8.3.2 Hot Swap Removal
Prior to following the steps below, ensure that the safety requirements are met. When removing a
board from the system, particular attention must be paid to the components that may be hot, such as
heat sink, etc.
To remove the AM4024(E) from a running system proceed as follows:
1. Pull the module handle in the “Hot Swap” position to initiate the extraction process of the
module Figure “Module Handle Positions”).
2. The blue HS LED displays short blinks.
When the carrier / chassis IPMI controller receives the handle opened event, it sends a com-
mand to the MMC with a request to perform short blinks of the blue HS LED. This indicates
that the module is waiting to be deactivated.
Now the module waits for a permission from the higher level management (Shelf Manager or
System Manager) to proceed with its deactivation.
Once the module receives the permission to continue the deactivation, all used ports are dis-
abled.
3. The blue HS LED turns on.
The Intelligent Platform Management Controller on the carrier / chassis disables the mod-
ule's payload power and the blue HS LED is turned on. Now the module is ready to be safely
extracted.
4. Pull the module handle in the “Unlocked” position.
5. Disconnect any interfacing cables that may be connected to the module.
6. Disengage the module from the carrier/backplane connector by pulling on the module han-
dle. This may require a considerable amount of force.
7. Using the front panel as a grip, remove the module from the carrier / chassis.
8. Dispose of the module as required.
