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.

2.9Removing 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.
