This document explains how to replace a removable SDLT/DLT

load pack with a fixed LTO/SDLT load pack in an ESL9198SL,

ESL9326SL, or ESL9595 library.

The upgrade procedure consists of the following steps:

1. Turn off library power.

2. Remove the existing load packs.

3. Install the fixed load pack.

4. Calibrate the fixed load pack.

You will need a Phillips screwdriver to perform this procedure.

NOTE: HP recommends that you use a magnetic-tipped screwdriver to avoid

dropping the screws.

Powering Off the Library

Before starting the upgrade procedure, turn off the library power:

1. On the graphical user interface (GUI) panel, press Standby to

place the library off-line.

The library robotics completes any current commands and then

stops.

2. Verify that the GUI displays System Off-line.

3. Press the Overview tab on the GUI.

4. In the Activity section of the Overview tab, verify that the

gripper contains a tape cartridge.

5. If the gripper contains a cartridge, perform a Move Cartridge

command to place it in an available bin.

6. On the front of the library, locate the sliding panel that covers

the On/Off switch (see Figure 1).

7. The sliding panel is on the right front of the library, just below

the GUI.

8. Slide the panel open.

9. Set the On/Off switch to the off position.
