Adding Fibre
Channel or Remote Management Cards
CAUTION: This library contains very sensitive electrical components.
It is important to follow the proper procedures to prevent electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Use wrist-grounding straps and antistatic mats when removing
and replacing cards and major assemblies.
Failure to follow proper procedures could lead to intermittent failures
or premature hard failure.
CAUTION: The Fibre Channel printed circuit boards may contain a laser
system (GBIC or GLM module) that is classified as a "Class I Laser
Product" under a US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
Radiation Performance standard according to the Radiation Control for Health
and Safety Act of 1968 and EN60825-1(+ALL) safety of laser products. The
compliance statement is located on the module.
NOTE: Before powering the library off to
remove a card from the library, review the LEDs on the back of each card
to ensure there is no activity. See Figure 1. "Library
Card Positions" and "Library LEDs".

To add a card to the library:
Power off the library.
Select the appropriate location for the card, and remove the vacant slot
cover(if applicable) (see Figure 1. "Library
Card Positions").
Align the top and bottom edges of the card you are adding with the card
slot.
Gently push the card into the library until the card is flush with the library.
Tighten the thumbscrews (finger tight).
Connect external cable(s).
Power on the library.
NOTE: If the new card has a different version
of firmware than the rest of the library, the library could go into a partial
availability state due to a firmware mismatch. When this occurs, the front
panel will display Partly Available, and the LED bar beneath the front panel
display will be solid amber. If this occurs, download the most recent library
firmware (see "Upgrading
Firmware"). See "Checking
the Firmware Version" to determine current firmware version.
If installing Fibre Channel or remote management cards, configure the new
card from the library front panel. See "Configuring
the Library" for more information.
