3.7.5 Hot Swap Sequence

sequence is a coordination between the operator, the hardware on the

W400c/2 board, and the host system board that is capable of basic, full, or high-

availability hot swap. Table 27 outlays the Hot Swap insertion and extraction

3. The operator then waits for the blue LED to turn on

before attempting to fully eject the HW400c/2 board.

4. The host system halts all applications associated with the

HW400c/2 board that is about to be extracted.

5. The host system then instructs the PCI bridge to turn on

the blue LED.

6. After the blue LED turns on, the operator can continue

with the extraction of the board.
