5. Hold the transceiver near the cable end and turn the connector side to the correct position
depending on the RTM orientation:

If the RTM is vertical, turn the transceiver so the connector side is on the right.

If the RTM is horizontal, turn the transceiver so the connector side is down.
6. Insert the connector end of the transceiver into the socket.
7. Once inserted into the socket, carefully slide the transceiver until its connector is fully seated
and the SFP snaps into position.
8. Repeat the previous steps for each transceiver being installed.
9. For transceivers with cable plugs installed on their cable end, keep the plugs in place until it
is time to connect cables to the transceivers. The cable plugs protect the internal
components of the transceivers from dust and foreign contaminants.
Note: If an SFP needs to be removed, open the latch and pull the SFP out of the socket.
Filler plug installation
If the SFP transceivers are removed, install either replacement transceivers or filler plugs to
protect the sockets, to control airflow, and to prevent electromagnetic interference.
Installing a hard disk drive
RadiSys ships the RTM without a hard disk drive (HDD) installed. A separate HDD can be
ordered from RadiSys and installed onto the RTM prior to installing the RTM into the shelf. For
information on suitable hard disk drives, see the
Promentum Component Compatibility Report
in the AdvancedTCA downloads section of the Web site at www.radisys.com/downloads .
The RTM ships with a sled for sliding the HDD into the correct mounting position on the RTM
(see
Figure 2 on page 13 ). To install the HDD on the RTM, first attach the HDD to the drive sled
with the provided screws and then mount the sled and HDD onto the RTM. The following
sections explain the installation procedure.
Before starting: Get a medium-size Phillips screwdriver and a suitable HDD.
Updating the drive information record
If you are installing a new hard disk drive or replacing an existing one, follow these steps to
ensure that the drive information record for the MMC has the correct hard disk drive type when
the RTM resets after it is inserted into the chassis.
1. Insert the RTM into the rear of the chassis in the slot corresponding to the associated front
module CPM.
2. Update the drive information record in the FRU data with data about the new hard disk drive
to be installed. Enter this rmcpta command:
setdriveinfo
3. Remove the RTM from the chassis and proceed to Attaching the drive sled to the HDD on
page 13 .
