Modifying UDC Module Information
Note that UDC modules cannot be changed to another type of

module. If the module is added by mistake, it must be removed

before another module can be added. If the drive type of the UDC is

changed, the PMI hardware and the parameter information will be

reset to the default state of the new drive type.

6.6

Removing a Module from a Rack

The following procedure enables you to remove a module from the

rack. Note carefully that any common memory variables or I/O

configured for the module will be deleted from the corresponding

rack database file. For UDC modules, all attached hardware and

parameter descriptions will also be deleted.
If a Remote I/O module is removed from a rack, all of the remote

racks, heads, modules, and I/O in the remote racks will be deleted as

well.
If a Universal Drive Controller module is removed from a rack, the

Power Module Interfaces which are attached to it and all its

associated configuration information (hardware and variables) will

also be deleted.
If you remove an AutoMax Processor or the Common Memory

module (in slot 0) from a rack, the common memory variables

configured for the rack will not be deleted until the last remaining

Processor or Common Memory module is removed. When the last

Processor or Common Memory module is removed, all common

memory variables in the rack will also be deleted.
Step 1.

Select the module you want to remove from the rack.

Step 2.

Select Remove from the Configure menu. A dialog box will

be displayed for you to confirm the deletion. The module

will be removed after confirmation, and its slot in the rack

will be empty.

6.7

Moving a Module to Another Slot in the

Rack

The following procedure enables you to move the selected module

and all hardware attached to it to another slot in the rack. For remote

Shark racks, you can move modules from the main Shark rack to the

expansion rack, or vice versa. If the new slot contains a module, the

modules will swap locations. All of the variables associated with the

module(s) are moved with the module(s).
Step 1.

Select the module you want to move.

Step 2.

Select Move from the Configure menu. A dialog box will

display the module's present slot and the cursor will

appear in the New slot field.

Step 3.

Enter the new slot for the module. If the slot you enter is

occupied by another module, the modules will swap slots.

Step 4.

You have the option of backing up the database(s) for the

module(s) being moved before they are moved. It is

recommended that you do so.
