7.6.2 Replacing an existing board
The procedure presented below assumes that an existing board is to be removed from the system and
a  replacement  board  (of  the  same  or  different type) is to  be  installed  in  the  same  slot  in  the  system
cabinet.
Note:
Hot  swap  is  forbidden  in  OXO  Connect  Compact.  It  is  also  forbidden  for  PowerCPU  EE  boards  in  all
systems.
1. If a hot swap is not possible, stop the system and disconnect it from the mains power supply.
2. Locate  the  existing  board  to  be  removed  in  the  cabinet  and  unscrew  the  securing  screw  from  its
end-plate.
3. Taking anti-static precautions (for example, by wearing a grounded wrist strap), pull the board out of
its slot.
4. Taking anti-static precautions, pick up the replacement board and plug it into the now vacant slot.
5. Secure the end-plate of the board to the cabinet with the screw provided.
6. If  you  have  stopped  and  powered  down  the  system,  reconnect  it  to  the  mains  power  supply  and
restart it.
7. Perform any configuration and/or tests required for the replacement board.
Note:
Following  configuration  in  the  OMC  tool,  you  may  be  required  to  perform  a  warm  reset  of  the  system  for  the
configuration changes to take effect. In this case, the software will prompt you to perform the warm reset.
7.7 MSDB replacement
When  the  eMMC  device  is  about  to  reach  the  end  of  its  life,  a  history  event  (urgent  alarm  type)  is
updated in the hardware anomaly table of OMC. In that case:
• If  the  existing  MSDB  is  readable,  MSDB  must  be  replaced  and  migration  must  be  done  with  the
customer configuration/data using OMC and LoLa
• If  the  existing  MSDB  is  not  readable  and  the  data  are  lost,  MSDB  must  be  replaced  and  LoLa
installation is required
The event 37: MSDB health status is generated once a week with the following error cases updated in
the comp info:
• Value 01 - Device has reached >= 80% of its life time due to increased block erase count
• Value 02 - Device has reached > =90% of its life time due to increased block erase count
• Value 03 - Device has reached >=80% of its life time due to increased bad block
• Value 04 - Device has reached >=90% of its life time due to increased bad block
7.8 RAM replacement
When a 256 MB RAM is installed on the PowerCPU EE, the history event 38: Unsupported RAM size
(urgent  alarm  type)  is  updated  in  the  hardware  anomaly  table  of  OMC  at  each  initialization  of  the
system.
In that case, the unsupported RAM must be replaced with the supported 512 MB RAM.
