Removing and replacing the printed circuit packs
Introduction
The following PCPs are used in the EC 11. For PCP slot
designation, see Chapter 7, “Configuring and installing the
printed circuit packs.”
• Enhanced MMP40 or MMP40 cards
• Utility cards
• VP8 and VP4 cards
Note: Only the voice processor cards are hot-pluggable. That
is, you can remove or insert voice processor cards while the
power to the module is still on. It is recommended, however,
that you power down the module prior to removing or
inserting the voice processor cards. For removal without
powering down, you must first disable the voice processor
cards using the “System Status and Maintenance” function on
the administration terminal.
Replacing a printed
circuit pack
To replace a PCP, follow these steps.
Step Action
1 Courtesy down the system, if operating, and power
down the EC 11.
2 Locate the card to be replaced in the appropriate
node.
3 Ensure that you are wearing antistatic wrist straps.
Open the locking levers on the card and gently pull
the card toward you until it clears the shelf.
4 Check the new card to make sure it has the same
PCP number as the one you have removed.
5 Check the new card to make sure it is not bent and
has no loose parts.
6 Check the new card to make sure that switches and
jumpers are identical to the old card.
7 If you are not installing the new card immediately,
place it in an electrostatic discharge (ESD)
protective container.
