Installation OM6040

3.5 Adding or Replacing OM6040 Components
Solution requirements determine the operational configuration of the OM6040. Therefore, it
may or will be necessary to add, remove, or reconfigure components.
AMC modules are normally supplied with documentation which provides instructions or guide-
lines on their installation or replacement. Please refer to their respective documentation for fur-
ther assistance. For replacement of the MCH, refer to the MCH User Guide.
The power supply, fans and backplane are not user replaceable.
3.6 MCH/AMC Module Hot-Swapping
The OM6040 as such is designed to support hot-swapping under IPMI control. Hot-swapping,
however, is a function of the individual application requirements and the ability of system com-
ponents (hardware and software) to support these requirements. Therefore, it is the responsi-
bility of the system integrator to ensure the system operability and compliance with hot-swap
requirements prior to application implementation.
More specifically, for example, the MCH used supports hot-swapping of itself. This in return re-
sults effectively in a power off and on cycling of the system as a whole. If this is not desired,
then precautions must be taken to ensure proper hot-swapping of system components.
3.7 AMC Connector Mating Cycles
The OM6040 backplane connectors and the AMC module card-edge connectors are designed
to support at least 200 insertion/extraction cycles. As systems used in a laboratory or develop-
ment environment may exceed this number of mating cycles over the product life time, the
card-edge connector of each AMC module should be inspected for wear or damage before in-
sertion or after extraction. If a card-edge connector exhibits excessive wear or damage, the
AMC module must be replaced to preclude improper operation of the system.
Warning!
Remove power from the system before performing any reconfiguration of
these components.
Failure to comply with the above could endanger your life or health and may
cause damage to the OM6040 or other system components including pro-
cess-side signal conditioning equipment.
Kontron rejects any and all liability for damage resulting from failure to
remove power before performing the above.
