Insertion/Removal under Power

The CP308 is designed for use either as a CompactPCI system controller or as an autonomous
CPU board in a CompactPCI peripheral slot.
When installed in the system controller slot, the CP308 provides all required functions for sup-
porting the hot swapping of peripheral boards which are capable of being hot swapped. In this
configuration the CP308 itself is not hot-swappable.
When installed in a CompactPCI peripheral slot, the CP308 operates autonomously, meaning
that it only draws power from the CompactPCI backplane. There is no interfacing with the Com-
pactPCI bus, clocks or other control signals. In this configuration, the CP308 supports hot plug-
ging. This simply means that the board can be installed or removed from the system while
under power.
Warning!
Always ensure that all functions in progress are properly terminated or put into
a safe state prior to hot plugging the CP308.
Failure to comply with the above may result in improper operation or damage
to other system components, e.g. operating system failure, data loss, uncon-
trolled processing, etc.
Note ...
In order to use the hot plug function of the CP308, a hot swap-capable back-
plane is required.
3.4.1

Replacement under Power in Peripheral Slot

This procedure assumes that the system supports hot plugging, and that the replacement for
the board to be hot plugged is configured hardware- and software-wise for operation in the ap-
plication.
To replace the CP308 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 CP308 nor other system boards are physically damaged by
the application of these procedures.
2. Ensure that the board may be removed from the system.
Note ...
The performance of this step is a function of the application. Consult the
application description/procedure for determining when the CP308 board
may be removed from the system.
