Removing A Library Controller Card From The Library - IBM TS3100 Setup, Operator, And Service Manual

Figure 185. Removing a library controller card from the library
Note: If you power on the replacement library without first swapping the library controller card
from the original (defective) library enclosure, this message displays on the Operator Control
Panel shortly after power is applied: New library detected. Please remove library power and
insert library controller card from old Library. The library requires the library serial number and
other library attributes from the original library that is in the VPD on the original library
controller card to continue library initialization. See theImportant - Read Me Before Continuing
message.
If the replacement library does not complete library initialization successfully after the original
library controller card is swapped, be sure to retain the original library controller card so it can be
swapped into the 'new' replacement library enclosure that must be ordered.
2. Plug one end of the power cord (removed earlier from the defective library) into the rear panel of the
replacement library enclosure and plug the other end into a power source.
3. Power ON the replacement library enclosure.
a. If power ON is successful:
1) The Ready/Activity LED ( 1 ) turns ON indicating that all components are functioning
properly.
2) After power is restored to the replacement library enclosure, the library automatically restores
the VPD on the replacement library enclosure from the library controller card. If a VPD
Selection message is displayed in the Operator Control Panel, see the Read Me before
Continuing section earlier in this procedure to determine how to respond to the message.
3) Power OFF the replacement library enclosure.
4) Proceed to "Swapping cartridge magazines" on page 243.
b. If power ON is not successful:
1) The Error LED ( 4 in Figure 186 on page 243) turns ON. This action indicates that the library
controller card from the defective library is not functioning properly.
2) Power OFF the replacement library enclosure.
3) Refer to IBM Technical Support for further instructions.
