Installation procedure for cards
INSTALLATION
The behaviour of the CPUM card after it detects a change of configuration for a card depends
on:
• The version of the CPUM card’s firmware.
• And for CPUM firmware version 067 or later – the setting of the CPUM’s configuration
master parameter.
See 8.4.2.1 CPUM cards running firmware version 066 or earlier and 8.4.2.2 CPUM cards
running firmware version 067 or later for further information.
8.4.2.6.4 Reading the configuration of a card
The following procedure can be used:
1- Disconnect the front-end components (that is, transducer, signal conditioner, probe and
cables) from the rack by unfastening the connectors on the IOC4T or IOC8T card
installed in slot nn.
2- Insert into slot nn the MPC4 or AMC8 card whose configuration you want to read.
3- Use the VM600 MPSx software to read the configuration of the card in slot nn (see
example in Figure 8-4, in which the card in slot 3 is selected).
4- Modify the card configuration if necessary using the VM600 MPSx software.
5- Reconnect the front-end components to the connectors on the IOC4T or IOC8T card
installed in slot nn.
Problems can occur if a card taken from slot nn of rack x is inserted into
slot nn of rack y, as slot nn can be used for totally different functions in
each rack.
This form of hot swapping should be avoided unless you are certain that
the cards in slot nn of each rack have exactly the same configuration.
More generally, if you do not know how a card is configured, you should not
install it before finding its configuration as stated in 8.4.2.6.4 Reading the
configuration of a card.
