BREAK-FIX PROCEDURES
General
This chapter refers only to replacement of removable modules, plug-ins, motherboard,
power supply fuses, and backup battery. If any other components in the unit require
replacement, contact your local service center.
Before replacing modules or plug-ins, see safety issues/warnings in the Installation
chapter above.
Note: A TORX screwdriver is required for component replacement. A Philips
screwdriver is required for assembling the TB holder and a flat screwdriver is required
for setting the code key pin.
For information on installation of the frame/housing on the wall, see the Installation chapter
above.
The ACE3600 has a hot swap capability, which means that the modules can be removed from
their slots and inserted without powering down the unit. The only exception to this rule is the
main power supply module, which cannot be removed during normal operation. See
Replacing a Power Supply Module below for details.
If a module is inserted once the system is running, the system will recognize the module, but
will not operate it using the application until the unit has been rebooted.
Replacing a CPU/Gateway Module
If the CPU 3680 to be replaced is the active CPU of a redundant site, the standby CPU will
become active and continue all control and monitoring of I/Os.
Procedure 29-1 How to Replace a CPU/Gateway Module
1. To replace a CPU module, open the door of the CPU module and press the cable holder
downward.
2. Disconnect all cables from the connectors.
3. Simultaneously press on the tabs on the top and bottom of the plastic front of the old
module, and pull the module from its slot. See Figure 29-1.
