Instructions

12

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.

1

If possible, save the library configuration (see

Saving the Library

Configuration

on page 385).

2

Power off the library.

3

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.

4

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

using the latch hooks as handles, pull the entire LCB toward you.

Note:

Do not separate the old compact flash card from the library

control blade.
