Reconfigure your library settings as they were before.

Adding, Removing, and Replacing Power Supplies

Library power is controlled at the individual power supplies and at the

front panel of the library. The switch on the rear of each power supply

shuts down power at the input of the individual power supplies. The

switch on the front of the 5U Library Control Module provides power to

all 5U Library Control Module and 9U Expansion Module power

supplies. You can also turn off library power using the Web client, if

necessary.

Adding a Redundant
Power Supply

12

These instructions explain how to add a second (redundant) power

supply to a module. You may need to add a redundant power supply to

the library to make sure that the library does not go down (and become

inaccessible) if its original power supply happens to fail. The library

automatically uses the redundant power supply if the first power supply

fails for any reason.

Caution:

Contact Dell Support before restoring the

configuration. In general, it is recommended that you

use the setup wizard to manually reconfigure the

library. It is not recommended to use the “restore

configuration” tool to restore the previous settings.

Doing so will completely reinstall the former library

firmware level and potentially any defective

configuration settings encountered prior to installing

the new LCB/compact flash card combo. If you do

restore a previous configuration and downrev

firmware, you will need to install the latest version of

firmware again.
