Scalar i40 and Scalar i80:
System Control Board
Replacement
These instructions explain how to remove a System Control Board (SCB) from
your Scalar®i40 or Scalar i80 library, and replace it with a new one.
The SCB contains library firmware, tape drive firmware, all configurable settings,
license keys, and SKM TLS certificates. After you replace the SCB, you must
either restore a previously saved configuration, or reinstall the license keys and
manually reconfigure the settings.
Note: When you replace the SCB you will permanently lose all data previously
collected for logs and reports.
To replace the SCB, refer to the following sections:
•Taking ESD Precautions on page 1
•Removing the System Control Board on page 2
•Replacing the System Control Board on page 4
•Installing Library Firmware on page 4
•Configuring the Library on page 5
Taking ESD Precautions
To avoid damaging static-sensitive parts while performing this procedure,
observe the following precautions:
• Use an antistatic wrist strap. If you do not have one, touch the outside of
the library on the sheet metal before touching any components, to
discharge static from your body.

2Removing the System Control Board
• Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until ready
for installation. Look for the ESD sticker to identify static-sensitive parts.
• Avoid touching connectors and board components.
Note: Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have lower
relative humidity and are more likely to produce static electricity.
Removing the System Control Board
These instructions explain how to power down and remove the system control
board from the Scalar i40 and the Scalar i80 library.
Caution: You must completely remove power from the library before
removing and replacing the system control board.
1If the library is still operational, save the library configuration.
aFrom the Web client, select Tools > Save/Restore Configuration.
bSelect Save System Configuration, and click Apply.
2If the library is still operational, and you want to save log and report
information for historical purposes, access the logs and reports you want
using the Web client and save them to a known location.

It should slide smoothly and easily.
bWhen it reaches the end of its travel, press firmly on the back panel of
the SCB to “snap” it into place.
cTighten the two thumbscrews finger tight.
3Connect the Ethernet cable to the LEFT Ethernet port on the SCB (as viewed
from the back of the library; see Figure 1 on page 3).
Installing Library Firmware
These instructions explain how to install the firmware for the library.
1Connect the power cords to the power supplies on the back of the library.
Make sure that each power supply is plugged into a grounded AC outlet.
2To turn the library ON, press the power button on the front panel.
The LED on the SCB should illuminate green. The green power LED on the
library front panel above the power button illuminates, and the Operator
panel screen turns on. The library goes through a connection and
initialization sequence that takes up to 60 seconds.
When initialization is complete, the Library Installation screen appears on
the Operator panel, displaying the text, “The library needs to have
its IP Address configured.” The purpose of this screen is to set the IP
address so you can access the library via the Web client and download
firmware. (After you have loaded firmware, you can change or reconfigure
IP addresses, if needed.)
3From the Operator panel, press Next.
The screen displays the text, “Current protocol: IPv4. Set protocol
to IPv6?”
4Press one of the following options:
•Yes — The library supplies a stateless IPv6 address and displays it, along
with other network settings, on two screens. Use the Next and Back

Web client.
•No — You are asked if you want to use DHCP.
• If you press Yes, the library receives an IPv4 address from the DHCP
server and displays the information on the screen.
• If you press No, use the Up and Down buttons to enter a static IP
address, mask, and gateway. Set the numeric value for each
segment of the address, then press the Right button to go to the
next segment. To save the values, press Apply.
