Installing the Memory Module 1 This document provides instructions for upgrading the memory module on the library robotics controller.
Installing the Memory Module Preparing the Library for the Upgrade Caution: To prevent electrostatic damage, observe proper ESD practices when handling the robotics controller and the memory module. To prepare the library for the upgrade: 1. Place the library off-line by pressing the Standby button on the touch screen graphical user interface (GUI). 2. Verify that the GUI displays System Off-line. 3. On the Overview screen, verify that the gripper is empty.
Installing the Memory Module Note: The AC power distribution assembly is located in the base of the cabinet, behind the left tape drive access panel. Removing the Robotics Controller To remove the robotics controller: 1. Open the center access door on the rear of the library. 2. Remove the six Phillips screws that secure the cover over the electronics bay, and remove the cover (see Figure 1). 1 2 Robotics controller Electronics bay cover Figure 1: Robotics controller and electronics bay cover 3.
Installing the Memory Module Removing and Replacing the Memory Module To remove and replace the memory module: 1. Place the robotics controller on an anti-static mat and use ESD precautions. 2. Remove the memory module from the robotics controller as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2: Removing the memory module 3. Install the new memory module in the robotics controller (see Figure 2). 4. Re-install the robotics controller by reversing the steps in “Removing the Robotics Controller” on page 13. 5.
Installing the Memory Module Completing the Procedure Completing the memory module installation procedure consists of the following steps: ■ Turning the Library On ■ Initializing Non-Volatile RAM ■ Setting the Library for HP Mode ■ Changing the Library Settings ■ Setting the Number of Tape Drives ■ Calibrating the Library Turning the Library On To turn on the library: 1. Turn on the main circuit breaker switch (CB1) on the AC distribution assembly.
Installing the Memory Module 5. If the HP or Compaq screen is displayed, continue to “Initializing Non-Volatile RAM” on page 16.
