3.3

Standard Removal Procedures

To remove the board proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the safety requirements indicated in Chapter 3.1 are observed. Particular at-
tention must be paid to the warning regarding the heat sink!
Warning!
Care must be taken when applying the procedures below to ensure that
neither the CP6500-V nor system boards are physically damaged by the
application of these procedures.
2. Ensure that no power is applied to the system before proceeding.
3. Disconnect any interfacing cables that may be connected to the board.
4. Unscrew the front panel retaining screws.
Warning!
Due care should be exercised when handling the board due to the fact that
the heat sink can get very hot. Do not touch the heat sink when changing
the board.
5. Disengage the board from the backplane by first unlocking the board ejection handles
and then by pressing the handles as required until the board is disengaged.
6. After disengaging the board from the backplane, pull the board out of the slot.
7. Dispose of the board as required.
3.4 Hot Swap Procedures
The CP6500-V is designed for hot swap operation. When installed in the system slot it is capa-
ble of supporting peripheral board hot swapping. When installed in a peripheral slot, its hot
swap capabilities depend on the type of backplane in use and the system controller's capabil-
ities. The reason for this being that communications with the system controller requires either
front panel Ethernet I/O or use of a packet switching backplane. In any event, hot swap is also
a function of the application running on the CP6500-V.
3.4.1 System Master Hot Swap
Hot swapping of the CP6500-V itself when used as the system controller is possible, but will
result in any event in a cold start of the CP6500-V and consequently a reinitialization of all pe-
ripheral boards. Exactly what transpires in such a situation is a function of the application and
is not addressed in this manual. The user must refer to appropriate application documentation
for applicable procedures for this case. In any event, the safety requirements above must be
observed.
