Circuit cards installed in an S3400-H can be replaced on site.
The system must be powered down in order to replace or add a circuit
card. To replace an analog port board in an S3400-H or an S3210,
see Replacing an analog port board.
Note: This procedure can also be used to reseat
a card (for example, to determine if a board is faulty or was simply
loose).
Replacing circuit cards
To replace a circuit card:
- Verify that the replacement equipment is on site and appears
to be in usable condition, with no obvious damage.
- Remove the old circuit card.
- Install the new circuit card.
- Verify new card operation.
Remove the old circuit card
To remove a faulty circuit card:
- Shut down the system and unplug the AC
power cords.
- Remove the front bezel and the top cover.
- Remove the circuit card hold-down bracket.
- Locate the circuit card you want to remove. As you face the
back of the machine, the circuit cards are (see S3400-H
back views.
- SCSI RAID controller card
- Remote maintenance board (RMB)
- Nonintegrated video and LAN model only:
- Video card (closest to the power supply)
- Network interface card (NIC)
- Remove any exterior cables connected to the circuit card you
want to replace. These include:
- RMB modem and COM cables
- Nonintegrated video and LAN model only:
- Video card (closest to the power supply)
- Network interface card (NIC)
Note: Label the cables so you can easily reconnect them.
- Remove any interior cables connected to the circuit card you
want to replace. These include:
- Unscrew the retaining screw that attaches the circuit card to
the chassis. Set it aside.
- Lift the circuit card out. See Replacing
a circuit card.
Note: For the video card, you must release the safety catch
at the rear of the board before you can lift it out.
Install the new circuit card
To install a new circuit card:
- Slide the card edge connector into the slot connector and the
card slot retainer bracket into the slot guide. Apply pressure
to the top of the card only, until the edge connector is firmly
seated. See Replacing a circuit card.
Note: To install a video card, hold open the
safety catch until the card is seated, then release it to lock
the board in place.
- Replace and tighten the retaining screw to hold the circuit
card in place.
- Reattach any interior cables.
- For the RMB, reconnect the ribbon cable to the 10-pin connector
near the top rear of the board. See figure Replacing
the S3400-H RMB ribbon cable.
- For a SCSI RAID controller card: See figure Replacing
the SCSI RAID controller card.
- Reconnect the ribbon cable to the upper edge connector
near the faceplate.
- Reconnect the SCSI LED cable to the 2 pins closest to
the faceplate on the 8-pin connector near the upper edge
of the board.
- Reattach any exterior cables.
Note: For a rack-mount configuration, you might have to
slide the machine back into the cabinet to get enough slack to
plug in the exterior cables.
- Replace the circuit card hold-down
bracket.
- Replace the top cover and front bezel.
- Restore power to the system.
Verify new circuit card operation
To verify that the new circuit card is working:
- If you replaced one of the following cards, perform the verification
checks as noted:
- Video card: After the system boots:
- Bring up a GUI application, such as the web interface
to this product.
- Verify that the application displays correctly.
- NIC LAN cable: After restoring power to the system:
- Ping the address of the new card through the network.
- Verify that the new card is present and answering.
- RMB card:
- After the system boots, test RMB functionality (for
example, call in to the board, and run standard inquiries).
- See the Remote Maintenance Board (RMB) CYN23AP and
CYN24AP PCI Version Release 1.0 Reference (585-310-263,
3 MB pdf) for more information. This document is available
to certified personnel through the Avaya
web site.
- SCSI RAID controller card:
- After the system boots, verify that the application
software loads correctly.
- Verify that the circuit pack alarms are resolved.
