1 Upgrade library firmware to version 600G or later.
2 Upgrade tape drive firmware on all HP LTO-5 FC or HP LTO-6 FC
tape drives that you plan to connect to the Ethernet Expansion blade
to the latest version qualified with the Scalar i500 library (see the
Scalar i500 Release Notes for qualified firmware levels).
3 Optional – Save the library configuration (see the Scalar i500 User’s
Guide for instructions).
4 Shut down the library.
5 For every expansion module that will contain an Ethernet Expansion
blade, connect a standard Ethernet cable from one of the four internal
Ethernet ports on the library control blade (LCB) to the Ethernet port
marked “LOWER” located on the bottom right of the expansion
module in which the Ethernet Expansion blade is installed. There are
two ports, marked “UPPER” and “LOWER.” Since the Ethernet
Expansion blade must be installed in the lower bay of the expansion
module, you must use the Ethernet port marked “LOWER.” The
“LOWER” port is on the right. See Figure 64
