3.4 Installing and Extracting the SBC
The ability to replace SBCs without affecting the operation of the chassis is a major
element of the PICMG AdvancedTCA standard. This Hot Swap functionality requires a
faceplate ejector handle designed to the PICMG specifications. The new handle has two
important functions:
•Activate the Hot Swap microswitch on the chassis. The handle does this by
sliding inward at the start of the extraction procedure.
•Operate within a narrow range of motion. The handle is designed to provide
clearance from other chassis components (cables, cable trays, PEMs, etc.) that
would otherwise interfere with handle movement in some installations. It also
allows clearance for AdvancedMCs to be installed or removed while the SBC is
operating in the chassis. This is accomplished through a ratcheting mechanism
where the handle is connected to the latching cam (See the illustration in
Section 3.4.1, “Chassis Installation”).
Please review the procedures below before attempting to install or remove the
MPCBL0010 SBC from an AdvancedTCA chassis.
