AMC Module Installation and Removal

The blade comes with an AMC bay. For more information, see
Electrostatic discharge and incorrect installation and removal of the blade can
damage circuits or shorten its life.
Before touching the blade or electronic components, make sure that you are working
in an ESD-safe environment.
AMC Module Damage
The AMC bay should only be used with AMC modules that are officially supported by
SMART Embedded Computing. Installing and operating other AMC modules may
damage the AMC bay and the blade.
Limitation of Operating Temperature Range
Installing AMC modules with small operating temperature ranges into the ATCA-
F140 may further restrict the operating temperature range of the ATCA-F140.
Make sure that the operating temperature of any installed AMC modules and the
ATCA-F140 as a bundle are within allowed limits.
Shelf Cooling and EMC Compliance Violation
An empty AMC bay may result in poor shelf cooling and strong EMC radiation and
lead to EMC compliance violation.
Always cover empty or unused AMC bays with a filler panel.
Installation Procedure
This procedure assumes that the AdvancedATCA system is powered. If your system is
powered down, you can disregard the instructions regarding the blue LED.
1. If the AMC bay is occupied by an AMC filler panel, remove the filler panel.
2. Make sure that the AMC module handle is in the extracted position: pulled outward,
away from the face plate.
