Isolating

a

Library

Controller

Card

vs.

Accessor

Enclosure

Problem

1.

If

possible,

ensure

that

the

library

firmware

is

at

the

latest

level,

check

the

current

library

firmware

level

using

the

Operator

Control

Panel

(Monitor

Library

Identity

Version

)

or

the

Web

User

Interface

(Monitor

Library

Library

Identity

),

then.

2.

With

library

power

OFF,

loosen

the

two

thumb

screws

which

secure

the

controller

card

to

the

library

enclosure

and

slide

it

out.

v

Inspect

the

card

for

any

broken

components

or

other

anomalies.

v

If

the

card

appears

to

have

no

abnormalities,

reseat

the

card

back

in

the

library,

tighten

the

thumb

screws,

and

turn

library

power

ON.

3.

If

both

the

Operator

Control

Panel

and

Web

User

interfaces

are

inoperable

or

frozen

and

the

latest

firmware

has

been

installed,

the

controller

card

CRU

electronics

is

the

most

likely

failure.

If

only

the

Web

User

Interface

has

failed,

please

see

“Isolating

Web

User

Interface

Problems”

before

replacing

any

CRUs.

4.

If

a

control

card

error

code

has

been

obtained

and

reseating,

power

cycling,

and

updating

the

library

firmware

did

not

fix

the

problem,

the

controller

card

CRU

is

the

most

likely

failing

CRU

(refer

to

“Replacing

a

Library

Controller

Card”

on

page

10-8).

5.

If

the

error

code

indicates

an

accessor

type

error

(slider,

elevator,

sled,

etc.),

release

and

remove

both

magazines

(see

“Control:

Magazine”

on

page

5-17,

“Manage

Library:

Release

Magazine”

on

page

5-50,

or

“Releasing

the

Magazines

Manually”

on

page

9-1)

and

observe

the

accessor

path

for

any

obvious

obstruction

or

problems.

Resolve

any

observed

problem

if

possible.

Otherwise,

contact

Dell

technical

support.

6.

If

the

library

is

taking

an

extended

amount

of

time

in

recovery

to

complete

initialization,

perform

an

inventory,

or

executing

a

cartridge

movement

within

the

library,

and,

after

finding

the

magazine

cell

fiducials

to

be

present

with

no

visible

damage

and

correctly

installed,

suspect

the

sensor/emitter

on

the

accessor

mechanism

to

be

inoperable.
