CAUTION: This library contains very sensitive electrical components.
It is important to follow the proper procedures to prevent electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Use wrist-grounding straps and antistatic mats when removing
and replacing cards and major assemblies.
Failure to follow proper procedures could lead to intermittent failures
or premature hard failure.
CAUTION: The Fibre Channel printed circuit boards may contain a laser
system (GBIC or GLM module) that is classified as a "Class I Laser
Product" under a US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
Radiation Performance standard according to the Radiation Control for Health
and Safety Act of 1968 and EN60825-1(+ALL) safety of laser products. The
compliance statement is located on the module.
Removing a Card
Review the LEDs on the back of each card to ensure there is no activity
on the card (see "Library LEDs").
Note the library front panel configuration settings (if you will be replacing
the controller card).
Main Menu -> Information -> View Configuration
From the View Configuration menu, select the desired library function
to view current information about the following:
Password enabled status
Network access configuration
Mailslot configuration
SCSI ID assignments or Fibre Channel status
Save SCSI element reserve after a power cycle
Other configuration options (report recovered error logs and prevent media
access).
Power off the library. Do not remove cards while the library is powered
on.
Note how the library is connected and the placement of the card, and then
remove all external cables attached to the card.
Loosen the two thumbscrews on the card.
Remove the card by gently pulling it outward.
Replacing a Card
Align the edges of the replacement card with the card slot.
Gently push, on the lower portion, of the replacement card and slide it
into the library until the card is flush with the library.
NOTE: If the new card has a different version of
firmware than the rest of the library, the library could go into a partial
availability state due to a firmware mismatch. When this occurs, the
front panel will display Partly Available, and the LED bar beneath the
front panel display will be solid amber. This is not an indication of
a failure, but indicates that you need to download new library firmware.
NOTE: If you are replacing a controller card, all of your configuration
settings will be lost. You will need to reconfigure your library using
the Factory Default Configuration Settings.
