Interface (DUPINT) board to the lowest possib le level above non-functional. This
diminishes the chance tha t an interchange will occ ur, but does not g uarantee
that an interchange will not occ ur. This command also turns off memor y
shadowing. Periodic an d scheduled testing

are not

turned off on busied out
objects, but warning alarms with error 18 are generated .
Busyo ut of t he st andb y SPE is allow ed if com munic atio n to t he sta ndb y is d own

When a b usyo ut of the st and by SPE is per forme d, t he sof tware stat e of he alth o f
the standby SPE is set to the lowest possible level and memory shadowing is
turned off. This is done to lessen the prob ability that the system will switch to the
standby SPE. However, in some cases a “spontaneous” (hard) interchang e of the
SPEs may still occur.
