Removal and Installation of Boards

The following instructions cover the removal and installation of boards. There are additional
considerations to working with Chassis Management Modules, which are covered in

Section 3.1,

“Working with Chassis Management Modules” on page 33

Note:

The ZT 5085 supports hot-swap with compatible boards, in non-system slots. The ZT 5085
contains multi-purpose slots at slots 9-12 that can operate as system slots (see

Section 1.4,

“Configuration Options” on page 12

for details). Per the CompactPCI* specification, you must

have a system slot board installed in each system slot whenever power is enabled as the system slot
board provides termination, clocks, reset, and arbitration for its CompactPCI bus. For this reason,
the CompactPCI specifications do not support hot-swap in system slots.

Note:

Installing or removing a board from system master slots (9, 10, 11, and 12), could cause boards in
associated Peripheral Slots to reset. Certain boards can be configured to ignore the cPCI* reset
signals, operating in what is known as “Drone Mode”. Some boards manufactured by Intel support
this “Drone Mode”. Intel will support the development of third party “Drone Mode” boards.

Refer to board documentation to determine if the board supports hot swap. If the board does not
support hot swap, disable chassis power prior to installing or removing the board.

Note:

For ease of installation when fully loading the system, Intel recommends filling slot 11 first, then
working outward to fill each odd-numbered slot, and finally filling slot 10 and working outward to
fill each even-numbered slot.

Caution:

Processor boards may contain a socketed lithium battery. This battery is not a field-replaceable
unit. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced or handled. Do not
disassemble or recharge the battery. Do not dispose of the battery in fire. When the battery is
replaced, the same type or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer must be used.
Used batteries must be disposed of according to the manufacturer's instructions. Return the
processor board to the manufacturer for battery service.

3.2.1.1

Installing a Board

The following steps cover the mechanical aspects of installing boards into the ZT 5085 chassis.

1. Determine if your board/slot combination supports hot swap. If the combination does not

support hot swap, disable chassis power prior to proceeding.

2. Prepare the board by opening the injector/ejector mechanisms (refer to

Figure 16, “Injector/

Ejector Operation (Board-Level Components)” on page 33

3. Carefully align the edges of the board with the card guides in the appropriate slot. It may be

helpful to look into the enclosure to verify correct alignment of the rails in the guides.

4. Taking care to keep the board aligned in the guides, slide the board in until the injector/ejector

mechanisms engage the retention bars.
