The half-cell/supply mobile cart cabinet has a metal frame which houses the SPC boards. Many of
the cables connect the components of the system. The frame is not field repairable and must be
replaced if it is damaged. The wireway on the right side of any cabinet in a half-cell/supply mobile
cart is removable. The SPC boards contained on the wireways are also replaceable.
Perform the shutdown procedures before starting any service. Replace the wireway by generally
performing the removal procedure in reverse. Perform the restart steps after the wireway has been

a. Remove items from the shelf.
b. Remove the standard shelf. Refer to “Shelf Removal” on page 3-1.
3. Insert the pull-out shelf into the frame.
Make sure that the tabs on the back of the assembly slide completely into the slots on the back
of the frame.
4. Insert mounting screws (one on each side) using a Torx T15 screwdriver.
5. Connect the switchpanel cable to the wireway.
6. Replace the connector covers.
To remove the pull-out shelf, generally perform the installation steps in reverse.
There are two types of switchpanels. One type is used with shelves (standard/pull-out), The other
type is used with a supply drawer. Switchpanels are used to identify specific items in the cabinet.
When a user selects an item from the screen display, the proper switchpanel LEDs light up to
indicate product location.
Switchpanels can be removed (and relocated) with its corresponding drawer or shelf. They can be
switched from shelf to shelf or drawer to drawer. However, switchpanel types cannot be mixed
between a shelf and a drawer.
The cabinet must be shut down to safely remove switchpanels and their cables. Switchpanels are
replaced by generally performing the removal procedures in reverse. See “Shelf Installation” on
page 3-4. Perform the restart steps after the service is completed.

Introduction
Tools List
The following tools are required to remove or install a switchpanel:
There are two types of drawers, one for pharmacy and one for supplies. Each type has multiple
modules for varying degrees of security.
Supply Drawers
Supply drawers are used to store items that are frequently used and require little security. The
available models are:
Drawers 6-1
Introduction
Omnicell Matrix Drawer (OMD) is a drawer without lids. Drawer space is configured into a
matrix of storage areas with dividers and drawer liners. The maximum number of storage areas
(or bins) is 96.
Omnicell Lighted Matrix Drawer (OLMD) is similar to the drawer above, but with guiding
light technology. LEDs are used to direct users to the proper supplies location. The lit matrix
drawer can be configurable for up to 24 bins.
Pharmacy Drawers
Pharmacy drawers have more security. They are designed to store low security medications or
high security narcotics. The available modules are:
Omnicell Sensing Lid (OSL) is used for low security medications. As each lid is lifted, the
system senses and records access to the bin. This guarantees security to those drawers that
contain controlled substances.
Omnicell Locking Lid (OLL) has the highest security for storing narcotics. When these high
security drawers are opened, the user can only access the one bin containing the pre-selected
medication. No other bin is unlocked when the user is working in the desired bin. Special
censors provide audible and visual feedback if users attempt unauthorized entry into bins that
are not pre-selected.
Tools List
The following tools may be required to install a drawer:
Each unlit matrix drawer can contain a maximum of 96 bins - 24 in each quadrant. Customers can
utilize the flexibility of this drawer and custom-configure it to meet specific needs and
requirements for the site. As with other matrix drawers, the dividers are designed to be snapped
off, enabling the bins to be custom-configured to fit site-specific needs.
Figure 6-1. Matrix drawer dividers
Dividers must be placed into the drawer in a specific order with each divider in a specific slot, so
Note:
separating the dividers by part number is recommended.
1. Before installing the dividers, ensure that the layout of each drawer has been approved by the
customer.
Note: It is recommended that a drawing be made of each drawer, showing the customer’s preferred
configuration for each quadrant of a given drawer.
2. Break the divider tabs according to the customer design and trim away excess plastic to ensure
a snug fit in the drawer.
3. Add the dividers to the bin liner. The dividers should snap into the bottom of the drawer and
the sides of each bin liner quadrant.
4. Use the gray circular labels provided with the kit to cover any un-used divider slots in the bin
liner.
Each lit matrix drawer can contain a maximum of 24 bins - six in each quadrant. Customers can
utilize the flexibility of this drawer and custom-configure it to meet specific needs and
requirements for the site. As with other matrix drawers, the dividers are designed to be snapped
off, enabling the bins to be custom-configured to fit site-specific needs.
Note:
separating the dividers by part number is recommended.

1. Before installing the dividers, ensure that the layout of each drawer has been approved by the
customer.
Note: It is recommended that a drawing be made of each drawer, showing the customer’s preferred
configuration for each quadrant of a given drawer.
2. Break the divider tabs according to the customer design and trim away excess plastic to ensure
a snug fit in the drawer.
3. Add the dividers to the bin liner. The dividers should snap into the bottom of the drawer and
the sides of each bin liner quadrant.
4. Use the gray circular labels provided with the kit to cover any un-used divider slots in the bin
liner.
5. Insert the light pipes into each notch provided in the dividers. The light pipe is installed on the
rear side of the bin divider and snaps into a slot on the bottom of the bin liner.
Note: Be sure to place a light pipe into every notch, even if the position will not be used for guiding light
purposes. The pipes provide support and help keep the dividers in place.
Numerical bin labels are provided with matrix drawers to make bin identification and restock
easier for the customer.
The bottom of the bin liner on any matrix drawer is numbered according to its type (i.e. 1-96, 124, 1-4). These numbers are used to identify bin locations for the drawer. The drawer will be
numbered by using the lowest number in a specific bin. Using Figure 6-3 as an example, the bin in
the lower right corner of the drawer would be Bin 7, the bin in the upper left corner would be Bin
49, and the bin in the upper right corner would be Bin 85.
Figure 6-3. Matrix drawer labelling system
Once a bin has been configured, label the bin divider to correspond with the bin name corner and
affix the label to the top of the right rear divider of that bin.
Perform the shutdown procedure before servicing any drawers. Remove supply and double-deep
drawers by generally performing the installation steps in reverse. After the service is complete,
follow the restart steps.
Shutdown Procedure
1. Perform a graceful shutdown of the system.
2. Unplug the cabinet from its power source.
