Chapter 12 Installing, Removing, and ReplacingTape Drive Ethernet Connectivity and the Ethernet Expansion BladeScalar i500 User’s Guide 464Required tools: None1 Access the back of the 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 onpage 463.3 Press up and out to open the latch hooks on each side of thereplacement 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.5 Evenly apply pressure to both ends of the FC I/O fan blade and slideit into the expansion module until the latch hooks begin to movetowards the middle of the blade. As you push in on the blade, youwill feel the blade pins connect with the expansion module’sbackplane.6 Push the latch hooks into the locked position.7 Save the library configuration (see Saving the Library Configurationon page 495).Tape Drive Ethernet Connectivity and the EthernetExpansion BladeLTO-5 and LTO-6 FC tape drives enable you to use tape drive Ethernetconnectivity for FIPS-certified key exchanges, tape drive log collection,tape drive firmware updates, and tape drive firmware autoleveling viaEthernet instead of via internal serial communication. This speeds upoperations and provides the security required for FIPS-certified keyexchanges. 5U libraries can access tape drive Ethernet connectivitydirectly via the library control blade. For libraries greater than 5U,Quantum provides the Ethernet Expansion blade, which facilitates directCaution: Forcing the blade into the bay can cause the pins tobend.
