Chapter 2. Base Station Components
While working with the PM 5000 base station, use of the ESD strap is highly
recommended to prevent damage to equipment due to electro-static discharge.
2.8 Hot Swap
The MSC and WSC cards are hot-swappable. This implies that while the system is
on, the cards can be swapped without disrupting the system or operation of other
cards still installed and active in the chassis.
This multi-step procedure is designed to prevent against accidental enabling of the
Hot Swap function through normal handling of the system.
NOTE: Before you eject and handle and PM5000 card, please be sure to put
on a anti-static wrist strap and attach it to one of the ESD connectors on the
PM5000 (See
Figure 2-9). Doing this will help prevent accidental ESD dam-
age to the card.
