Notes

Introduction

The library contains a single Library Control Module (LCM). The LCM provides the

logic and circuitry to display the user interface on the library’s touch screen. The LCM

includes an embedded web server to provide remote access to the user interface

through the Remote Library Controller (RLC) using a standard web browser. Figure 1

shows the available connections on the LCM.

Note: Depending on the ASM service level you purchased, the LCM may not be

included in your on-site ASM kit.

The figures in this document show the Spectra T380 library. The relative

locations of the components and the procedures for replacing them are

the same for both the Spectra T200 and Spectra T680 libraries.

Preparing for Maintenance

Ensure ESD Protection

The repair environment for the library must be free of conditions that could

cause electrostatic discharge (ESD). To protect the library from ESD, follow these

procedures when repairing or testing the library:

Place a static protection mat on the work surface used while removing and

installing library components. Use a 1-megaohm resistor to ground the static

protection mat.

Wear a static protection wrist band whenever you handle library components that

have been removed from their antistatic bags. Connect this wrist band to the static

protection mat or to other suitable ESD grounding.

Keep all components in antistatic bags when not in use.

Gather Tools and Supplies

You must have the following to complete this procedure:

A #1 Phillips screwdriver

A #2 Phillips screwdriver

A new LCM module

Note: After removing the new LCM from its packaging, keep the packaging to

return the old LCM to Spectra Logic.

Power off the Library

To power off the library, press and hold the front panel power button (Figure 2) for

approximately six seconds or until the button’s LED starts flashing. The power-off

sequence takes approximately one minute while the library allows applications to shut

down gracefully (see Resetting the Library on page 14 for important information).

Note: If you intend to leave the library powered down for an extended length

of time, set the main power switches on the back of the library to the off

position.

Remove the Rear Cover

The rear panel components are shielded by a protective cover (Figure 3). You must

remove this cover when replacing the LCM.

1. From the rear of the library, locate the two knurled screws securing the bottom of

the cover to either side of the chassis (Figure 3).

Figure 2 Front panel power button.

Preparing for Maintenance

2. Using your fingers or a #2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen but do not remove the

captive screws that secure the bottom of the cover to the chassis.

3. Lift the cover outward and away from the chassis to disengage the two nuts

extending from the back of the cover from the holes on either side of the chassis

(see Figure 4).

Discontinue Backups

If the LCM is malfunctioning, you have no control of the library through the Library

Controller (LC) on the front panel or through the Remote Library Controller (RLC). A

malfunctioning LCM can also affect robotics, drives, and QIPs. Backups are interrupted

if the robotics, drives, or QIPs are affected and cannot be restarted until after the LCM

is replaced.

Locate a Saved Library Configuration

The following options are described in the Spectra T200, T380, & T680 Library User

Guide. Spectra Logic highly recommends that you save your library configuration

settings to a safe location.

Manual option—Whenever you modify the configuration of the library or a

partition, you have the option of saving the configuration to a USB storage device.

Automatic option—The BlueScale software includes an Automatic Configuration

Save feature which automatically saves the library configuration settings.

If you previously saved the library configuration on a USB storage device, uploaded it

to a file on your computer, or saved it via the Automatic Configuration Save feature in

BlueScale, locate the most current configuration file before beginning the replacement

procedure. You can use your saved configuration to restore the library configuration

after you replace the LCM.

Replacing the LCM

Remove the LCM

1. Power off the library as described in Power off the Library on page 6.

2. Disconnect any cables connected to the LCM and remove the USB storage device, if

present.

3. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws securing the LCM to the

chassis (Figure 5).

4. Pull outward on the handle to slide the LCM out of the chassis.

5. Set the LCM aside for return to Spectra Logic.

Caution

Do not attempt to save the library configuration if the LCM is

malfunctioning. Any information saved at this point may be

corrupted.

Replacing the LCM

Install the New LCM

1. Slide the new LCM into the empty slot, pushing it in until it is flush against the

chassis.

2. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the screws, shown in Figure 5, to secure the

LCM to the chassis.

3. Return the malfunctioning LCM to Spectra Logic as described in Returning

Components on page 14.

Install the Rear Cover

1. Lift the cover and align it so that the two nuts extending from the back of the cover

fit into the corresponding holes on either side of the chassis (Figure 6).

2. Using your fingers or a #2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the two screws to secure the

bottom of the cover to the chassis (see Figure 3 on page 7).

the library are routed from the...

Caution

Make sure that cables are not pinched between the cover and

Restart the Library

After replacing the LCM, power on the library.

1. Press and hold the front panel power button (Figure 2) for two to three seconds

until the button’s LED illuminates.

2. Wait while the library completes its power-on sequence, which takes about five

minutes, depending on the library configuration.

The BlueScale user interface is again available both through the front panel and

through a web browser.

Note: It may be necessary to upgrade firmware on the LCM. See the Spectra

T200, T380, & T680 Library User Guide for detailed information about

performing firmware upgrades. The LCM must reboot after a firmware

upgrade, which will interrupt backups.

Restoring the Library Configuration

After the library restarts, restore the partition definitions and library configuration

settings using one of the following methods.

Via USB—Restore the configuration you previously saved to a USB storage device

or uploaded to a file on a computer (see Restoring a Saved Configuration on

page 11).

Via the Library Controller (LC) or Remote Library Controller (RLC)—Re-enter

the partition and other library configuration settings as described in the Spectra

T200, T380, & T680 Library User Guide.

Via Flash Card—If SpectraGuard Support directs you to do so, remove the card

from the LCM you replaced and install it in the new LCM compact flash slot (see

Replacing the Compact Flash Card on page 12).
