Motorola CPCI-6020 manual Watch for Bent Pins or Other Damage, Understanding Hot Swap

Hardware Preparation and Installation Watch for Bent Pins or Other Damage

2.12.1Watch for Bent Pins or Other Damage

Product Damage

Bent pins or loose components can cause damage to the board, the backplane or other system components.

Carefully inspect your board and the backplane for both pin and component integrity before installation.

ECC and our suppliers take significant steps to ensure there are no bent pins on the backplane or connector damage to the boards prior to leaving our factory. Bent pins caused by improper installation or by boards with damaged connectors could void the ECC warranty for the backplane or boards.

If a system contains one or more crushed pins, power off the system and contact your local sales representative to schedule delivery of a replacement chassis assembly.

2.12.2Use Caution When Installing or Removing Boards

Product Damage

Bent pins or loose components can cause damage to the board, the backplane or other system components.

Carefully inspect your board and the backplane for both pin and component integrity before installation.

When first installing boards in an empty chassis, we recommend that you start at the left of the card cage and work to the right when cards are vertically aligned; in horizontally aligned cages, work from bottom to top.

When inserting or removing a board in a slot adjacent to other boards, use extra caution to avoid damage to the pins and components located on the primary or secondary sides of the boards.

2.12.3Understanding Hot Swap

The PICMG 2.1 Hot Swap specification defines varying levels of hot swap. A board that is compliant with the specification can be inserted and removed safely with system power on without damage to on-board circuitry. If a module is not hot swap compliant, you should

remove power to the slot or system before inserting or removing the module.
