Important: This library has mandatory CRUs (customer replaceable units). These
CRUs are parts of the library that must be added, removed, and
replaced by the customer. If a customer chooses to have the CRU
added or removed/replaced by an IBM Service Representative, there
will be a charge for the service.
Before ordering a replacement CRU, ensure that the following criteria
is met:
v The failure is repeatable.
v A dump is captured for emailing to IBM Service.
– Use the ITDT tool for drive dumps.
– Use the Web User Interface (Service Library → Capture Log) for
library dumps.
Before
beginning a procedure, read and understand all related instructions.
Required Library State
Adding, removing, and replacing library components usually requires you to
power OFF the entire library. there are a few components, however, that you can
service without powering off the library, Instead, you may need only to take a
certain logical library offline or you may not need to impact the status of the
library at all.
Use the following table to determine the state that the library must be in before
you begin servicing it.
