7 Repeat these steps for each 9U Library Expansion Module you are installing.
Installing the 5U Library Control Module
Install the 5U control module as follows:
1 Open the 5U Library Control Module's I/E station door and access door.
2 Lift the 5U Library Control Module and place it in the desired location.
3 If stacking the 5U Library Control Module on top of another module, secure the two modules together by tightening the
two thumbscrews at the base of the front of the module and the two thumbscrews located at the base of the back of
the module. Then lower the module's guide pin (located at the base of the front of the module) by turning it and
pushing it down.
4 Tighten all thumbscrews located at the base of the front and back of the modules.
5 Use the rack ears to fasten the 5U Library Control Module to the rack.
6 If not already installed, install the library control blade (LCB) in the 5U Library Control Module. See Removing and
Replacing the Library Control Blade and LCB Compact Flash Card for instructions on installing the LCB.
Preparing to Use the Multi-Module Library
Prepare the library for use as follows:
1 Unpark the robot assembly.
a Gently raise the robot assembly so that it no longer rests on the parking tab.
Caution: Support the robot assembly by holding onto the broad metal X-axis plate. Lifting the robot by the thin
metal rod will bend the rod. Lifting the robot by the black plastic picker body can damage the robot.
b With your free hand, move the parking tab in a clockwise direction until it stops in the "unparked" position. When
in the correct position, the parking tab is removed completely from the interior of the module and will not
accidentally swing into the path of the robot.
c Gently release the robot assembly. It will lower to the bottom module of the library.
