NEOxl 80 Tape Library

Spare Chassis Replacement Instructions

This document describes how to remove and replace either a 
Base Module or Expansion Module in a NEOxl 80 Tape Library 
from Overland-Tandberg.

WARNING:  

To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to 

equipment, always remove any power cords while working with 
the library.

WARNUNG: 

Um das Risiko eines elektrischen Schlags oder 

Schäden am Gerät zu vermeiden, ziehen Sie stets den 
Netzstecker, bevor Sie an der Einheit arbeiten.

AVERTISSEMENT:  

Pour réduire le risque de choc électrique 

ou endommagement de l'équipement, retirez toujours les 
cordons électriques en travaillant avec l'appareil.

CAUTION:  

While working with the library, observe standard 

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions to prevent damage 
to micro-circuitry or static-sensitive devices.

Special Handling Notice

Each NEOxl 80 Base Module weighs more than 90 lbs (44kg) 
without drives or tapes, and more than 156 lbs (70kg) with six 
tape drives and 80 tapes.
Before moving or lifting the Base Module, remove all tape 
drives and tapes to reduce the weight (see below).

Overview

CAUTION:  

In the NEOxl 80 Tape Library, do not replace both the library controller and the Base Module chassis at the same time 

as the serial numbers for both cannot be updated when both are replaced simultaneously. If you receive a new library controller 
and chassis for the Base Module, first install the new library controller in the old Base Module as directed in the Spare Library 
Controller Replacement Instructions, then follow these instructions to replace the Base Module chassis.

To replace an existing NEOxl 80 Tape Library module, the steps include:

1.

Save the library configuration.

2.

After removing the tape cartridges and drives, remove the old module from the rack.

3.

If necessary, transfer the top and/or bottom cover from the old module to the new one.

4.

Move the power supplies, DC-DC board, and controller from the old module to the new one.

5.

Install the new module in the rack and align the module with the rest of the library.

6.

Reinstall tape cartridges and drives into the new module in the same locations.

7.

Reconnect the cables and verify the installation.

You will need a small flat head or Torx screwdriver and a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
