7.9.4 RadioBlade Replacement
The MC-Series System supports hot swapping of RadioBlades. This means that replacement of a
RadioBlade can be done while the system is live and does not require a system reset. When
RadioBlades are hot swapped no alarm is generated. Rather, an RB lock and unlock event is
placed in the System Manager Event Log.
Each RadioBlade is shipped wrapped in antistatic packaging, along with a lockdown strap and
screw for securing the RB in the RadioBlade Shelf (RBS).
NOTE: Use an SMA torque wrench (such as the Huber & Suhner 742-0-0-21 SMA torque
wrench) for removing and installing RBs.
