37
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.
3. Using your thumb, apply equal and steady pressure on the face plate as necessary to
carefully slide the AMC module into the guide rails.
4. Continue pushing the module gently along the guide rails until the module is fully engaged
with the connector. Avoid using excessive force.
5. Wait for the blue LED to glow. The blue LED glows when the AMC module is completely
engaged with the connector.
6. Press module handle inwards towards the face plate to lock the AMC module into the AMC
bay.
7. Wait for the blue LED to perform a series of long blinks. The blue LED blinks when the handle
is locked in position indicating module detection and activation by the carrier board.
8. Observe blue LED status/activity. The module is fully installed when the blue LED stops
blinking and stays OFF.
Removal 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. Remove any cables that are connected to the AMC module face plate connectors.
2. Gently pull the module latch outwards, approximately 3 mm away from its locked position.
