Installing the Ethernet Expansion Blade

7

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 port marked “LOWER.” The “LOWER” port is on the right. 

See 

Figure 1

 on page 2. You must do this BEFORE placing the Ethernet 

Expansion blade into the library. 

• Tape drives connected to an Ethernet Expansion blade must not be 

connected to an FC I/O blade. Instead, connect them to a host or switch.
