9. Power on the system, if necessary. Refer to your system manual for instructions
on correctly powering on the system. Once power is applied to the chassis, the
internal MMC controller runs a self-test that runs for approximately 10 seconds.
Upon a successful power up self-test, the blue hot swap LED will blink and then
turn off, indicating that the module has been placed in operation.
2.9 Removing the ATCA carrier blade
The ATCA-S201 ATCA carrier blade is hot-swappable and can be removed from a
powered chassis. This section describes a recommended procedure for removing a
board module from a chassis.
Before you remove your module, please read all cautions, warnings, and instructions
presented in this section. Hot swap compliant modules may be removed while the
system is powered on. When the lower ejector handle is partially disengaged, a
mechanical switch will assert a signal to notify the IPMC to begin removal
preparations. The IPMC will blink the blue hot-swap LED as it transitions the module
to the appropriate power-down state. Upon completion and with permission from
the ShMC, The blue LED will illuminate steady ON. This is the only indication that
safe removal may commence. If the Blue LED is blinking or off, it is not ready for hot
plug.
To remove the ATCA module, follow these steps:
1. Loosen the locking screws on the rear transition module.
2. Rotate the lower ejector handle to the half way (HW) position. Do not remove
the module immediately.
3. If your host module running hot swap-aware software, the action of rotating
the ejector lever will start the shutdown process on the board. The software will
slowly blink the blue hot swap LED indicating the module is in the process of
being de-activated.
4. Once the module has been de-activated, the Blue LED will illuminate steady.
Once this is done you can extract the module by pulling on the module handle.
Note: Powering down or removing a board before the operating system or
other software running on the board has been properly shut down may cause
corruption of data or file systems.
5. When the blue LED is illuminated ON, removal of the ATCA carrier board may
proceed.
6. Carefully pull the module from the chassis.
7. If the card slot is to remain empty, install a filler panel in the slot.
