Prepare for Maintenance
For all of the libraries, make sure that you address the requirements in this
chapter to prepare for the maintenance procedure.
ESTIMATED TIME TO COMPLETE
Replacing the transporter requires 30 to 45 minutes, depending on whether
the right-hand side of the library is accessible. This time estimate includes
the time required to initialize and test the transporter after the installation
is complete.
ENSURE ESD PROTECTION
The repair environment for the library must be free of conditions that
could cause electrostatic discharge (ESD). To protect the library from ESD,
follow these procedures when repairing or testing the library:
Place a static protection mat on the work surface used while removing
and installing library components. Use a 1-megohm resistor to ground
the static protection mat.
Wear a static protection wrist band whenever you handle library
components that have been removed from their antistatic bags. Connect
this wrist band to the static protection mat or to other suitable ESD
grounding.
Keep all components in anti-static bags when not in use.
