Spectra 10K Library Preventative Maintenance Guide
Caution:
Do not force the carousel out of the library. The base of the
robotic arm is not a circle, and the carousel does not lift straight
up and out. The carousel comes out easily if done correctly, as
outlined in Step 7, below.
7.
Remove the carousel.
a. Lift the carousel up and off the guide pins, about 1/2 inch.
b. Lift the front of the carousel so that it is even with, or a little higher than, the
base of the robotic arm.
c. Move the carousel toward the rear of the library so that the front of the
carousel touches the robotic arm base.
d. Lift the rear of the carousel above the robotic arm base. The carousel should
now be clear of the robotic arm base.
e. Carefully lift the carousel up and out of the library.
8.
Use a static-free vacuum cleaner to remove any debris from the bottom of the library.
9.
Clean the tape guides in the carousel.
10.
After vacuuming, use a can of compressed air to clean the boards, power supply,
components, and any section where a static-free vacuum might not be able to reach.
Caution:
Blow dust and debris
away
from the tape drives.
