The CPCI-6020 does not support a hot swap LED. You may need to manually shut down
applications or operating systems running on the board prior to board removal.
Refer to the documents listed in
Appendix A,
Related Documentation
for more information
about hot swap and the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG) Hot Swap
Specification.

Recognize Different Injector/Ejector Lever Types
The modules you install may have different ejector handles and latching mechanisms. The
following illustration shows the typical board ejector handles used with ECC payload cards: (A)
Elma Latching, (B) Rittal Type II, (C) Rittal Type IV. All handles are compliant with the
CompactPCI specification and are designed to meet the IEEE1101.10 standards.
Each lever type has a latching mechanism to prevent the lever from being opened accidentally.
You must press the lever release before you can open the lever.
Never force the lever.
If the
lever does not open easily, you may not have pressed firmly enough on the release. If the lever
does not close easily, the board may not be properly seated in the chassis.
z
To open a lever, press the release and move the lever outward away from the face plate.
z
To close a lever, move the lever inward toward the face plate until the latch engages.
Data Loss
Powering down or removing a board before the operating system or other software
running on the board has been properly shut down may cause corruption of data or
file systems.
Make sure all software is completely shut down before removing power from the
board or removing the board from the chassis.
