Diagnosing the IOC

Replacing the Only IOC

To replace the only IOC in a shelf, use the following procedure. Output signals will resume once the IOC has achieved lock on an input signal. This procedure assumes that you have stored the contents of the IOC memory in the IMC using the CPY-MEM command.

1.Attach a wrist grounding strap and connect it to the TimeProvider chassis.

2.Install the IOC into the shelf and tighten the captive retaining screws.

3.Copy the contents of the IOC memory stored in the IMC by issuing the following command.

CPY-MEM:::::IMC,IOC,IOC;

This command may take more than two seconds to execute; if it does, then the In-Process response is issued. See the TimeProvider TL1 Reference Guide for more information on the CPY-MEM command.

If you have not stored the contents of the IOC memory in the IMC, then provision the IOC using the procedures and commands described in Chapter 4, Provisioning the TimeProvider.

4. Wait for the IOC to reboot and qualify the reference inputs.

Replacing a Redundant IOC

To replace either of two IOCs in a shelf, use the following procedure. Output signals will not be affected by this procedure. You can also use this procedure to add an IOC to a shelf that has only one IOC.

1.Install the IOC into the shelf and tighten the captive retaining screws.

2.Wait for the IOC to reboot and qualify the reference inputs. During this time the Active IOC updates the new IOC’s memory with current values.

Replacing Both IOCs

Use this procedure to replace both IOCs in a shelf. Output signals will resume when the Active IOC has warmed up and qualified the reference signals. This procedure assumes that you have stored the contents of the IOC memory in the IMC using the CPY-MEM command.

1.Attach a wrist grounding strap and connect it to the TimeProvider chassis.

2.Install the IOC into the left slot of the shelf and tighten the captive retaining screws. This IOC will become the Active IOC.

3.Wait for the IOC to reboot.
