Introduction

The NEO 8000e architecture can be expanded by adding second library unit. A Horizontal

Robotics Assembly (HRA) is installed inside the two connected NEO 8000e libraries to

enable the robotics in each of the individual libraries to exchange cartridges by means of a

pass-through system. This results in a system that integrates the robotics of the individual

units into a single high-performance library robotics system.

IMPORTANT: Overland Storage recommends that the Horizontal Robotics Assembly be

installed by an Overland Storage authorized service provider. Improper installation may result

in damage to this part or the library components which would void all existing warranties.

Installation Process Overview

Described below are the major steps required to install the HRA in your NEO 8000e system.

Unless otherwise noted, all hardware is included in the HRA kit.

NOTE: Always retain any screws removed during this procedure. They will be reused to reinstall

the appropriate components.

Step 1: Pre-Installation Processes

•Conduct the Site Survey to verify space and distance requirements.

•Verify that the minimum firmware level is installed.

•Remove various panels and drawers to enable easy access inside the libraries.

Step 2: Prepare the Libraries

•Confirm the intermediate cable channels are cut to allow room for the HRA.

•Install the Mounting Bracket assemblies for the HRA.

•If needed, install new Mail Slot Printed Wiring Assembly (PWA) board.

•Add motor wiring harnesses and signal cables to both libraries for the HRA.

Step 3: Connect the Libraries

•Attach and level the two library units.

•Complete the routing of the wiring.

Step 4: Install the HRA

•Install the HRA in the combined library units and connect the wiring.

•Run cables from the VIA router to the Master and Slave Library Controller cards.

•Replace all components removed for internal access.
