Scalar i500 User's Guide
The library control blade (LCB) manages the entire library, including the

system tests to ensure that the library is functioning properly. The LCB
also provides internal communication to Fibre Channel (FC) I/O blade
slots. The LCB has four Ethernet ports, supporting a total of four FC I/O
blades in the library.
The LCB indicates its status with three LED Reliability, Availability, and
Serviceability (RAS) status indicators. These indicators are green, amber,
and blue in color.
