RTM Installation and Removal

The RTM is fully compatible to the AdvancedTCA standard and is designed to be used in
AdvancedTCA shelves.
The RTM must only be installed into the slot associated with the proper companion front
blade.
Damage of Circuits
Electrostatic discharge and incorrect RTM installation and removal can damage
circuits or shorten its life.
Before touching the RTM or electronic components, make sure that you are working
in an ESD-safe environment.
Damage of the RTM
Incorrect installation of the RTM can cause damage of the RTM.
Only use handles when installing or removing the RTM to avoid
damage/deformation to the face plate and/or the PCB.
2.4.1

Installing the RTM

To install the RTM into an AdvancedTCA Shelf, proceed as follows.
Installation Procedure
The following procedure describes the installation of the RTM. It assumes that your system
is powered. If your system is unpowered, you can disregard the blue LED and thus skip the
respective step. In this case it is a purely mechanical installation.
Slow down and give blade insertion your full attention! If there are Rear Transition
Modules (RTMs) to install, install/secure the RTMs first, then install the front blades.
1. Visually inspect the RTM and Zone 3 connectors on the front blade for damage or bent
pins before attempting to insert a board. If any connector damage or pin damage is
observed, stop before inserting the RTM and send the damaged item through proper
repair channels.
2. If the corresponding front blade is already installed, perform the following steps.
Otherwise skip to step 3.
