NEOxl 40 3U Tape Library
Spare Base Module Controller Instructions
This document describes how to remove and replace a Base
Module Controller in a NEOxl 40 3U tape library from
Overland-Tandberg.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to
equipment, always remove any power cords while working with
the library.
WARNUNG: Um das Risiko eines elektrischen Schlags oder
Schäden am Gerät zu vermeiden, ziehen Sie stets den
Netzstecker, bevor Sie an der Einheit arbeiten.
AVERTISSEMENT: Pour réduire le risque de choc électrique
ou endommagement de l'équipement, retirez toujours les
cordons électriques en travaillant avec l'appareil.
CAUTION: While working with the library, observe standard
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions to prevent damage
to micro-circuitry or static-sensitive devices.
Prepare the Library
Save the Configuration
Before you start, save the current library configuration. If not
possible because of the controller failure, a previous version
can be used.
NOTE: Using the RMI to restore the configuration is the faster
recommended process.
1. If using the OCP to save the configuration file, insert a
USB drive into one of the USB ports on the Base Module.
2. Navigate to the Save Configuration screen.
•If using the RMI, go to
Configuration > Restore Defaults
> Save / Restore Config to file.
•If using the OCP, go to Configuration > Save / Restore
Library Config > Save to/Restore from USB.
3. Select the destination location for the download:
•The RMI downloads the configuration file to the
browser or system running the RMI.
•The OCP downloads the configuration file to the USB
drive inserted into the USB port.
4. Click
Save .

Power Off Library
If still running, power off the library from the Base Module
front panel by pressing and holding down the power button for
three (3) seconds.
NOTE: If the library does not perform a soft shutdown, press and
hold the power button for 10 seconds.
Verify that the Robotic Assembly is in its parked position and
that all host processes are idle.
Remove Cords and Cables
Disconnect all cables and cords, noting where they connect.
1. Unplug any AC power cords (1).
2. For a multi-module system, remove the expansion
interconnect cables (2) from the Base Module and any
Expansion Modules to which it is connected.
NOTE: Completely remove the expansion interconnect cables
from the modules to prevent damaging the cables during
module removal and replacement.
3. Label and remove any Ethernet management cables (3).
4. If present, remove the optional USB device (4).
Replace the Controller
1. At the rear of the Base Module, loosen the two blue
thumbscrews on the old controller.
2. Using the thumbscrews, slowly remove the controller
from the module and set it aside.
3. Position the new controller on the alignment rails.
4. Slide the controller slowly into the module until it is flush
with the rear panel of the module.
5. Finger-tighten the thumbscrews to secure it.
Reattach Cables and Cords
1. For a multi-module system, reconnect the expansion
interconnect cables (2) from the Base Module to any
adjacent Expansion Modules.
2. Reconnect any Ethernet management cables (3).
3. If removed earlier, reinsert the USB device (4).
4. Reconnect the AC power cords (1).
Power on the Library
Power on the library from the Base Module front panel by
pressing and holding down the power button for three (3)
seconds until the green light on the front panel illuminates
indicating the status is
Ready .

Verifying the Installation and Configuration
Check the following:
•Verify that the library powers on and initializes correctly,
and that the status is Ready.
•From the OCP or RMI, verify that the Base Module is
visible showing all the tape drives and both magazines.
The Base Module operates using the existing library firmware
located on the Base Module Controller that was installed. It is
recommended that you always update the library to the latest
firmware version.
You can update firmware from either the RMI or by going to
the OCP
Maintenance > Library Firmware Upgrade screen.
Library Configuration Restoration
If necessary, restore the configuration to return the Base
Module to the state it was in before this procedure. If
necessary, use a previously saved version.
NOTE: Using the RMI to restore the configuration is the faster
recommended process.
1. If using the OCP to restore the configuration file, insert
the USB drive with the saved configuration into one of
the USB ports on the Base Module.
2. Navigate to the restore configuration screen.
•If using the RMI, go to
Configuration > Restore Defaults
> Save/Restore Config to file and click Save.
•If using the OCP, go to Configuration > Save/Restore >
Restore Configuration File and press Submit .
3. If using the OCP, remove the USB device.
Return Replaced Part to Overland
For warranty replacements:
1. Place the old part in the anti-static bag and put it in the
replacement part’s box.
2. Use the existing packing material to secure it in the box.
3. Use an RMA to return the part to Overland Storage.
