 New plug-in units are upgraded
automatically if they have
incorrect software revisions

Equipment Handling
 Plug-in units can be inserted, swapped and removed

while in operation
 When changing a circuit board for repair, the new board
automatically receives the configuration of the old board
 Equipment fault management
with supervision of temperature,
power, fan, system buses and
processes
