PowerVault ML6000 Maintenance Guide 185
Removing the Cable Spool
1 While holding the picker securely in your hand, reach inside the 5U Library Control Module and remove
the cable spool clip from the Y-carriage assembly. Unscrew the thumbscrew that attaches the cable
spool to the Y-carriage assembly, let the picker drop down, and pull the cable spool clip off of the
assembly.
2 Remove the entire robot assembly from the 5U Library Control Module.
To remove the robot assembly, lift the assembly up and out of the top of the 5U Library Control Module.
3 Remove the three tape columns located on the left side of the 5U Library Control Module.
You must remove the tape column located at the front left of the module before removing the other two
tape columns. Remove each column by pulling it forward (toward the front of the library) until it unsnaps
from the chassis wall, and then pull it gently to the center of the library. For more instructions on
removing the columns, see Removing and Replacing Columns
on page 189.
The figure below shows the Model 1 robot assembly and cable spool. If you
are working on a Model 2 robot assembly and cable spool, they will look
slightly different, but the way they attach together is the same.
Do not support the Y-carriage assembly by the thin metal rod. Lifting
the assembly by the thin metal rod will bend the rod.
Tape columns must be replaced in their original locations, because
each column has fiducial indices that help to guide the picker
assembly. Consider labeling the tape columns so you can be sure
that you replace them in their original locations. Otherwise, the
library’s self-test will fail.
