Chapter 12 Installing, Removing, and Replacing
Tape Drive Ethernet Connectivity and the Ethernet Expansion Blade
Scalar i500 User’s Guide 470
6 Prepare the library for Ethernet Expansion blade installation. The
Ethernet Expansion blade must be installed in the bottom left bay of
an expansion module.
• In some cases, this may require removal or relocation of an FC
I/O blade and its accompanying fan blade.
• Remove the cover plate covering the two bottom left slots. To
remove the cover plate, unscrew the two captive thumbscrews
securing the cover plate and pull outward on the plate. Save the
cover plate in case you need to use it later.
7 Remove the new Ethernet Expansion blade from the protective anti-
static bag.
8 Press up and out to open the latch hooks on each side of the blade.
Hold the Ethernet Expansion blade upright with the latch hooks on
the left side, and the status LEDs at the bottom (see Figure 65
).
