Introduction
Library Controller Board
The library controller board contains a single microprocessor and associated logic
devices to control all robotics operations and manage overall library functions. The
microprocessor enables the SCSI interface between the library and the host system.
NOTE:
The SCSI terminator must always be connected to the library controller board for proper
operation when configured as standalone or master.
The library controller board is installed in a card cage at the rear of the library and can
be serviced with using only a #1 Phillips screwdriver (see Figure 1–5).
IMPORTANT:
For MSL5000 series libraries, the library controller board must be installed in the
right slot of the card cage area (upper card cage area for the MSL5052/MSL5060). The
remaining slots on the MSL5000 series libraries do not support the required connections for the
library controller board to operate correctly.
