Bent Pins or Other Damage
Bent pins or loose components can cause damage to the board,
the backplane, or other system components. Carefully inspect
your board and the backplane for both pin and component integrity
before installation. Our suppliers take significant steps to ensure
there are no bent pins on the backplane or connector damage to
the boards prior to leaving our factory. Bent pins caused by
improper installation or by boards with damaged connectors could
void the warranty for the backplane or boards.
If a system contains one or more crushed pins, power off the sys-
tem and contact your local sales representative to schedule deliv-
ery of a replacement chassis assembly.
Caution Areas
When first installing boards in an empty chassis or onto a
carrier board, we recommend that you start at the left of the
card cage and work to the right.
CAUTION:
When inserting or removing a board in a slot adjacent to
other boards, use extra caution to avoid damage to the pins
and components located on the primary or secondary sides
of the boards.
Preserving EMI Compliance
To preserve compliance with applicable standards and regulations
for electromagnetic interference (EMI), during operation all front
and rear openings on the chassis or board faceplates must be
filled with an appropriate card or covered with a filler panel. If the
EMI barrier is open, devices may cause or be susceptible to
excessive interference.
Understanding Hot Swap
Your AMC-7000 is electrically designed for hot swap within a fully
powered chassis. To facilitate hot swap, there is a blue LED on
the front faceplate. This LED is under software control.
If your system is using software that provides full hot swap capa-
bilities, the software will illuminate the blue hot swap LED on the
