Removing the Interface Manager card480240-001
1. Verify that your library meets the following requirements:
•
This board requires a 1 GB CompactFlash to operate; you cannot use a CompactFlash
with a different capacity. Therefore, the Interface Manager card that you are replacing
must contain a 1 GB CompactFlash. (In
Step 7 , you move the CompactFlash from the
original card to the new card.) If you need to order a 1 GB CompactFlash, contact HP
service.
•
You cannot use the 480240-001 Interface Manager card in the ESL9000 tape library.
If you have an ESL9000 library, use either the 342213-001 or 393531-001 Interface
Manager card instead.
•
The 480240-001 Interface Manager card requires firmware version I231 or later to
operate. Do not downgrade the firmware to an earlier version.
2. Use your backup software to stop all library activity and make sure the picker is empty.
3. Turn off the power to the library.
4. Identify the Interface Manager card. It is located in the bottom slot of the base module card
cage.
5. Label and unplug the cables.
a.
Label the cables or write a note that shows the locations of all the cables plugged into
the Interface Manager card to make it easier to reconnect them later.
b. Unplug all cables from the Interface Manager card.
6. Remove the Interface Manager card.
a.
Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screws in the black ejector handles
at the ends of the Interface Manager card.

CAUTION: Be aware that the metal tabs on the gasket on the filler panel can be caught and
bent by the pins on the Interface Manager card. If bent, these tabs can cause a short circuit.

tabs on the gasket do not get caught or bent.
