Considerations

(continued next page)

It is recommended that all tapes are removed from drives by customer before

procedure to avoid potential stuck tapes after power-up

If library is installed in a rack, you must have full access to left side of library,

otherwise library must be removed from rack and placed on sturdy and level

work surface with access to power

oIf removal of library from rack is not feasible, contact Spectra Technical Support

for alternate methods of performing this procedure

Use facility-approved safe method to move library into/out of rack. Work

surface must safely support weights noted below:

T200 T380 T680

Max. Library Weight (Lbs./Kg) 428/194 627/285 1,211/549

Spectra recommends exporting all TeraPacks via TAP prior to removing library

from rack

Considerations

(continued)

If library is removed from rack with TeraPacks remaining in library:

oBefore power up, verify all TeraPacks are correctly positioned in all

chambers

TeraPacks must be flush with end of plastic guide rails on shelves

Guide rails and bottom of TeraPacks have molded-in detents to assist

in positioning TeraPacks correctly in chambers

Incorrectly positioned TeraPacks can result in damage to robotics

and/or media

Do not use alcohol to clean ANY sensor in library - damage to sensor will result

Procedure Overview

(continued next page)

1. Power library off using front panel power button, disconnect all library power

cables from rear of library

2. Remove left side bottom service access panel

Remove screws, pull upward on panel to remove it

3. Remove top service panels

T200/T380: 2 panels

T680: 3 panels

4. Holding sides (only) of VAX column and centered vertically on column, pull VAX

column towards you until it rests against hard stop on library chassis.

5. Verify horizontal slot in top HAX rod coupler is not obstructed by either top or

bottom sections of HAX rod. This can be done visually or by sliding a business card

through slot

6. If coupler slot is obstructed by either top or bottom section of HAX rod

Using a 7/64” Allen wrench, loosen both coupler screws

Slide coupler up/down as required so slot is not obstructed

oTighten top coupler screw only - bottom screw to remain loose

Lower rod must rotate freely and independently of top rod

7. If slot is NOT obstructed by either top or bottom section of HAX rod

Using a 7/64” Allen wrench, check/confirm top coupler screw is tight

Loosen bottom coupler screw

oLower rod must rotate freely and independently of top rod

8. While gripping sides of VAX column at vertical center, firmly pull column towards

you until it rests against BOTH top and bottom hard stops on library chassis

Tighten bottom coupler screw

Check/confirm top coupler screw tight

9. Release VAX column and push column into library a few inches.

10. While gripping sides of VAX column at vertical center, firmly pull column towards

you until it rests against both top and bottom hard stops on library chassis, then

release column

Column should remain in contact with both top and bottom hard stops

If column moves away from either or both hard stops, loosen bottom coupler

screw (only) and repeat alignment Steps 7 - 10

oIf after 2 alignment attempts, column still moves away from either hard stop

when released, contact Spectra Technical Support

11. Reconnect library power cables

Risk of injury, do not place any part of your body into library with service

panels removed and library power cables connected

12. Power on library and observe robotics initialization. As part of initialization

sequence, robotics will scan a set of predetermined shelf flags

Shelf flag - rectangular flat vertical surface on end of plastic TeraPack guide rail

attached to metal shelving in library

13. If robotics makes multiple attempts at scanning any individual shelf flag, this may

indicate a potential problem, perform following steps

Procedure Overview

(continued)

Power off library using front panel power button

Disconnect all library power cables from rear of library

Using a lint-free and alcohol-free cloth, clean both shelf flag sensors on

transporter (one sensor faces front of library, the other faces rear)

Verify all shelves in library are installed correctly

Verify all TeraPack guide rails are installed correctly

If robotics continues to exhibit this behavior, contact Spectra Technical Support

14. Reconnect power cables, power on library using front panel power button

15. Log in as superuser or administrator

16. From toolbar menu, select

Maintenance > Diagnostics > VAX Column Alignment Test, then Run Diagnostic

17. Results of diagnostic will be displayed on screen

18. If result is “Success,” proceed to step 20

19. If result is “Failed”

Power off library, disconnect all power cables from rear of library

Repeat steps 7 - 11

Rerun alignment diagnostic

If after 2 alignment attempts, diagnostic test still indicates “Failed”, contact

Spectra Technical Support

20. Power off library, replace service access panels (starting top to bottom)

21. Re-install library into rack (if removed)

22. Create an Auto-support Log File (ASL) and forward to Spectra Technical Support
