assembly in Spectra 20K libraries moves within the robotic rack
assembly. Its job is to transport tape cartridges between the tape drives, tape slots, and
the entry/exit (E/E) port. The main component of the transport tray assembly is the
robotic picker, which handles the tape cartridges. The robotic picker has arms that
grab and hold one tape cartridge at a time while it travels along the transport tray. A
bar code reader located on the robotic picker reads the bar code label on each tape
cartridge to ensure accuracy.
Estimated Time Required
This procedure should take about one and one-half hours.
