  Johnny SchultzSep 1, 2025
  If your Tandberg Data Storage library display is dead, power cycle the library by turning it off and on using the main power switch on the rear. Check that the fans start at power on and then stop after a few seconds. Also, check the power cord connection and ensure the power switch on the rear panel is in the ON position. Make sure there is power to the outlet, and try another working outlet. Replace the power cord if necessary. Check the fuse located beside the power connector on the rear panel and replace it if blown (a spare fuse is located behind the fuse door). Verify that the power supply unit is properly inserted into the bay. Replace the power supply unit.
