Replacing the Flash (SD) Card
These instructions describes how to replace the Flash (SD) card (flash card).
Before You Begin
Ensure that the work area is free from conditions that could cause electrostatic discharge (ESD). Discharge static electricity from your body by touching a known grounded surface, such as a computer’s metal chassis.
Ensure that the library is not accessing the flash card—It is important that you do not interrupt the card during write or erase activity.
Ensure that you have saved a backup copy of your library’s configuration—see
Preparing for Replacement on page 5).
Power the library off—Ensure that the library and flash card are both idle, and then power the library off (Resetting the Library on page 19 for important information).
Note: If the system is stable at power off, a message displays indicating that the power button was pressed.
If the system is unstable at power off—if you power off the library when it is in an error state—the power off time will take approximately one minute and will show no indication that it is powering off. Wait for the sequence to complete.
Gathering Tools and Supplies
A new Flash (SD) card from Spectra Logic Corporation
A #2 Phillips screwdriver
Continuing Backups
If the flash card is malfunctioning, you have no control of the library through the Library Controller (LC) on the front panel or through the Remote Library Controller (RLC). A malfunctioning flash card can also affect robotics and tape drives. Backups are interrupted if the robotics or tape drives are affected and cannot be restarted until after the flash card is replaced.

You have a Valid Backup Library Configuration Whenever you modify the configuration of the library or a partition, you have the option of saving the configuration to a USB storage device, as described in the Spectra T50eLibrary User Guide. The saved configuration can be used to restore a lost configuration.
If you previously saved the library configuration on a USB storage device or uploaded it to a file on your computer, locate the most current configuration file before beginning the replacement procedure. You can use this saved configuration to restore the library configuration after you replace the flash card.
If you have a valid saved configuration, continue with Replacing the Flash (SD) Card on page 15.
Caution: 
Do not attempt to save the library configuration if the flash
card is malfunctioning. Any information saved at this point may be corrupted.
You do not have a Valid Backup Library Configuration If do not have a valid backup library configuration, or are unable to locate it, you may need to reconfigure your library manually after replacing the flash card.
