We have a LTO4 and 5 drive in the same library and currently using all LTO4 tapes. If I wanted to introduce LTO5 tapes in LTO5 drive, what needs to be configured on Backup Exec 2010 R3?

I presume that you have an additional LEO licence because you have both drive working properly in your library.
To use LTO5 tapes in your library, you would have to set up barcode rules. This is because your LTO4 tape drive cannot read/write LTO5 tapes. The barcode rules will prevent this from happening. See my article below on how to setup your barcode rules
