I can find plenty of documentation on installing a new G650 PN. Can't find any on adding a G650 to an existing PN. My question is, since I have to move the existing TDM bus terminator, do I have to power off the entire PN first or can I move the terminator "hot" and connect my new TDM bus cable?
 
this should be a power down of the cabinet that you are removing the terminator from.
 
I have done it hot, but why risk it? If you can shut it down do so as the potential for a pin becoming bent the shorting... well, best to just power down. By the way that means pulling the power cords from the back not just pulling the power supplies out.

**The question may not be the technology, but the competency of the support people.**
 
Power down th entire PN or just the last carrier in it?
 
Just the cabs involved in the addition. By the way, if you have remote maintenence you will need call in an ignore alarms ticket, or simply disconnect the inads line.
