Unpredictable System behavior
Avoid sudden module extractions from the carrier, without waiting for the blue LED
status change as indicated in the steps below. A surprise hot extraction, which does
not allow the MMC (Module Management Controller) time to react and initiate a graceful
extraction sequence, is liable to cause a system software crash, especially if there are
no recovery mechanisms built into the system software.
Step 1:Attach an ESD strap to your wrist. Attach the other end of the ESD strap to the chassis as a
ground. The ESD strap must be secured to your wrist and to ground throughout the procedure.
Step 2:If multiple AMC modules are installed on the carrier, identify the AMC module to be extracted.
Step 3:Remove any cables that are fastened to front panel connectors, if any.
Step 4:Gently pull the module latch outwards approximately 3 mm from its locked position.
Step 5:Wait for the blue LED to first perform short blinks, and then glow persistently.
Note Please wait for the blue LED to glow persistently before proceeding to the next step.
Step 6:Once the blue LED glows, gently pull handles outwards to disconnect the module from the AMC
connectors. Continue to gently slide the module outwards along the guide rails.
Step 7:After module removal is complete, place the module on a clean and adequately protected
working surface (preferably an ESD mat) with the top side of the board facing up.
Note Empty or unused AMC Bays need to be covered with a filler panel, in order to satisfy
environmental and EMC compliance.
