In order to release rack/slot disarm the following conditions must be met:
•
Rack disarm shall not be released until the rack is configured properly and is
running with a correct firmware. Be sure to read "Disarm" chapter and
"Protection Firmware Update" chapter thoroughly and understand them.
•
Slot disarm shall not be released until the protection module and the
associated relay module are configured properly and are running with a correct
firmware. Be sure to read "Disarm" chapter and "Protection Firmware Update"
chapter thoroughly and understand them.
•
Evaluate circuit faults with the diagnostic command "cf" before rack/slot
disarm is released. Be sure to read "Circuit Faults (cf)" chapter thoroughly and
understand it.
•
Evaluate channel alarms after a configuration update but before disarm is
released to avoid unwanted alert/danger alarms triggered upon arm of
channel/rack/slot.
•
Note: A premature release of rack/slot disarm may cause a missing or invalid
configuration, which would be indicated as a circuit fault.
In order to perform hot-swap, the following conditions must be met: (See
section Hot-swap for proper procedures)
•
The rack must be set in rack disarm mode before the hot-swap procedure
takes place. Be sure to read "Disarm" chapter thoroughly and understand it.
•
After the hot-swap but before the rack/slot disarm is released, user must
ensure that the rack/protection module and the associated relay module are
properly configured. Be sure to read "Protection Configuration Update" chapter
thoroughly and understand it. Evaluate circuit faults with the diagnostic
command "cf" as described in chapter "Circuit Faults (cf)".
•
After the hot-swap but before the rack/slot disarm is released, user must
ensure that the rack/protection module and the associated relay module are
running with a correct firmware. Be sure to read "Protection Firmware Update"
chapter thoroughly and understand it. It is always recommended to check with
the diagnostic command "intd0" that the correct firmware is running on all
protection MCUs. Evaluate circuit faults with the diagnostic command "cf" as
described in chapter "Circuit Faults (cf)".
•
In case of hot-swap of a power supply unit, be sure to read "Power Supply"
chapter thoroughly and understand it.
DIP switch settings must be handled with a special care to prevent any damage
to the IMx-M rack:
•
Do NOT change DIP switch settings while the IMx-M rack is powered-up, as
this may cause damage and void warranty.
•
Before powering up the IMx-M rack, make sure that DIP switch settings are
properly set to match the recommendations for the connected sensors.
Incorrect settings may cause permanent damage to the IMx-M rack.
