If your system does not have hot swap-aware software running, behavior
of the blue LED may be indeterminate. In this case, you may need to
manually shut down applications or operating systems running on the
board prior to board removal, even if the blue LED is lit.
!
Caution
Powering down or removing a board before the operating system or other
software running on the board has been properly shut down may cause
corruption of data or file systems.
Refer to the documents listed in
Appendix C, Related Documentation
for
more information about hot swap and the PCI Industrial Computer
Manufacturers Group (PICMG) Hot Swap Specification.
Recognize Different Injector/Ejector Lever Types
The modules you install may have different ejector handles and latching
mechanisms. The following illustration shows the typical board ejector
handles used with MCG payload cards: (A) Elma Latching, (B) Rittal Type
II, (C) Rittal Type IV. All handles are compliant with the CompactPCI
specification and are designed to meet the IEEE1101.10 standards.
Figure 1-3. Injector/Ejector Lever Types
Each lever type has a latching mechanism to prevent the lever from being
opened accidentally. You must press the lever release before you can open
the lever. Never force the lever. If the lever does not open easily, you may
not have pressed firmly enough on the release. If the lever does not close
easily, the board may not be properly seated in the chassis.
