The Compact Flash Card is new and has never been initialized. It contains
only a minimal level of library firmware which allows the library to boot
up and display an Upgrade Notification message. Once you install the
LCB/compact flash card, you will need to upgrade firmware and
reconfigure your network settings.

If possible, save the library configuration (see

Disconnect all cables from the existing LCB. You may want to label
each cable that is connected to the existing LCB to make sure that you
can correctly reconnect them to the new LCB.

Remove the existing LCB from the library.
To remove the existing LCB, release both of the LCB latch hooks and,
