Installing the Memory Module
Preparing the Library for the Upgrade
Caution: To prevent electrostatic damage, observe proper ESD practices when
handling the robotics controller and the memory module.
To prepare the library for the upgrade:
1. Place the library off-line by pressing the Standby button on the touch screen
graphical user interface (GUI).
2. Verify that the GUI displays System Off-line.
3. On the Overview screen, verify that the gripper is empty. If there is a tape
cartridge in the gripper, perform a Move command to place the cartridge in an
available bin.
Note: For information about using the GUI, refer to the HP StorageWorks ESL9000
Series Tape Library User Guide.
4. Record the library configuration information in the following table:
Library Element Configuration Information
Model number:
Number of bins:
Number of drives:
PTM:
Library SCSI ID:
Drive SCSI ID:
5. Turn off the power switch, located below the GUI.
6. Open the back library doors.
7. Turn off the main circuit breaker switch (CB1) on the AC distribution
assembly. If two AC distribution assemblies are installed, turn off CB1 on
each assembly.
12 HP StorageWorks ESL9000 Series Tape Library Memory Module Upgrade Guide
Note: The AC power distribution assembly is located in the base of the cabinet, behind
the left tape drive access panel.
Removing the Robotics Controller
To remove the robotics controller:
1. Open the center access door on the rear of the library.
2. Remove the six Phillips screws that secure the cover over the electronics bay,
and remove the cover (see Figure 1).

3. Locate the robotics controller at J5/J6 of the backplane.
4. If present, disconnect the RS-232 cables at connectors J2 and J3 at the left
edge of the robotics controller.
5. Remove the small Phillips screw that secures the robotics controller in the
electronics bay.
6. Remove the robotics controller from the electronics bay.

Removing and Replacing the Memory Module
To remove and replace the memory module:
1. Place the robotics controller on an anti-static mat and use ESD precautions.
2. Remove the memory module from the robotics controller as shown in
Figure 2.
Figure 2: Removing the memory module
3. Install the new memory module in the robotics controller (see Figure 2).
4. Re-install the robotics controller by reversing the steps in “Removing the
Robotics Controller” on page 13.
5. Reinstall the electronics bay cover.
14 HP StorageWorks ESL9000 Series Tape Library Memory Module Upgrade Guide
Completing the Procedure
Completing the memory module installation procedure consists of the following
steps:

■ Initializing Non-Volatile RAM
■ Setting the Library for HP Mode
■ Changing the Library Settings
■ Setting the Number of Tape Drives
■ Calibrating the Library
Turning the Library On
To turn on the library:
1. Turn on the main circuit breaker switch (CB1) on the AC distribution
assembly. If two AC distribution assemblies are installed, turn on CB1 on
each assembly.
Installing the Memory Module
Note: The AC power distribution assembly is located in the lower left part of the
cabinet base, behind the rear access panel.
2. Close the library doors.
3. Turn on the power switch, located below the GUI.
The GUI lights and displays Power-Up. After a few seconds, it displays either
Initializing for On-line or System Off-line, depending upon the setting of
the Power-On State option.
4. If the GUI displays Initializing for On-line, press the Stop button, the
Standby button, and then the Stop button again to place the library off-line.
Caution: Do NOT let the robot initialize. Press the Stop and Off-line buttons
immediately after power-on.
When the library finishes going off-line, the GUI displays System Off-line.
