Standard Removal Procedures
To remove the board 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!
2. Ensure that no power is applied to the system before proceeding.
3. Disconnect any interfacing cables that may be connected to the board.
4. Unscrew the front panel retaining screws.
5. Disengage the board from the backplane by first unlocking the board ejection handles
and then by pressing the handles as required until the board is disengaged.
6. After disengaging the board from the backplane, pull the board out of the slot.
7. Dispose of the board as required.
3.4
Hot Swap Procedures
The CP6000 is designed for hot swap operation. When installed in the system slot it is capable
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 capabilities.
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 CP6000.
3.4.1
System Master Hot Swap
Hot swapping of the CP6000 itself when used as the system controller is possible, but will result
in any event in a cold start of the CP6000 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 documentation for ap-
plicable procedures for this case. In any event, the safety requirements above must be ob-
served.
Warning!
Care must be taken when applying the procedures below to ensure that
neither the CP6000 nor system boards are physically damaged by the
application of these procedures.
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.
