Step 2: Install the Library in a Rack (Optional for 5U and 14U) 0

All Scalar i500 libraries taller than 14U must be installed in a rack.The rack secures the

bottom module, and all other modules are then secured to the bottom module. Installing

the modules into the rack requires at least two people. For instructions, see the Scalar i500

User’s Guide.

Step 3: Install the Module(s) 0

There are two possible library configurations:

•Using the Control Module as a Standalone Unit

•Using a Multi-Module Library Configuration

Using the Control Module

as a Standalone Unit 0

1Open the library’s I/E station door and access door.

2Lift the control module and place it in the desired location.

3If you are placing the control module in a rack, use the rack ears to help secure the

control module to the rack. For instructions, see the Scalar i500 User’s Guide.

4Continue installation with Step 4: Install the Module Components on page 10.

Using a Multi-Module

Library Configuration 0

Follow these instructions if you are installing a new multi-module library, or if you are

adding expansion modules to an existing library.

Required tools:

• Phillips #2 screwdriver, for removing and replacing the top cover plate

• T10 TORX screwdriver, for removing and replacing the bottom cover plate

There are no restrictions on where the control module can be installed in the library

configuration. However, the recommended placement of the control module for library

configurations up to 32U is on top of all installed 9U expansion modules. The

recommended placement of the control module for 41U library configurations is on top of

three 9U expansion modules and below the top expansion module. Depending on your

arrangement, you may need to remove and replace top and bottom cover plates on the

Note: If the I/E station door is locked, refer to the Scalar i500 User’s Guide for

unlocking instructions.

modules to ensure there is only one top cover plate and only one bottom cover plate in the

library.

1Park the robot assembly in the control module.

aOpen the I/E station and access doors of each module.

bUsing your hands, gently lift the robot assembly into the control module. The

robot assembly should glide slowly and with some resistance.

cAfter raising the robot assembly to the approximate middle of the control module,

hold it in place with one hand and, using your other hand, move the parking tab

in a counter-clockwise direction until it stops in the “parked” position. The metal

parking tab is located at the bottom of column 1.

dGently lower the robot assembly to rest on the parking tab.

Step 3: Install the Module(s) 7

2Remove top or bottom cover plates if necessary.

There should only be one top cover and one bottom cover plate in the final

configuration. There should be no cover plates in between modules.

3Install the expansion module(s).

aOpen the expansion module’s access door and raise the guide pin by pulling it up

and turning it slightly as if it were a screw. Otherwise, the guide pin may scratch

the front doors of the module on which you are stacking.

bLift the new expansion module and, from the front of the library, place it in the

desired location.

cIf stacking the expansion module on top of another module, lower the module’s

guide pin (located at the base of the front of the module) by turning it and

pushing it down. Then 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.

dTighten all thumbscrews located at the base of the front and back of the modules.

eIf installing in a rack, secure the module in the rack using rack ears. For

instructions, see the Scalar i500 User’s Guide.

fIf stacking the expansion module on top of another module, engage the Y-rails of

the new module in your library configuration. Ensure that the Y-rails are properly

aligned and the thumbscrews are tightened.

gFrom the front of the library, open the I/E station and access doors of the

expansion module. Squeeze the handle of the Y-rail release mechanism, lift it out

of its locked position, and slide it downward as far as it will go.

hFrom the back of the library, find the rear Y-rail release mechanism, which is

located in the interior of the right side of the module. Squeeze the handle of the

Y-rail release mechanism, lift it out of its locked position, and slide it downward

as far as it will go.

Doing this aligns the Y-rails with the Y-rails of the module beneath it.

Caution: Check to make sure that there is no gap between the top and

bottom Y-rails on both the front and back of the library. If a gap

exists, the library cannot mechanically initialize.
