Replace a power interface module (PIM) to restore back-up power to a shelf
cage.
• "Prerequisites to PIM replacement" (page 214)
• "PIM replacement task flow" (page 214)
• Each PIM has terminations for the SCB (HSCX bus) and clock
distribution such that disconnecting a PIM can affect the software
system. Terminations are spread across the PIMs to ensure that removing
one will not affect the redundant pairs. Replace the PIM during a period
of lowest traffic to minimize the impact on clock distribution.
This task flow shows the sequence of procedures you do to replace a PIM. To
link any procedure, go to "Task flow navigation" (page 213).
