Serial port (for IBM service personnel use)
3. Grasp the pair of latches (

in Figure 11-7 on page 11-11) near the top and
bottom of the LCB. Simultaneously push the latches to the left, and then pull
them out and away from the LCB.
4. Simultaneously grasp the same pair of latches again, and slowly pull them
toward you. As the LCB begins to slide out of the control module, be sure to
support the LCB from underneath, being careful to touch only the metal cover
and the ground plane.
Important: DO NOT touch any components on the LCB firmware board.
Hold it by the metal cover and support it by the metal ground
plane along the bottom edge.
5. Once the LCB has been removed from the control module, carefully lay it
(Figure 11-8) on a clean, flat surface.
Replacing the Library Control Blade (LCB)
Important: When removing the LCB, you must wear an ESD anti-static wrist
strap, or touch the library frame to discharge any static electricity in
your body. Do not attempt to remove the LCB without taking
appropriate ESD precautions.
1. Unpack the new LCB and carefully lay it on a clean, flat surface.
Important: DO NOT touch any components on the firmware board (see
Figure 11-8). Hold the firmware board by the metal cover and
support it by the metal ground plane only.
2. Locate the empty LCB slot on the rear panel of the control module (CM). Then,
carefully line up the new LCB board along the guide slots, and gently slide it
into the control module until the connector seats.
