from M5->M6.

board and transitions from M6 to M1 state.

Hot-Swap LED

The RTM8242 supports a blue Hot Swap LED mounted on the front panel. This LED indicates when it is safe to
remove the RTM from the front board. The on-board MMC drives this LED to indicate the hot-swap state. The
following states are possible:

Table 2-8:Hot-Swap LED Description

The SHMC or higher level software can reject the deactivation request. If this occurs, the RTM will return the
Hot Swap LED to a solid off condition, indicating that the RTM has returned to M4 state.

When request is granted and main RTM payload power is successfully removed from the RTM slot, the Hot
Swap LED is on continuously, indicating it is safe to remove the RTM from the chassis.

Refer to the AT8242 manual for information on "Managed FRU Deactivation Policies" affecting the FRU
deactivation process.
