When adding a drive it is technically irrelevant to which bay it is fitted; even if partitioning was used albeit in a partitioned configuration it
makes sense to arrange the Tape Drives and respective tape cartridges in physically close entities.
Remove the cover plate of the chosen bay.
By holding the drive aligned with the bay carefully slide it all the way in and fasten in its place using the thumbscrews.
If the added drive has a SAS interface then it is enough to connect the respective SAS cable, if the drive is of Fibre Channel type then in addition
to connecting the Fibre Channel cable it is necessary to set the Fibre Channel port parameters as described in the Installation and Operation
Guide.
In both cases the drive will be automatically powered on after which it will be ready to use and the respective symbol appears in the Home
Screen. Please be aware that the new LTO-6 [l-t-o-6] IBM drives look slightly different than its predecessors from HP.
10. Replacing Power Supply
Defective Power Supply can be identified by its LEDs; either the midmost amber LED is lit or all three LEDs are unlit.
After having unplugged the power cable the thumbscrews of the Power Supply can be loosened and consequently the unit can be removed
from the chassis.
Installing a replacement Power Supply is very straightforward; align the Power Supply with its bay and carefully move inwards until it sits firmly
in its place. As with all the modules, use the blue thumbscrews to fasten in its place.
After having reconnected the power cable and the short initialization phase the Power Supply is ready to use. In normal operation the white
and green LEDs are lit and the amber LED is unlit.
11. Replacing Controller Board
Although the configuration of the library is stored also in the chassis and is restored to the Controller Board after a replacement, it is always
recommended to save the configuration of the library to a file before replacing the Controller Board - naturally providing the nature of the
failure allows this.
Controller Board replacement is obviously an offline service procedure.
Always before carrying this service task consult the local Administrator to ensure that no backups are currently running and that none are
planned for the offline service time.
The procedure is started with a soft shutdown of the library by pushing and holding the power button for 5 seconds, after which a pop-up
window appears with a question to which position the Robotic Assembly should be moved; select Park Position.
Should the library not react to applying the power button then it is necessary to push and hold the power button for 10 seconds.
By looking inside the Base Module window, next verify that the robotic assembly is in its parked position behind the OCP.
Following steps are carried out in the back side of the library. First remove both power cables and then detach all cables - and potentially a USB
device - from the Controller Board. Ethernet and USB interfaces are available only on the Base Module.
Before proceeding with the next step please make sure that you are following the appropriate ESD precautions.
Loosen the thumbscrews and use them to pull the Controller Board out of its slot.
When inserting the replacement Controller Board first align it with the slot rails and then push carefully fully in its slot. After having fastened
the Board in its place with the thumbscrews you can re-connect first all signal cables, re-insert the USB device - if any - and as last reconnect
the power cables.
After powering on the LT260 it is necessary to verify that the library has re-established normal operational status.
If the Controller Board of the Base Module was replaced then it is necessary to verify that the firmware version of the Controller Board is
up-to-date.
The firmware of the Controller Board in the Expansion Module is always automatically updated after a replacement.
12. Replacing Chassis Fan
Replacement of the chassis fan is a very straight forward operation as the fan assembly contains no active components. Open the thumbscrews,
remove the defective fan, replace with a new one and finish off by tightening the thumbscrews of the new fan.
13. Replacing a Drive Power Board
As it is necessary to power off the system for this procedure, before proceeding first verify with the local Administrator that no backups are
running or planned for the time of the maintenance procedure.
If not already done, first have a look at the system log to get a confirmation regarding the defective component.
Similarly as with the replacement of the Controller Board, first power off the LT260 and verify that the robotic assembly is in parked position.
After having disconnected the power cables, remove the chassis fan to have access to the Power Board compartment.
IMPORTANT: As the Drive Power Board is a non-protected bare printed circuit board with exposed electrical components, it is extremely
important to follow appropriate ESD precautions when handling the board.
Remove the defective Board from the chassis.
Align the replacement board with the alignment rails and slide the board into the compartment until seated firmly. Push the latch up until it
snaps into place.
