Hot Swap Procedures
The CP6003-SA is designed for hot swap operation. When installed in the system slot, it is ca-
pable 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 CP6003-SA.
3.4.1
System Master Hot Swap
Hot swapping of the CP6003-SA itself when used as the system controller is possible, but will
result in any event in a cold start of the CP6003-SA and consequently a reinitialization of all
peripheral 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 documen-
tation for applicable procedures for this case. In any event, the safety requirements above must
be observed.
3.4.2
Peripheral Hot Swap Procedure
This procedure assumes that the system supports hot swapping, and that the replacement for
the board to be hot swapped is configured hardware- and software-wise for operation in the
application.
To hot swap the CP6003-SA 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 CP6003-SA 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
CP6003-SA is to be hot swapped and now indicates to the operator that
hot swapping of the CP6003-SA 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.
