Troubleshooting Without the Front Panel or
RMC Web-Based Library Administrator
This section includes information on the following:
• Main diagnostics
• LED diagnostics
• Electronic diagnostics
• Power diagnostics
• Fuse diagnostics
Use the diagnostics trees on the following pages when the following
library interfaces are unavailable: the library front panel, the remote
management card, or the SCSI interface. It is very rare that these
diagnostic trees will be necessary. The product has many means of
self-diagnostics and reporting errors. Exhaust all of those options before
proceeding:
If it is necessary to diagnose without the library interfaces, consider the
following:
• When using the diagnostic trees on the following pages, start at the
beginning each time a change is made that alters how the fault
presents itself. If a change has been made, but the unit still has the
same fault, proceed to the next section indicated in the diagnostics
tree.
• Verify, if possible, that the latest code is in the library before
proceeding with any parts replacement. (See “Upgrading Firmware”
on page 6-68.)
• Use the instructions in Chapter 6 to guide you on parts replacement.
• Take all standard ESD precautions for parts replacement.
• Power off the library before removing or adding electrical
components.
