• Each FC I/O blade is accompanied by a fan blade that cools the FC
I/O blade. The fan blade is installed to the right of the FC I/O blade
in the 9U Library Expansion Module. Each 9U Library Expansion
Module has four bays and can accommodate two FC I/O blades and
two fan blades. Figure 40 shows the FC I/O blade and fan blade
installed in the 9U Library Expansion Module. For instructions on
installing the fan blade, see Adding, Removing, and Replacing the FC
I/O Fan Blade on page 370.
• The recommended order of installing the FC I/O blade and fan blade
in any 9U Library Expansion Module is starting from the bottom two
bays and moving up.
