3. Disconnect any interfacing cables that may be connected to the board.
4. Using minimal force, disengage the board from the AMC carrier/backplane connector by
pulling on the extractor/locking handle until the board is disengaged.
5. After disengaging the board from the AMC carrier/backplane
connector, pull the board
out of the slot.
6. Dispose of the board as required.

AM4100 Hot Swap Procedures
The AM4100 is designed for hot swap operation. Hot swapping allows the coordinated extrac-
tion and insertion of modules without disrupting other operational elements within the system.
This allows for identified faulty elements to be removed and replaced without taking the carrier
card out of service that will typically be hosting other modules.
3.4.1
Hot Swap Extraction Procedures
To extract the board proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the safety requirements indicated in section 3.1 are observed. Particular at-
tention must be paid to the warning regarding the heat sink.
2. The board’s extractor/locking handle has three positions: retracted (locked), mid-position
(hot swap microswitch disengaged), and extended (unlocked). During operation the han-
dle is in the retracted position. In this position, the board is locked into the chassis/carrier
and the hot swap microswitch is engaged.
To initiate hot swapping of the board, move the extractor/locking handle to the mid-posi-
tion. Now, the following steps occur:
1. The BLUE HS LED begins to blink at short intervals
•
When the carrier IPMI controller receives the handle opened event, the carrier
sends a command to the MMC with a request to perform short blinking of the
BLUE HS LED. This indicates to the operator that the AM4100 is waiting to be
deactivated.
•
Now the AM4100 waits for a permission from higher-level management (Shelf
Manager or System Manager) to proceed with its deactivation.
•
Once the AM4100 receives the permission to continue the deactivation, all used
ports are disabled.
Warning!
Due care should be exercised when handling the board due to the fact that
the heat sink can get very hot. Do not touch the heat sink when removing
the board.
Warning!
Care must be taken when applying the procedures below to ensure that
neither the AM4100 nor other carrier boards are physically damaged by
the application of these procedures.
