AM4024(E)
8.3 Board Installation
The AM4024(E) is designed for hot swap operation. Hot swapping allows the coordinated insertion and
extraction of modules without disrupting other operational elements within the system.
8.3.1 Hot Swap Insertion
Prior to following the steps below, ensure that the safety requirements are met.
To insert the AM4024(E) in a running system proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that module handle is in the “Unlocked” position (see Figure 7, Module Handle Posi-
tions).
2. Using the front panel as a grip, carefully insert the module into the slot designated by the
application requirements until it makes contact with the carrier/backplane connector.
3. Apply pressure to the front panel until the module is properly seated in the carrier/backplane
connector. This may require a considerable amount of force. Apply pressure only to the front
panel, not the module handle. During seating in the connector, there is a noticeable “snap-
ping” of the module into the connector. When the board is seated, it should be flush with the
carrier or system front panel.
4. The blue HS LED turns on.
When the module is seated, the module management power is applied and the blue HS LED
turns on. (No payload power is applied at this time).
5. Connect all external interfacing cables to the module as required and ensure that they are
properly secured.
6. Push the module handle in the “Locked” position.
Now the module is locked and the hot swap switch is actuated.
7. The blue HS LED displays long blinks.
When the carrier IPMI controller detects the module, it sends a command to the module to
perform long blinks of the blue HS LED.
8. The blue HS LED turns off indicating that the AM4024(E) is operating.
The Intelligent Platform Management Controller on the carrier reads the Module Current Re-
quirements record and the AMC Point-to-Point Connectivity record. If the module FRU infor-
mation is valid and the carrier can provide the necessary payload power, the blue HS LED will
be turned off. The carrier now enables the payload power for the module.
Note: If the module FRU information is invalid or the carrier cannot provide the necessary pay-
load power, the blue HS LED stops blinking and remains lit. Should this problem occur,
please contact Kontron.
