Removing and Replacing the Library Control Blade and LCB Compact Flash Card

The library control blade (LCB) manages the entire library, including the
operator panel and robot, and is responsible for running system tests to
ensure that the library is functioning properly.
The LCB compact flash card contains important information about your
library configuration. If you replace the compact flash card, then you
need to reconfigure your library. You have two options:
• Replacing the LCB/Compact Flash Card or Compact Flash Card
Only
• Replacing the LCB Only
Contact Quantum Support to determine which component(s) you need to
replace and which set of instructions to follow.
Contact Quantum Support to help you determine whether to replace the
LCB and compact flash card together, or to replace just the compact flash
card. The instructions for both options are nearly identical, except that for
