Goal

Information on Replacing HBC Card.

Solution

Steps to Follow:
The following information is included in the RPC (Removable Parts Catalog) and Service Manual to assist in the replacement of the HBC card.

 

Replacing the Card:

  • The HBC card from spares should only have the boot-strap code loaded into memory which will make the card fully functional but no auto-updates will occur. Due to the potential of having unwanted versions of code on the new HBC card, there is a need to control the auto update process.

  • This necessitates having the target SL8500 code preloaded on the SL Console remote client to upgrade the target code after installing the HBC card.

  • The Library Controller maintained volume id and location data base is loaded on the HBC card and after installing a new HBC card it will be necessary to complete a full physical audit via SL Console.

  • The library configuration is housed on the HBK card but best practice is to verify the library configuration on the new HBC card.

MAC Address change:

  • The new HBC card will have a different MAC address and some customer network's routing tables can take a period of time before the new MAC address is populated throughout the network.
