CAUTION: Parts can be damaged by
electrostatic discharge. Keep parts in their
containers until needed. Make sure that you are
properly grounded when touching static sensitive
components.
NOTE: If the power supply is redundant (there
is another one in the module), the power supply
is hot-swappable; you do not have to turn off
power to the library or module to remove and
replace a redundant power supply.
Inspect the contents of the kit
The kit contains one +48V 1500W power supply.
You will also need the ESD strap that shipped with the
ESL G3.
Prepare the library
1. If you are replacing the only power supply in the
module, power off the library:
a. Make sure there is no I/O activity on any of
the partitions.
b. Make sure that you are viewing the physical
library. From the View menu or in the
Managed Views region of the Operator
Control Panel (OCP), click the name of the
physical library.
c. Select OperationsSystem Shutdown.
The System Shutdown dialog box appears
with Shutdown selected as the default.
d. Select Shutdown, then click OK in the
confirmation dialog box.
When the shutdown process completes, the
OCP display turns dark.
e. To turn off power to the library, press the
Power button on the indicator panel.
2. Open the service door to the module.
3. Attach the ESD strap to your wrist and to an
unpainted surface inside the door.

4. On the power distribution unit (PDU) to the right
of the power supply that is being replaced, set
the power switch to the down position to turn
power off.
1. Power switch
Remove the existing power supply
(replacement only)
Loosen the thumbscrew on the power supply and pull
it toward you to remove it from the housing.
1. Thumbscrew
CAUTION: There is a pinch point between
the edge of the module and the left side of the
power supply when the power supply is slid out
of the module.
Remove the power supply blank plate (new
installation only)
1. Loosen the thumbscrews that secure the blank
plate to the module.
1. Blank plate thumbscrews

2. Remove the blank plate from the module.
3. Store the blank plate in a safe location for
possible future use.
Install the new power supply
1. Slide the new power supply into the opening and
tighten the thumbscrew.
CAUTION: There is a pinch point
between the edge of the module and the
left side of the power supply when the
power supply is slid into of the module.
2. If you are installing a redundant power supply,
also slide the new PDU into the opening (to the
right of the power supply), tighten the thumbscrew,
and attach the power cable to the PDU.
3. Turn the power switch on the PDU (to the right of
the new power supply) to the up position to turn
power on.
Prepare the library for use
1. Detach the ESD strap and close the service access
door.
2. If the library was powered off for this procedure,
press the Power button on the indicator panel to
power it back on.
The library begins to boot up. A library with only
a few drives usually will be fully powered on and
ready for use within 10 minutes. However, if a
library is large with a high number of drives, it
can take more than an hour for the library to fully
power on, complete its discovery process, and
become ready for use. During the power on
process, the Robotics Enabled indicator flashes.
When the library is fully powered on and ready
to receive commands, the Robotics Enabled
indicator turns solid green.
3. If this is a replacement, close the event that was
generated for the failed power supply.
