2. When the card has almost reached the backplane connectors, open
the two ejectors, allowing them to clear the edges of the matrix.
Gently insert the card further until it touches the backplane
connector guides.
3. Gently close both ejector tabs at the same time, which will propel the
card into the backplane connectors.
To remove a CPU card from the matrix
1. Two card ejector tabs, located at the top and bottom of the CPU
card, hold the card in place in the matrix. To remove a card, open
the two ejector tabs at the same time until the card unseats from its
backplane connectors.
2. Pull the card out of the matrix.
HOT PATCHING
The CPU cards are “hot patchable” and “self initializing.” When the
matrix is fitted with two CPU cards, a faulty CPU card can be removed
and replaced while the system is powered because the second CPU
card will automatically begin operating when the first card is removed.
Sometimes re-inserting a CPU card can reset the matrix. It is advisable
to replace CPU cards during maintenance down times.
