SUN 7054613 SL3000 HBC CONTROLLER

$71.40 (Ex. GST)

The HBC is the main control board (often called Library Controller or HBC) located at the front of the card cage in the SL3000 base module. It serves as the central brain of the library, managing:

Overall library operations
Robotics coordination (TallBot / HandBot movements)
Cartridge inventory and mapping
Host communication (via TCP/IP or FC-SCSI)
Drive control and monitoring
Pass-thru port (PTP) and CAP (Cartridge Access Port) operations
Error logging, diagnostics, and firmware execution

The HBC card runs the library firmware and boot-strap code. In SL3000 systems, there is typically one primary HBC (with optional HBCR redundant variant in some configs, but SL3000 is single-HBC standard). Failure of the HBC usually causes the library to go offline, robotics to halt, or the system to enter degraded/service mode with errors like "HBC failure" or "library controller fault."

• Dual redundant HBC architecture supported
• Controls all robotics, CAP, drive communication & inventory
• Dual 8 Gb Fibre Channel host ports (most common)
• Hot-swappable (when second HBC is present)
• Integrated diagnostics & event logging
• Supports all SL3000 firmware versions
• Required part for full HA (High Availability) operation
