ABSTRACT:
According to an embodiment, a method for accessing a cell includes: a first access step of taking out a cartridge from the cell or inserting the cartridge into the cell in an initial stop position; and a second access step of taking out the cartridge from the cell or inserting the cartridge into the cell in one or more positions in the vicinity of the initial stop position until the taking-out or insertion operation succeeds in a case where the first access step has failed.
