Replacing the Compact Flash Card
Important: When handling the compact flash card, you must wear an ESD
anti-static wrist strap or touch the library frame to discharge any
static electricity in your body. Do not handle the compact flash card
without taking appropriate ESD precautions.
Selections made during library configuration reside on the Compact
Flash Card. Using the Configuration Form in the Setup and Operator
Guide, record all current library settings before removing the card. You
will need this information to re-configure your library after replacing
the card. Use the Operator Panel to re-configure your library.
1. Locate the vacant slot for the compact flash card position on the Library
Control Blade (LCB).
(See the area enclosed in the white circle in Figure 12-18 on page 12-22 for
location).
2. Transfer the compact flash card to the new LCB board with the label up, and
pins aligned. Without touching any other components on the LCB board,
carefully grasp the compact flash card, and slowly slide it into the guide slots.
Continue to push the compact flash card into the guide slots until the pins start
to connect. Then hold the LCB board metal connector shield (
Figure 12-18 on page 12-22) with one hand and push the compact flash card
into the connector with your other hand. The compact flash card should be
firmly seated against the connector (
Note: The card is properly connected when no gold pins are visible.
3. Install the LCB board into the Control Module as directed in "Replacing the
Library Control Blade (LCB)" on page 12-20.
4. Power ON the library and wait for it to initialize. This may take from 2 to 10
minutes, depending on the level of firmware on the Library. If the Compact
Flash Card is new and has never been initialized, it contains a minimal level of
library firmware which allows the library to boot up and display an Upgrade
Notification message. In order to use the library, you must upgrade to the latest
level of library firmware. See "Upgrading the Compact Flash Card Firmware."
