Hardware Preparation and Installation Watch for Bent Pins or Other Damage

2.12.1 Watch for Bent Pins or Other Damage
ECC and our suppliers take significant steps to ensure there are no bent pins on the backplane
or connector damage to the boards prior to leaving our factory. Bent pins caused by improper
installation or by boards with damaged connectors could void the ECC warranty for the
backplane or boards.
If a system contains one or more crushed pins, power off the system and contact your local
sales representative to schedule delivery of a replacement chassis assembly.
2.12.2 Use Caution When Installing or Removing Boards
When first installing boards in an empty chassis, we recommend that you start at the left of the
card cage and work to the right when cards are vertically aligned; in horizontally aligned cages,
work from bottom to top.
When inserting or removing a board in a slot adjacent to other boards, use extra caution to
avoid damage to the pins and components located on the primary or secondary sides of the
boards.
2.12.3 Understanding Hot Swap
The PICMG 2.1 Hot Swap specification defines varying levels of hot swap. A board that is
compliant with the specification can be inserted and removed safely with system power on
without damage to on-board circuitry. If a module is not hot swap compliant, you should
remove power to the slot or system before inserting or removing the module.
Product Damage
Bent pins or loose components can cause damage to the board, the backplane or
other system components.
Carefully inspect your board and the backplane for both pin and component integrity
before installation.
