9.1Repacking the Fibre Channel Option

With the exception of Fibre Channel Options that are shipped from the factory in- stalled on libraries, the FCO was originally shipped in a specially-designed carton. When shipping the FCO, use the original shipping carton and packing materials. If the original shipping carton and packing materials are not available, order new ship- ping materials by calling Qualstar Technical Support.

Be sure to turn the library’s power off before installing or removing a Fibre Chan- nel Option.

Prepare the FCO for packing as follows:

1.Remove power from the TLS: first turn the power switch off and then remove the power cord.

2.If the FCO is connected the FC host or Hub, disconnect it.

3.Carefully remove the GBIC (gigabit interface converter) adapter from a type A FCO or the SFP (Small Form Factor Pluggable) adapter from a type C FCO. They are located in the bottom of the FCO. See Figure 9-1.Store the GBIC or SFP adapter in a safe location.
