Module Installation and Removal
Product Malfunctioning
Incorrect product installation and removal can result in product malfunctioning.
When plugging the product in or removing it, do not press on the face plate but use
the handles.
Limitation of Operating Temperature Range
Installing AMC modules with small operating temperature ranges onto the blade
may further restrict the operating temperature range of the blade.
Make sure that the operating temperature of any installed AMC modules and the
blade as a bundle are within allowed limits.
Installation Procedure
This procedure describes how to install an AMC module into an AMC bay of the base
board. This procedure assumes that the AMC module is being hot-inserted, meaning the
base board is powered. The procedure for the cold insertion, meaning the base board is
not powered, is the same except you do not wait for the blue LED indications to proceed.
1. Make sure you are in an ESD-safe environment.
2. Identify the AMC bay to be used for the installation.
NOTE: If the required AMC bay is occupied by an AMC filler panel, remove the filler panel
before proceeding with the installation procedure. The removal procedure for the
filler panel is the same as described in the
steps that mention the blue LED.
3. Make sure the AMC module handle is in the extracted position: pulled outward, away
from the face plate.
4. Using your thumb, apply equal and steady pressure on the face plate as necessary to
carefully slide the AMC module into the guides rails.
5. Continue to gently push the module along the guide rails till the module is fully engaged
with the connector. Avoid using excessive force during this operation.
6. Wait for the blue LED to glow. The blue LED glows when the AMC module is completely
engaged with the connector.
7. Press module handle inwards toward the face plate to lock the AMC module on AMC
bay.
8. Wait for the blue LED to perform a series of long blinks. The blue LED blinks when the
handle is locked in position indicating module detection and activation by the carrier
board.
9. Observe blue LED status/activity. The module is fully installed when the blue LED stops
blinking and stays OFF.
