Recording configuration settings

If the OCP or RMI works, save the configuration settings to the USB flash drive from the OCP or to a
file from the RMI. You will need these settings to re-configure the Library after replacing the chassis.
TIP:
For the MSL4048, the configuration settings are saved on the library controller card and should
transfer to the new chassis when you install the library controller card in the new chassis. Recording
the configuration settings is a good idea in case the library controller card has a problem or is
damaged during the transfer to the new chassis.
