Removing/Replacing the CPU Module (3CPU16)  

 

DANGER

 

Ensure the RTU is in a non-hazardous area. Never open the enclosure in a hazardous 
area.   

 

 

DANGER

 

EXPLOSION HAZARD: Ensure the area in which you perform this operation is non-
hazardous. Performing this operation in a hazardous area could result in an explosion.  

 

 

DANGER

 

Switch the process this RTU controls over to whatever manual/backup system you 
have.  

 

 CAUTION

 

Backup data before you begin because replacing the CPU module may result in loss of 
configuration data, alarms, events, and history.  

 
1.

 

Backup data in the CPU (See

 

Section 5.9 

and 

Section 5.10

2.

 

Remove power from the FB3000. 

3.

 

Depress the orange tabs at the top and bottom of the CPU module to release the 
module and slide it straight out of the slot.
