the product.
Electrostatic discharge can cause permanent damage to
static-sensitive components in this product. Important ESD
procedures include:
Keep the product in its ESD shielding bag until a step
tells you to remove it.
Put on a grounded wrist strap before you move near or
touch the product.
Install the product only in a grounded work area.
Prepare for installation
The installation of the SCM requires the following:
An AdvancedTCA® (ATCA®) shelf, such as a RadiSys
ATCA-6000, ATCA-6006, ATCA-6014, or ATCA-6016
shelf
A 9-pin D-shell to RJ-45 serial port cable (shipped
with the SCM)
A standard crossover Ethernet cable
Adequate ventilation for the shelf
Install SFPs or XFPs on the SCM
The SCM comes with sockets for small form-factor
pluggable (SFP) and 10 Gigabit small form-factor
pluggable (XFP) transceiver modules. If SFPs and XFPs
are installed, they can provide external connections to the
Ethernet interfaces. The sockets are accessed from the
faceplate of the SCM.

To protect the internal components of the SCM, transceivers or filler plugs must be installed in all empty sockets: The Base Ethernet configuration supports up to four SFP transceivers and one XFP transceiver, with filler plugs installed in unused sockets.
- Page 3 Filler plug installation If XFP or SFP transceivers are removed, install either replacement transceivers or filler plugs in the sockets to protect the internal components of the SCM. Additional filler plugs can be ordered from the applicable manufacturer; for a list of tested and qualified transceivers and filler plugs, see the Support section of the RadiSys Web site at www.radisys.com.

Installation Guide 3. Enter the exit command again, to log off the SCM. 4. If you have two SCMs installed, repeat these steps on the other SCM. Verify shelf management operation These steps confirm that shelf management is operating when the SCM is installed in a RadiSys shelf. If the SCM is installed in a non-RadiSys shelf, shelf management is not available. - Page 11 6. To determine the version of SCM’s on-board Shelf Manager, enter: rsys_debug -h 7. After determining the version, enter the appropriate command. For version Enter this command 0.96 or below rsys_debug 0.97 or above rsys_debug -i 127.1 8. Once the software tool has completed its initialization, the host address is displayed. Make a note of this address for an upcoming step.

Page 12: Enable The Shelf Manager On The Scm
Installation Guide Enable the Shelf Manager on the SCM If you plan to remove an SCM from a non-RadiSys shelf and reinstall it in a RadiSys shelf, enable the on-board Shelf Manager before removing the SCM. Important: If the SCM is removed from the non-RadiSys shelf without having its on-board Shelf Manager enabled, you will need to install the SCM in a shelf (RadiSys or non-RadiSys) that already has an active Shelf Manager running. -
