396 Troubleshooting the Tape Library
Problem: The LCB detected an Ethernet connection failure with the FC I/O blade.
1 Note the ticket details, to determine FC I/O blade location and failure reason.
2 If a CAN and Ethernet connection failure is detected, ensure that the FC I/O blade is installed properly,
fully latched, secured, and powered on.
3 If the FC I/O blade has been removed from the library, select Setup > FC I/O Blades > FC I/O Blade
Control > Remove to exclude the FC I/O blade from library-initiated health check monitoring.
4 If only an Ethernet connectivity issue is reported, ensure that the Ethernet cable is properly connected
to both the appropriate port in the 9U Expansion Module that contains the FC I/O blade, and to one of
the 4 ports on the library control blade. Inspect the Ethernet cable for any damage, and disconnect and
reconnect as needed.
