Replacement

Abstract

The base and expansion module controllers are mandatory

customer self repair parts. HP customer self repair (CSR)

programs allow you to repair your StoreEver product. If a

CSR part needs replacing, HP ships the part directly to you

so that you can install it at your convenience. For more

information about CSR, contact your local service provider.

For North America, see the CSR website:

*QU625-96010*

HP Part Number: QU625-96010

Published: June 2013

Edition: 1

CAUTION: Parts can be damaged by

electrostatic discharge. Keep parts in

electrostatic containers until needed. Ensure you

are properly grounded when touching static

sensitive components.

CAUTION: You must power off the library to

install or replace this part or damage may

occur.

IMPORTANT: Do not replace both the base

chassis and the base module controller with

repair components in the same procedure. The

firmware will not allow the library to operate if

both components are replaced at the same time.

The library WWID and serial number are saved

in the controller and within the chassis. When

one is replaced, the data from the original

component is transferred to the repair

component. If replacing both the base chassis

and base module controller, you must power

cycle the library between component

replacements.

Identifying the failed component

Using the OCP (operator control panel) or RMI (remote

management interface) if possible:

1. Activate the UID (Unit Identification) LEDs from

the Maintenance→UID LED Control screen. This

will illuminate the blue LED on the front and rear

of the base module to identify the library

containing the failed component.

2. Identify the module within the library that contains

the failed component:

a. In the upper left corner of the Home screen,

locate the module that indicates an error.

b. Click or tap the module for information on

the failed component.

Saving the configuration

The library configuration settings are on the library

chassis and will be restored automatically when the

controller is replaced. However, HP recommends

saving the configuration settings before removing the

controller board. Refer to the HP StoreEver MSL6480

User and Service Guide for instructions on saving

configuration settings to a file or USB flash drive via

the OCP or RMI.
