Replacing the library controller (SL48)
This process applies to the SL48 only. In this process you will:
• Record the Library settings.
• Power off the Library, unplug the power cord, and remove the Ethernet cable.
• Remove the old library controller.
• Install the new library controller.
• Verify the replacement.
CAUTION:
Parts can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Keep parts in electrostatic containers until needed. Ensure that you are properly grounded when touching static‐sensitive components.
CAUTION:
This part is not hot‐pluggable. You must power down the Library to replace the library controller.
To replace the library controller:
1. Record the Libraryʹs settings by writing down the values displayed in the OCP or the RMI.
2. Power off the Library from the front panel. Remove the Ethernet cable, if applicable.
3. Loosen the two captive thumbscrews on the library controller and remove it from the Library, as shown in Figure 104).
4. Position the new library controller on the alignment rails and slide it into the Library until it is flush with the back panel, as shown in Figure 105. Tighten the two blue thumbscrews to secure the card to the Library.
5. Replace the Ethernet cable, if applicable. Power on the Tape Library.
6. Confirm that the Library recognized the new library controller by checking the System Status on the front panel, as shown in Figure 106.
7. Restore the previous settings by manually entering them in the OCP or RMI.
8. If necessary, upgrade the Library and drive firmware using the RMI or a USB flash drive.
