The library consists of the following CRUs (Customer Replaceable Units):
– Control Card (electronics, processor, memory, etc.)
– Power Supply
– Drive Sled (drive plus drive-to-library connectivity)
– Cartridge Magazines

v

Service Spare:
– Library Enclosure (accessor, Operator control panel display, etc.)

v

Other possible Replacement Parts are:
– Data Cartridges
– Cables/Terminator

Important:

Before replacing any CRU and after finding the problem and
performing any listed actions listed in the Troubleshooting Table below,
be sure to review the “Procedures for Isolating CRU Problems” on
page 7-7
to help confirm the failing CRU.

The following table is the starting point for all service issues. Find the reason
which closest resembles the problem you are experiencing and perform the listed
action. If you are unable to correct the problem, create a prioritized list of
replacement parts required. Select only one CRU at a time starting with the most
likely based on the “Procedures for Isolating CRU Problems” on page 7-7 and/or
the error code listing.

After correcting the problem, run Library Verify (Operator Control Panel: Service >
Library Verify

) to ensure that all library components are functioning properly

before resuming normal library operations.
