Goal

 How to replace the Library Controller (LOC) card.

Solution

 DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS
- WHAT SKILLS DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED?: Familiar with the SL4000 library.
- TIME ESTIMATE: 15 minutes
- TASK COMPLEXITY: 1

FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR INSTRUCTIONS:
- PROBLEM OVERVIEW: Library Controller card has been determined defective and requires replacement
- WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?: The library must be taken offline to the system and then powered off.
- WHAT ACTION DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE?:

Note: Refer to the SL4000 Install and Service Manual for additional details as needed.

IMPORTANT:
You can only install a newly kick-started controller card as a FRU replacement. DO NOT install a card that has previously been installed in a library (as a feature card or library controller)

Required Tools
ESD protection

Removal
You must cold-swap non-redundant library controllers.
1. Take the library offline.
2. Turn the library OFF (see "Power Off the Library" on page 3-4).

Caution:
Electronics in the card cage are ESD sensitive. Follow all ESD procedures in the SL4000 Safety and Compliance Guide.
IMPORTANT:
You can only install a newly kick-started controller card as a FRU replacement. DO NOT install a card that has previously been installed in a library (as a feature card or library controller).

3. Locate the faulty library controller (see "Base Card Cage Component Locations" on page 4-11).
4. Label and then remove any cables connected to the LOC card.
5. Pinch and pull the release levers. Remove the card (see "Removing a Quick Release Component" on page 4-9).
6. Place the card in an ESD-protective envelope.

Replacement
1. Insert the new card (see "Installing a Quick Release Component" on page 4-10).
2. Replace any cables that you disconnected from the old card.
3. Turn ON the library (see "Power On the Library" on page 3-5). It will take about 90 minutes to process the new library controller card. The library should come back up with the same version of code and configuration as before the failure.

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE
- WHAT ACTION DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE?: Power the library back on and place online after initialization.  Verify functionality of the library.
