(Figure 1). It works using only two small motors, and it can be integrated with a bar
code scanner.
Estimated Time Required
This procedure should take approximately 30 minutes.

Prepare the Library
1. Exit all programs running on the library’s host computer.
2. Switch off power to the host computer, the library, and any other attached
equipment.
Warning: Electrical shock hazard inside the library can cause injury or
death. Be sure to disconnect AC power to the library before
removing the library’s side panels.
3. Disconnect all cables from the library.
4. Move the library to a location where you have enough room to access all sides of
the library.
Warning: The library is heavy; it weighs approximately 30 pounds. Take
care when moving the library.

Remove the Library’s Side Panels
1. Use the #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the six screws attaching the sides of the
library to the rear panel; there are three screws on each side, each on a tab
connected to the side panel (Figure 2).
Note: During this procedure, take care not to scratch the paint on the
outside of the library.

2. Carefully slide each side panel backward.
• Use one hand to push on the panel from the inside (Figure 3).
• Use one hand to push (and pull) from the outside (Figure 4).
Note: The panels on some white-colored libraries may be difficult to
slide back. If necessary, use a flat head screwdriver to gently pry
the panels back from the rear of the library.
3. Set the side panels aside in a safe place.
4. Proceed to Remove the Old Robotic Picker on page 9.
Figure 3 Push from the inside. Figure 4 Push (and pull) from the outside.
