Before you remove your module, please read all cautions, warnings and instructions presented
in this section and the guidelines explained in
Before You Install or Remove a Board
on page 47
.
Hot swap compliant modules may be removed while the system is powered on. If a module is
not hot swap compliant, you should remove power to the slot or system before removing the
module. See
Understanding Hot Swap
on page 48
for more information.
Removal Procedure
To remove a board module, follow these steps:
1.
Loosen the module’s captive screws at both ends of the front panel.
2.
Begin to remove your module by unlatching the ejector lever (the lower lever on
vertically mounted boards). See
Recognize Different Injector/Ejector Lever Types
on
page 49
.
Do not remove the module immediately.
3.
Once the applications and operating system running on the board have stopped and
it is safe to remove the board, open both ejector levers to partially unseat the module
from the backplane connectors.
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.
