Then, slowly slide the compact flash card out of the guide slots.

Carefully lift the compact flash card out of the LCB board.
4. If you are installing a new LCB, continue by transferring the old CF to the new
LCB. If you are installing a new CF card, continue by installing the new CF
card in the old LCB. In either case, install the appropriate compact flash card to
the LCB board you are installing with the label up, and pins aligned. Without
touching any other components on the LCB board, carefully grasp the compact
flash card, and slowly slide it into the guide slots. Continue to push the
compact flash card into the guide slots until the pins start to connect. Then
hold the LCB board metal connector shield (

in Figure 8-51 on page 8-49)
with one hand and push the compact flash card into the connector with your
other hand. The compact flash card should be firmly seated against the
connector (

in Figure 8-51 on page 8-49).
Note: The card is properly connected when no gold pins are visible.
Replacing the Library Control Blade (LCB)
Important: When handling the LCB, you must wear an ESD anti-static wrist
strap, or touch the library frame to discharge any static electricity in
your body. Do not handle the LCB without taking appropriate ESD
precautions. DO NOT touch any components on the LCB firmware
board (see Figure 8-50 on page 8-48). Hold it by the metal cover and
support it by the metal ground plane only.
1. Locate the empty LCB slot on the rear panel of the control module (CM). Then,
carefully line up the new LCB board along the guide slots, and gently slide it
into the control module until the connector seats.
Important: As the LCB begins to slide into the control module, be sure to
support the circuit board from underneath, being careful to touch
only the metal cover and the ground plane along the bottom
edge.
2. Grasp the pair of latches near the top and bottom of the LCB (

in
Figure 8-52 on page 8-51) by pushing them in until they click into place.
