Scalar i500 User’s Guide 459
6 Make sure cover plates are installed over any unused bays in the
expansion module.
7 If you are permanently removing the FC I/O blade, you will need to
configure the library to stop monitoring the FC I/O blade (see
Permanently Removing FC I/O Blades
on page 503).
8 Save the library configuration (see Saving the Library Configuration
on page 495).
Replacing an FC I/O
Blade 12
These instructions explain how to replace an FC I/O blade in your
library. You can remove and replace a FC I/O blade while the library is
powered on.
Required tools: None
1 Access the back of the expansion module.
2 If you have not already done so, remove the old FC I/O blade,
following the directions in Removing an FC I/O Blade
on page 458.
3 Press up and out to open the latch hooks on each side of the
replacement FC I/O blade.
4 Carefully align the FC I/O blade with the guide slots in the bay. The
status LEDs must be at the bottom.
5 Evenly apply pressure to both sides of the blade and slide it into the
expansion module until the latch hooks begin to move towards the
middle of the blade. Push the latch hooks towards the middle of the
blade and into the locked position. You will feel the blade pins
connect with the expansion module’s backplane as the blade locks
into place.
Note: The library will generate a RAS ticket when you remove the
FC I/O blade. If you do not want the library to generate a RAS
ticket, you can power down the FC I/O blade before removing
it. See Controlling FC I/O Blade Power
on page 267.
Caution: Forcing the blade into the bay can cause the pins to
bend.
