2 Important Safety Information
Please ensure that IMS modules designed for "hot-plugging" (modules that are removable and insertable while
a system is in operation) are always handled with the utmost care.
Before performing any maintenance work on the system:
•We recommend making a backup of any stored configurations (e.g. using a USB flash drive or from the
Web UI)
•Take note of the chapter "Prevention of ESD Damage".
•Take note of the chapter "Power Supply".
2.1 Product Documentation
Detailed product documentation is provided on a USB flash drive delivered with the Meinberg system. The
manuals can also be downloaded from the Meinberg website at https://www.meinbergglobal.com, where you can
enter your system name into the search box at the top of the page to find the relevant manual. Alternatively,
contact Meinberg Support for further assistance.
The "Docs & Support" menu on the Web Interface also provides user manuals for time server administrators.
This manual contains important safety instructions for the installation and operation of the
device. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the device.
This device may only be used for the purpose described in this manual. In particular, the
specified operating limits of the device must be heeded. The person setting up the device is
responsible for safety matters in relation to any larger system in which the device is
installed!
Failure to observe these instructions may have an adverse impact on device safety!
Please keep this manual in a safe place.
Target Readership
This manual is only intended to be used by qualified electricians, or by persons who have been appropri-
ately instructed by a qualified electrician and who are familiar with applicable national standards and with
safety rules & regulations. This device may only be installed, set up, and operated by qualified personnel.

2 Important Safety Information
2.2 Prevention of ESD Damage
ATTENTION!
An ESDS device (electrostatic discharge-sensitive device) is any device at risk of damage or
malfunction due to electrostatic discharges (ESD) and thus requires special measures to prevent
such damage or malfunction. Systems and modules with ESDS devices usually bear the following
symbol:
Symbol Indicating Devices with ESDS Components
The following measures will help to protect ESDS components from damage and malfunction.
When preparing to dismantle or install devices:
Ground your body (for example, by touching a grounded object) before touching sensitive devices.
Ensure that you wear a grounding strap on your wrist when handling such devices. These straps must
in turn be attached to an uncoated, non-conductive metal part of the system.
Use only tools and devices that are free of static electricity.
When transporting devices:
Devices must only be touched or held by the edges. Never touch any pins or conductors on the device.
When dismantling or installing devices:
Avoid coming into contact with persons who are not grounded. Such contact may compromise your
connection with the earth conductor and thus also compromise the device’s protection from any
static charges you may be carrying.
When storing devices:
Always store devices in ESD-proof ("antistatic") bags. These bags must not be damaged in any way.
ESD-proof bags that are crumpled or have holes cannot provide effective protection against
electrostatic discharges.
ESD-proof bags must have a sufficient electrical resistance and must not be made of conductive
metals if the device has a lithium battery fitted on it.

2.3 Power Supply
WARNING!
The IMS system in which the module is used is operated at a dangerous voltage. Please
refer to your IMS Manual for more information about safety.
When removing a hot-pluggable power supply unit, always disconnect its power cable before
removing it from the IMS system.
Never open a power supply unit—there may still be hazardous residual voltages
present even after disconnection from the mains supply. In the event that a power supply
unit is no longer working (e.g. defective), please return it to Meinberg for repair.
Failure to observe these safety instructions may result in serious injury and/or property
damage. The IMS system must only be installed, set up, and operated by qualified
personnel.
2.4 Cabling
WARNING!
Danger of death from electric shock! Never work on cables while the power is live!
Always disconnect the cables from the devices at both ends before working on
the plugs and terminals of connected cables!

3 Replacement or Installation of a Hot-pluggable IMS Module
3 Replacement or Installation of a Hot-pluggable
IMS Module
If the system is supplied with an antenna and antenna cable, it is advisable to first mount the antenna in a
suitable location (see chapter Antenna Mounting) and lay the antenna cable.
Please use a Torx screwdriver (T8 x 60) for removal and installation of the module.
1. Follow the safety instructions at the beginning
of this manual!
2. Remove the two marked Torx screws from the
module holder plate or the cover plate of
the empty slot.
3. Note when removing!
Pull the module carefully out of the guide
rail. Note that the module is firmly anchored
in the connector block of the housing. You need
a certain amount of force to release the module
from this link. Once the connection to the
connector block of the system’s backplane is
loosened, the module can be easily pulled out.
4. Note during installation!
Please ensure that the module is correctly inserted into the two guide rails of the system housing
as otherwise damage to the module and the housing could be caused. Make sure that the module is
securely locked into the connector block before you fasten the two screws.
5. Now you can put the installed module into operation.

3.1 Important Information Regarding Hot-Pluggable IMS Modules
The following information should be strictly observed when replacing IMS modules during operation. Not all
IMS modules are fully hot-pluggable. For example, it is naturally not possible to replace a power supply unit in
a system without PSU redundancy without first having installed a second power supply unit while the system
is in operation.
The following rules apply for the individual IMS slots:
PWR Slot: "Hot-Swappable" If you operate your system with only one power supply unit, a
second power supply unit must be installed before removing
or replacing it in order to keep your system on.
I/O, ESI and
MRI Slots: "Hot-Pluggable".
CLK1/CLK2 "Hot-Pluggable" When a clock module is replaced or installed, it is important to
Slots: rescan the reference clocks ("Rescan Refclocks") in the
"System" menu of the Web Interface.
RSC/SPT Slots: "Hot-Pluggable" It will not be possible for your IMS system to switch between
signal generators while the RSC/SPT is not installed.
——————————————————————————————————————————————
CPU Slot: "Not Hot-Pluggable" Before the CPU is removed, the IMS system must be powered
down.
Please note that after powering on and rebooting the LANTIME
Operating System, the configuration of some IMS modules may
be reset to factory defaults!
Information:
The NTP service and access to the web interface will be unavailable while the CPU is not installed.
Management and monitoring functions will also be disabled.
