Note: If you power on the replacement library without first swapping the Library Controller Card
from the original (defective) library enclosure, the following message will appear on the Operator
Control Panel shortly after applying power: "New library detected. Please remove library power
and insert Library Controller Card from old Library". The library requires the library serial
number and other library attributes from the original library which is located in the VPD on the
original Library Controller Card in order to continue library initialization. See Important - Read
Me Before Continuing message listed above.
As a further Note, if the replacement library does not complete library initialization successfully
after swapping in the original Library Controller Card, be sure to retain the original Library
Controller Card so it can be swapped into the “new” replacement library enclosure which will
have to be ordered.
2. Plug one end of the power cord (removed earlier from the defective library) into the rear panel of the
replacement library enclosure and plug the other end into a power source.
3. Power ON the replacement library enclosure.
a. If power ON is successful:
1) The Ready/Activity LED (▌1▐) will turn ON indicating that all components are functioning
properly.
2) After power is restored to the replacement library enclosure, the library will automatically
restore the VPD on the replacement library enclosure from the Library Controller Card. If a
“VPD Selection” message is displayed in the Operator Control Panel, see the “Read Me before
Continuing” section earlier in this procedure to determine how to respond to the message.
3) Power OFF the replacement library enclosure.
4) Proceed to “Swapping Cartridge Magazines” on page 198.
b. If power ON is not successful:
1) The Error LED (▌4▐ in Figure 155) will turn ON. This indicates that the Library Controller Card
from the defective library is not functioning properly.
2) Power OFF the replacement library enclosure.
3) Refer to Dell technical support for further instructions.
