3. Installing the Board
3.1 Hot Swap Insertion Procedures
The AM4211 is designed for hot swap operation. Hot swapping allows the coordinated insertion and
extraction of modules without disrupting other operational elements within the system. This allows for
identified faulty elements to be removed and replaced without taking the carrier card out of service that will
typically be hosting others modules.
The following procedures are applicable when inserting the AM4211 in a running system.
1 Ensure that the safety requirements are observed.
2 Ensure that the board is properly configured for operation in accordance with application requirements
before installing.
3 To install the AM4211, perform the following:
1 Carefully insert the board into the slot designated by the application requirements until it makes
contact with the AMC Card-edge connector located on the carrier or backplane.
2 Connect all external interfacing cables to the board as required.
3 Using the handle on the front panel, engage the board with the carrier or backplane. When the
handle is locked, the board is engaged and the following steps occur:
1 The BLUE HS LED turns on.
If the carrier recognizes that the AM4211 is fully seated, the carrier then enables the
management power for the AM4211 and the BLUE HS LED turns on.
2 Long blinks of the BLUE HS LED.
If the carrier IPMI controller detects the AM4211, it sends a command to the AM4211 to
perform long blinks of the BLUE HS LED.
3 The BLUE HS LED turns off.
The Intelligent Platform Management Controller on the carrier reads the Module Current
Requirements record and the AMC Point-to-Point Connectivity record. If the Module FRU
information is valid and the carrier can provide the necessary payload power, the BLUE HS
