Power On the Library

CAUTION:  

After the other components have been moved, the 

library must be turned on and off before replacing an old 
controller card with a new one. Replacing the controller before 
power cycling the library leads to library operation failure.

Power on the library from the Base Module front panel by 
pressing and holding down the power button for three (3) 
seconds until the green light on the front panel illuminates 
indicating the status is 

Ready

.

Complete the Procedure

Verifying the Installation & Firmware (Base)

From the OCP or RMI, use the 

Status

 option to verify that the 

new Base Module with all tape drives and magazines is visible. 
Before using your library, it is highly recommended that you 
verify it is running the latest library firmware version:

1.

At the 

Startup Screen

, note the firmware version.

2.

Go to 

http://ftp.overlandstorage.com/Firmware/

Neo_Series/Neo-XL/NEOxl80/

 and check if newer 

firmware is available.

3.

If newer firmware is found, download the 

firmware

 and 

Release Notes

.

4.

Update the firmware from the OCP or RMU using 

Maintenance > Software Upgrades > System Firmware

.

Verify/Restore the Library Configuration

If necessary, restore the configuration to return the Base 
Module to the state it was in before this procedure.

NOTE: Using the RMI is the faster recommended process.

1.

If using the OCP to restore the configuration file, insert 
the 

USB drive

 with the saved configuration into one of 

the USB ports on the Base Module.

2.

Navigate to the

 restore configuration 

screen.

If using the RMI, go to 

Configuration > Restore Defaults 

> Save/Restore Config to file

 and click 

Save

.

If using the OCP, go to 

Configuration > Save/Restore > 

Restore Configuration File

 and press 

Submit

.

3.

If using the OCP, remove the 

USB device

.
