Replacing an Ethernet Expansion Blade

These instructions explain how to install the replacement blade in the library.

1

Remove the new Ethernet Expansion blade from the protective anti-static 

bag.

2

Press up and out to open the latch hooks on each side of the blade. Hold the 

Ethernet Expansion blade upright, with the latch hooks on the left side, and 
the status LEDs at the bottom (see 

Figure 2

 on page 3).

3

Carefully align the Ethernet Expansion blade with the guide slots in the bay. 

Caution:

Forcing the blade into the bay can cause the pins to bend.

4

Evenly apply pressure to both sides of the blade and slide it into the 

expansion module until the latch hooks begin to move toward the middle of 

the blade. Push the latch hooks toward the middle of the blade and into the 

locked position. You will feel the blade pins connect with the expansion 

module’s backplane as the blade locks into place.
