1
Access the back of the expansion module containing the FC I/O
blade.
2
Tag and disconnect all FC cables from the FC I/O blade.
3
Lift the latch hooks out of the locked position and push them up. You
will feel the FC I/O blade unplug from the expansion module’s
backplane.
4
Continue lifting on the latch hooks until the blade is totally
unplugged from the backplane.

Slide the FC I/O blade out of the expansion module.
Caution:
Bays that are not populated with blades must
contain a cover plate. If the cover plate is not
installed, FC I/O blade temperature errors will
occur.
Note:
The library will generate a RAS ticket when you remove the
I/O blade. If you do not want the library to generate a RAS
ticket, you can power down the I/O blade before removing it.
