6.2.2.2 Removing the Node Blade
This section describes how to remove the blade from an AdvancedTCA system.
Removal Procedure
The following procedure describes how to remove the blade from a system. It assumes that the
system is powered. If the system is unpowered, you can disregards the blue LED and thus skip
the respective step. In that case it is a purely mechanical procedure.
1. Unlatch the lower handle by squeezing the lever and the latch together and turning
the handle outward only enough to unlatch the handle from the face plate. Do not
rotate the handle fully outward.
The blue LED blinks indicating that the blade power-down process is ongoing.
After the blade has been inserted, you have to ensure that a boot image is either present on
the Artesyn switch or on the blade’s hard disk.
Damage of Circuits
Electrostatic discharge and incorrect blade installation and removal can damage circuits or
shorten their life.
Before touching the blade or electronic components, make sure that you are working in an
ESD-safe environment.
Blade Malfunctioning
Incorrect blade installation and removal can result in blade malfunctioning.
When plugging the blade in or removing it, do not press on the face plate but use the
handles.
