removal of the product can damage circuit or shorten
its life.
Wrist Strap Use a properly grounded ESD wrist strap or work in an

3 Site preparation

Prior to installation, prepare your site. For information on the
environmental and power requirements, see the ATCA-7540
Installation and Use manual.
Operating temperatures refer to the temperature of the air
circulating around the blade and not to the actual component
temperature.
4 Install the DIMM
NOTE: Some blade variants come with the DIMM already
installed. For thermal safety concerns, no 4-rank DIMMs or
stacked DIMMs are allowed. At least one DDR4 VLP RDIMM must
be installed in a socket labeled DIMM A through DIMM F, see the
marking on the outside edge of the blade. Installing RDIMMs in
the remaining sockets is optional.
For a list of tested memory modules, refer to the ATCA-7540
Installation and Use manual.
1. Open the locks of the memory module socket.
2. Orient the memory module to the correct key position of
the socket.
3. Press the memory module carefully into the socket. As soon
as the memory module is fully inserted, the locks close
automatically.
4. If necessary, repeat steps 1-3 to install additional memory
modules.
5. Install the blade into the system (see Step 6).
5 Install the M.2 NVME
SSD module
Some blade variants come with up to two M.2 NVME SSD
modules already installed; the blade can be installed directly into
the system (see Step 6).
Some blade variants do not have M.2 NVME SSD modules
installed. If SSD modules are needed, please refer to the
SSD Module and Hardware Kit NVME-M.2-1TB Quick Start Guide
(P/N 6806868A01) for installation instructions. Once installed,
proceed to Step 6.
6 Install the blade
The following procedure assumes that the system is powered. If it
is not powered, disregard the blue LED information below and
skip its respective step(s).
1. Prior to installing the blade into the slot, slide the top and
bottom latches into the handle release position and pull the
handles outward to unlatch the handles from the faceplate.
Do not pull the handles fully outward.
2. Insert the blade into the shelf by aligning the top and
bottom edges of the blade in the card guides of the shelf.
3. Apply equal and steady pressure to the blade to carefully
slide the blade into the shelf until you feel resistance.
Continue to push the blade gently until the blade connectors
engage.
4. Fully insert the blade and push the handles towards the
faceplate. The latches automatically slide inwards and lock
the handles.
NOTE: If the shelf is powered, the blue LED (H/S) illuminates
as soon as the blade is connected to the backplane power
pins. When the blade is completely installed, the blue LED
starts to blink. This indicates that the blade has signified its
presence to the shelf management controller.
5. Wait until the blue LED is switched off and then fasten the
faceplate screws to secure the blade to the shelf. Torque the
faceplate screws to 0.40 N-m.
NOTE: When the blue LED is switched off and the green LED
(IS) is switched on, this indicates that the payload has been
powered up and the blade is active.
6. Connect cables to the faceplate, if applicable. Refer to the
ATCA-7540 Installation and Use Manual.
NOTE: If an RTM is connected to the ATCA-7540 blade, make sure
that the handles of both the RTM and the ATCA-7540 blade are
closed in order to power up the blade's payload.
