Peripheral Hot Swap Procedure

This procedure assumes that the board to be hot swapped has undergone an initial board in-
stallation and is already installed in an operating system, and that the system supports hot
swapping of the board.
To hot swap the CP6500-V 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 other system boards are physically damaged
by the application of these procedures.
2. Unlock both board ejection handles ensuring that the bottom handle has activated the hot
swap switch (this occurs with a very small amount of movement of the handle).
Note ...
What transpires at this time is a function of the application. If hot swap is
supported by the application, then the blue HS LED should light up after a
short time period. This indicates that the system has recognized that the
CP6500-V is to be hot swapped and now indicates to the operator that hot
swapping of the CP6500-V may proceed.
If the blue HS LED does not light up after a short time period, either the
system does not support hot swap or a malfunction has occurred. In this
event, the application is responsible for handling this situation and must
provide the operator with appropriate guidance to remedy the situation.
3. After approximately 1 to 15 seconds, the blue HS LED should light up. If the LED lights
up, proceed with the next step of this procedure. If the LED does not light up, refer to ap-
propriate application documentation for further action.
4. Disconnect any interfacing cables that may be connected to the board.
5. 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.
6. Using the ejector handles, disengage the board from the backplane and carefully remove
it from the system.
7. Dispose of the "old" board as required observing the safety requirements indicated in
Chapter 3.1.
