Installing the LCM
1. Remove the new LCM from the packaging.
Note: Keep the packaging to return the old LCM to Spectra Logic.
2. Slide the new LCM into the empty slot.
a. Align the two edges of the LCM card with the guide slots in the
chassis.
b. Push the LCM it in until it is flush against the chassis. The pressure
needed is about the same as when installing RAM in a computer. If
the card does not “snap” into place, verify that the LCM card edges
are aligned in the guide slots.
3. Tighten the two screws using a #2 Phillips screwdriver or your fingers,
shown in Figure 3, to secure the LCM to the chassis.
Note: The new LCM ships from the factory with a new flash card
installed, which contains updated firmware.
Some libraries have a retaining plate to hold the flash card, and
others do not (see Figure 1 and Figure 3); remove the plate if you
need to replace the card.
Ensure that the card is fully seated if there is no retaining plate
securing the card. The card inserts easily when it is oriented
correctly; do not force it into the slot.
Figure 4 Align the LCM in the guide slots in the chassis.

Do not install the flash card from the LCM you replaced unless directed to do so by
SpectraGuard Technical Support. Installing a corrupted flash card can cause the
new LCM to fail.
