Removing Two IOCs
To remove both IOCs in a shelf, use the following procedure.
1. Save the contents of the Active IOC memory in the IMC by issuing the following
command.
CPY-MEM:::::IOC,IMC,IOC;
This command may take more than two seconds to execute; if it does, then the
In-Process response is issued. See the
TimeProvider TL1 Reference Guide
for
more information on the CPY-MEM command.
2. Issue the following TL1 command to take the Standby IOC out of service:
ED-EQPT::IOCm:::IOCSTATE=OOSRV;
where m is 1 or 2, and corresponds to the location of the Standby IOC (1 is the
left slot and 2 is the right slot).
3. Attach a wrist grounding strap and connect it to the TimeProvider chassis.
4. Loosen the captive retaining screws and pull out on them to unseat the IOC from
the shelf.
5. Place the IOC in a static-free bag or on a static-free surface.
6. Repeat Steps 2, 3, and 4 for the Active IOC.
7. Install new IOCs using the appropriate procedure in
Replacing the IOC
, on page
