Replacing an FC I/O Fan Blade
These instructions explain how to replace an FC I/O fan blade in your library. You can remove and replace an
I/O fan blade while the library is powered on.
Required tools: None
1 Access the back of the 9U Library Expansion Module.
2 If you have not already done so, remove the old I/O fan blade, following the directions in Removing an FC I/O Fan
Blade.
3 Press up and out to open the latch hooks on each side of the replacement I/O fan blade.
4 Carefully align the FC I/O fan blade with the guide slots in the bay. The status LED must be at the bottom.
Caution: Forcing the blade into the bay can cause the pins to bend.
5 Evenly apply pressure to both ends of the FC I/O fan blade and slide it into the 9U Library Expansion Module until the
latch hooks begin to move towards the middle of the blade. As you push in on the blade, you will feel the blade pins
connect with the 9U Library Expansion Module's backplane.
6 Push the latch hooks into the locked position.
7 Save the library configuration (see Saving the Library Configuration).
Preparing the Library for Moving or Shipping
Before you move or ship your library, follow these steps:
Caution: When moving the library: You must install the orange robot restraint assembly to protect the robot against
damage. It is recommended that you use the original shipping carton and packaging materials to further protect your
library.
Caution: When shipping the library: Use the shipping carton, packaging materials, and the orange robot restraint
assembly that originally came with the library. This will help protect your library against damage.
1 Save the library configuration (see Saving the Library Configuration).
2 Shut down the library using the local operator panel (Operations > System Shutdown). This lowers the robot to the
"shipping" position on the floor of the library.
3 Follow instructions on the operator panel screen.
4 Turn off library power by pressing the power button on the front panel.
5 Turn off the power to each power supply on the back of the library.
6 Install the orange robot restraint assembly that secures the robot to the floor of the library. The robot restraint
assembly was part of the packaging that originally came with the library.
7 Remove all cords and cables from the rear of the library.
