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.
2.
Wait until the blue LED is illuminated permanently, then unlatch the upper handle
and rotate both handles fully outward.
3.
Remove face plate cables, if applicable.
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.
If the LED continues to blink, a possible reason may be that upper layer software rejects
the blade extraction request.
Data Loss
Removing the blade with the blue LED still blinking causes data loss.
Wait until the blue LED is permanently illuminated, before removing the blade.
