4. System Management
The following interfaces are available to support system management:
• Rack’s power switch
• Hot Swap switch on the MCH
• CLI interface of the McH
• MCH Ethernet management port
• Processor AMCs KCS interfaces
• AMC module Hot Swap switches
Usually the power switch and/or the Hot Swap switches on the MCH and AMC modules is suf-
ficient to activate or deactivate a previously configured system. This means that once a system
is configured, no further operating elements are required. In the extreme case, the rack’s power
can simply be switched on or off.
The configuration of the system can be accomplished for example via the CLI interface of the
MCH. Using the serial interface on the front panel of the MCH, a service terminal with keyboard
or a computer can be connected. When connected to the serial interface of a computer, the
computer must be operated either as a terminal with keyboard or it must provide a script
program (previously created by the user) that controls the commanding operation. It is
recommended to use the CLI interface when performing the initial configuration of a system.
For systems which do not provide automatic slot presence detection (for example, the
OM6062), a minimal initial configuration must include “slot on xx” for used slots.
