Replacing the Control
Module
7
1
Remove the tape drives from the new control module.
2
Remove the power supplies from the new control module.
3
Using the Phillips #2 screwdriver (for the top cover plate) and the
T10 TORX screwdriver (for the bottom cover plate), remove the new
control module plates from the top and bottom of the module, as
necessary.
a
If your library consists of only the control module, do not remove
the plates.
b
If you plan to stack the control module at the top of the library,
and if an expansion module is located below it, remove the
control module’s bottom cover plate.
c
If you plan to stack the control module in the middle of the
library, remove both the top and bottom cover plates.
d
If you plan to stack the control module at the bottom of the
library, and if an expansion module is located above it, remove
the control module’s top cover plate.
4
Remove the LCB from the control module and set it aside.
The LCB stores information about the library’s contents and
configuration, so you will probably want to install this LCB (or
possibly just the LCB compact flash card) in the new control module.
For details about removing the LCB, see
Removing and Replacing the
Library Control Blade and LCB Compact Flash Card
on page 276.
5
If the library configuration includes expansion modules below the
control module, install them in the library now.
6
Install the new control module in the library. Lift the control module
and, from the front of the library, place it in the desired location.
Caution:
Before removing the control module’s bottom cover
plate, the robot assembly must be parked as described
in
Preparing to Remove the Control Module
above.
Note:
If you plan to stack the control module on top of a 9U
expansion module, be sure to park the picker in the control
module first.
