NOTE:
The Library Extender receives power from the Libraries; it does not have its own power cord or power
button.
Allow the extended library to come to the Ready state. This may take several minutes.
Checking the Extender LEDs
All three Extender LEDs will be green when the Extender is installed correctly and functional. Check
the LEDs on the Extender in the locations shown in Figure 29, page 41 to verify that the Extender is
