This document describes how to remove and replace the
Library Controller card in a NEO 2000e or 4000e library.
It is also used for legacy NEO libraries that have been
upgraded to an E-Series.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or
damage to equipment, always remove any power cords
while working with the unit.
AVERTISSEMENT: Pour réduire le risque de choc
électrique ou endommagement de l'équipement, retirez
toujours les cordons électriques en travaillant avec l'appareil.
NOTE: A discharge of static electricity can damage micro-
circuitry. To help prevent Electrostatic Discharge (ESD),
observe standard ESD precautions.
Unpacking the Spare
Carefully unpack and verify that you have all the parts:
•
Library Controller card
•
Five (5) M4x6mm hexhead screws
•
Sixteen (16) M3x6mm flathead Phillips screws
You will also need a 2.5mm (or 3/32 inch) hex driver and a

If the
library
is operational:

and, if necessary,
stop the software services.

Using the GUI (or the application software), remove
any
cartridges
from the drives to prevent damage.

all
the magazines.
IMPORTANT: If the library is non-operational, the
doors can be manually opened by pushing a stiff
wire against the releases behind the front panel.
2.
Make note of the library’s
IP Address
. It will be used
to reconfigure the library after replacing the card.

reference to reconfigure the library with unique
configurations.
