Any optional items ordered

When installing or servicing the system or accessories, 
strictly observe the safety precautions in the 

Safety Notes 

Summary

. Ignoring these instructions can void the system 

warranty and cause personal injury or property damage.

2 ESD

Electrostatic discharge and incorrect installation or 
removal of the card can damage circuit or shorten its life.

Use a properly grounded ESD wrist strap or make work 
in an ESD-safe environment. Connect to the ESD 
connector at the front or the rear of the system.

3 Site preparation

Prior to installation, prepare your site. For information on the 
environmental requirements refer to the 

Penguin Edge™ ATCA-

7540 Series Installation and Use Manual

Operating temperature is the temperature of the air circulating 
around the blade, not the actual component temperature.

4 Replace the M.2 Riser

First, remove the M.2 riser assembly from the ATCA blade. You 
need a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

1. Loosen the bracket screw near the Zone 3 connectors to allow 

access to the standoff screw, see illustration 

A

2. Unscrew the two M2.5 x 4mm screws that secure the old M.2 

riser assembly to the blade.

3. Firmly grasp the assembly and gently disconnect it from the 

blade connector by lifting vertically until it releases.

4. Put the riser assembly and screws aside. 

Before installing the replacement M.2 riser assembly (1) onto the 

ATCA blade, attach one bracket to each side of the assembly, as 

shown.
5. Align bracket (2) with the alignment hole on the front side of the 

assembly.

6. Insert one pan head screw (M2.5 x 6mm) through the bracket 

and assembly alignment holes, see illustration

 B

. Give the screw 

just enough of a turn to equal two threads.

Note:

 This keeps the brackets in place and allows for up/down 

movement and a 10 degree rotation of the mounting screw for 
final mounting.

7. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for bracket (3), mounting it on the 

backside of the assembly, see illustration 

C

.

To install the riser assembly on to the blade, follow these steps:
8. Grasp each side of the assembly, pinching the bracket and 

assembly together to avoid interference with the Zone 3 
connectors.
