11. Position your thumbs at the top and bottom of the RTM; simultaneously push in
the module and rotate the injector/ejector mechanisms inward to their closed
position to seat and secure RTM. DO NOT FORCE THE BOARD INTO THE SLOT.
12. Tighten the two module retention screws to secure the module into the shelf.
13. Power on the system, if necessary. Refer to your system manual for instructions
on correctly powering on the system. Once power is applied to the chassis, the
internal MMC controller runs a self-test that runs for approximately 10 seconds.
Upon a successful power up self-test, the blue hot swap LED will blink and then
turn off, indicating that the module has been placed in operation.
12.7 Removing the Advanced Rear Transition Module
The RTM-ATCA-SXXX is hot-swappable and can be removed from the chassis
without powering down its associated node board. This section describes a
recommended procedure for removing a board module from a chassis.
Before you remove your module, please read all cautions, warnings, and instructions
presented in this section. Hot swap compliant modules may be removed while the
system is powered on. If the chassis is not hot swap compliant, you should remove
power to the slot or system before removing the module.
To remove a rear transition module, follow these steps:
14. Loosen the locking screws on the rear transition module.
15. Rotate the top ejector handle to the half way (HW) position. Do not remove the
module immediately.
16. If your host module running hot swap-aware software, the action of rotating
the ejector lever will start the shutdown process on the board. The software will
slowly blink the blue hot swap LED indicating the module is in the process of
being de-activated.
17. Once the module has been de-activated, the Blue LED will illuminate steady.
Once this is done you can extract the module by pulling on the module handle.
Note: Powering down or removing a board before the operating system or
other software running on the board has been properly shut down may cause
corruption of data or file systems.
18. If your board or system is not running hot swap-aware software, the blue LED
may illuminate without regard to software processes still running on the board.
Be sure to manually shut down applications or operating systems running on
the board prior to board removal.
19. Carefully pull the module from the chassis.
20. If the card slot is to remain empty, install a filler panel in the slot.
12.8 Verifying the Hardware Installation
This section provides information to verify the installation of the RTM-ATCA-SXXX.
Visually inspect the module power LED on the RTM panel. Refer to Figure 38 RTM-
ATCA-S
