MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
(2) Replacing the card
The AMC8 can be hot swapped, therefore it is not necessary to switch off (or disconnect) the
rack power before replacing this type of card.
If the VM600 rack contains a CPUM card, the configuration for slot nn will be downloaded
from the CPUM to the new AMC8 card once it has been installed in slot nn.
While the configuration is being downloaded into the new AMC8, the card’s DIAG/STATUS
indicator will blink green. It will become green (continuous) once the configuration process
has been completed (see 5.11 Operation of LEDs on AMC8 panel).
(3) Checking the card after replacement
Once the new card has been configured, it is advisable to check its status using the VM600
MPSx software. Follow the same steps as described above in (1) Before replacing a card.
14.5.2.7 IOC4T card
The IOC4T card can be hot swapped, therefore it is not necessary to switch off (or
disconnect) the rack power before replacing this type of card.
The replacement IOC4T card must have exactly the same hardware configuration (jumper
settings) as the original (suspect) IOC4T card.
14.5.2.8 IOC8T card
The IOC8T card can be hot swapped, therefore it is not necessary to switch off (or
disconnect) the rack power before replacing this type of card.
The replacement IOC8T card must have exactly the same hardware configuration (jumper
settings) as the original (suspect) IOC8T card.
14.5.2.9 RLC16 card
The RLC16 card can be hot swapped, therefore it is not necessary to switch off (or
disconnect) the rack power before replacing this type of card.
The replacement RLC16 card must have exactly the same hardware configuration (jumper
settings) as the original (suspect) RLC16 card.
Before “hot swapping” an IOC4T card, the associated MPC4 card in the
corresponding slots in the front of the rack must be disconnected from the
rack’s backplane.
Before “hot swapping” an IOC8T card, the associated AMC8 card in the
corresponding slots in the front of the rack must be disconnected from the
rack’s backplane.
