8.4.2.5 Which card types can be hot swapped?
It is necessary to power down the ABE04x rack before inserting or removing any of the
following elements:
•CPUM
• RPS6U, in racks employing a single power supply.
The following elements have “hot swapping” capability, that is, they can be removed from and
inserted into the MPS rack while it is powered up (a technique sometimes referred to as “live
insertion”):
• MPC4 and its associated IOC4T card (see 8.4.2.6 Hot swapping MPC4 and AMC8
cards, and the IRC4 card)
• AMC8 and its associated IOC8T card (see 8.4.2.6 Hot swapping MPC4 and AMC8
cards, and the IRC4 card)
• RLC16
• RPS6U.
A single RPS6U rack power supply can be replaced in racks employing two such power
supplies to support rack power supply redundancy (see 2.10.5 Racks with two RPS6U
rack power supplies in order to support rack power supply redundancy).
Before “hot swapping” a card in the rear of a VM600 rack, any associated
processing card in the corresponding slots in the front of the rack must be
disconnected from the rack’s backplane.
See 14.6.2 Replacing a suspect card.
