If PX500 Series (PX502, PX506, and PX510) libraries are in a multiple library
stack, the library firmware must be uploaded individually to each cabinet. If
you attempt to upload library firmware to only the Master library in the
stack, the slave libraries may not receive the firmware update properly.
Uploading Library Firmware 0
Uploading library firmware to a multiple library stack consists of the
following steps:
•Changing the Library Stack Role
•Uploading Library Firmware
•Returning the Library Stack Role
Changing the Library
Stack Role 0
The library must be in Stand alone mode prior to receiving the library
firmware update.
To change the library stack role:
1From the Operator Control Panel (OCP), press Setup from the Home
screen.
The OCP displays the Setup screen (see figure 1):
Figure 1 Setup Screen

Library SCB
Note: Make note of the original stack role. You must return the
library to its original stack role after the library firmware has
been updated.
