7.2 Board Battery Maintenance
It is recommended  that the batteries  in the PowerCPU EE boards  should be replaced  by batteries of
the  same  type  every  two  years.  Dead  batteries  must  be  disposed  of  according  to  the  battery
manufacturer's instructions.
7.3 Maintenance of Ventilation System
At the same time as replacing the batteries, clean the system ventilation holes using a brush or a lint-
free cloth.
When  a  fan  fails,  only  the  T0/T2  external  digital  accesses  and  the  first  two  interfaces  of  the  digital
stations remain operational.
7.4 Replacing the CPU Board
When a CPU is faulty, a spare CPU with same traffic capacity has to be identified and the faulty CPU
isolated from the network (OmniSwitch configuration).
The  DHCP  configuration  has  to  be  updated  to  give  the  IP  parameters  of  the  faulty  CPU  to  the  new
CPU and the configuration save (done with the AST) restored to this new CPU (refer to section 13 for
restore restrictions).
Once  the  configuration  restored,  the  CPU  will  be  up  and  running  and  the  telephony  services  again
available.
The license of the old CPU will be operational for 30 days but a new license has to be requested for the
new CPU ID.
7.5 Replacing the Chassis
If a failure on the master CPU or a hardware failure of the chassis leads to a dysfunction of all the CPU
of the chassis, the CPU is individually seen as faulty.
In that case, the procedure of single CPU replacement must be applied to all the faulty CPUs.
7.6 Adding and Replacing Interface Boards
This  section  describes  how  to  add  an  interface  board  into  a  vacant  slot  in  the  system  and  how  to
replace an existing board with a new one.
Note:
Always take anti-static precautions when handling boards. Before coming into direct physical contact with
a board, make  sure you touch a  grounded metal surface  to  remove static charge  from your body. When
holding a board, always wear a grounding device such as a grounded wrist strap, and do not touch board
components that are sensitive to static charge.
Before  attempting  board  installation/exchange,  note  the  following  system  rules  concerning  the
detection of boards:
• A detected board is considered to be PRESENT
• A  PRESENT  board  can  be  ACCEPTED  or  REFUSED,  depending  on  the  system  dimensioning
criteria
