Acme Packet 6300 NIU Hotswap Guidelines

TheOracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller 6300 provides a 3-slot chassis. Each chassis is monitored by a dedicated Hot-Swap sensor that maintains state information for the resident Network Interface Units.

The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller 6300 is the first multi-slot SBC that runs C series software. A hotswap sensor, located on each of the 6300's three slots, provides the ability to track the state of individual network interface units (NIUs) in the 6300 chassis.

There are 8 possible associated states as shown below.

PRESENT/NOT PRESENT       Checks the physical presence of a NIU inserted in a 6300 slot
LATCH OPEN/LATCH CLOSED   Checks the physical latch in the back of a NIU
POWER GOOD/ POWER BAD     Checks the power conditions of an NIU
READY/NOT READY           Checks all of the three previous state

A fully functional NIU is always in the following state: present, latch closed, power good, and ready.

The status of each NIU can be check by issuing the command show platform hotswap from the ACLI.
