inserted. Fasten the retaining screws at each end of the
card (2 for single slot cards, 4 for double slot cards)

2.3 Rear Transition Module Installation/Removal
The installation and removal procedures for a Rear Transition
Module (RTM) are the same as those for CompactPCI boards.
Because they are shorter than front boards, pay careful attention
when inserting or removing RTMs. Only models with an “R” at the
end of the model number support RTMs.
Note: We strongly recommended the use of RTMs with AB type
connectors to prevent the damage to the backplane during
RTM installation.
