Library firmware monitors all FC I/O blades after they are installed in
the library. Once an FC I/O blade is installed, the library expects the
blade to be in the same installed location after every power cycle.

library, the library firmware must be configured to stop monitoring the
blade. Administrators can perform this operation by selecting the FC I/O
blade and performing the remove blade operation on the
screen. If this is not done and the library continues to
Blade Control
monitor a removed FC I/O blade, RAS tickets could be generated.
You do not need to configure the library to stop monitoring an FC I/O
blade if the failed blade is replaced with a new blade. For instructions on
how to remove and replace an FC I/O Blade, see

want to proceed.
