Introduction
1.1 Overview
The RTM-ATCA-F140 is a rear transition module (RTM) as defined in PICMG 3.0 Revision
3.0 AdvancedTCA Base Specification and PICMG 3.1 Revision 1.0 Specification
Ethernet/Fiber Channel for AdvancedTCA Systems. It provides several base and fabric
channel Ethernet interfaces connected to the front blade through the Zone 3 connector. The
RTM-ATCA-F140 provides the I/O connection for the ATCA-F140 switch blade at the back
of the system. RTM-ATCA-F140 is directly connected to and powered by the front blade.
The RTM-ATCA-F140-D is a ruggedized version of the RTM-ATCA-F140. It features a
specially designed block to guide a captive screw to securely attach it to a special
attachment block on the ATCA-F140-D. The RTM-ATCA-F140-D is electrically identical to
the RTM-ATCA-F140. References to the RTM-ATCA-F140 throughout this manual also
apply to the RTM-ATCA-F140-D. Specific information for the RTM-ATCA-F140-D can be
found in
