3 Site preparation
•
Make sure that all environmental and power requirements
defined in the
ATCA-8130 BladeInstallation and Use
manual are met.
•
Operating temperatures refer to the temperature of the air
circulating around the blade and not to the actual
component temperature.
For more information about connecting cables and power cords,
refer to the
ATCA-8130 Blade Installation and Use
manual.
4 Install the DIMM
Notes:
Some blade variants come with the DIMM preinstalled.
When installing DIMM memory modules the DIMM sockets
farthest away on each memory channel from the CPU
device need to be populated first.
For thermal reasons, no 4-rank DIMMs and no dual-die
DIMMs are allowed.
1. If necessary, remove the blade from the system.
2. Open the locks of the memory module socket.
3. Press the memory module carefully into the socket. As soon as
the memory module is fully inserted, the locks automatically
close.
4. If necessary, repeat steps 2–3 to install additional memory
modules.
5 Install the ATCA-8310
The following procedure assumes that your system is powered. If
your system is unpowered, you can disregard the blue LED and skip
the respective step.
1. Ensure that the top and bottom ejector handles are in the
outward position by squeezing the lever and the latch
together.
2. Insert the blade into the shelf by placing the top and bottom
edges of the blade in the card guides of the shelf. Ensure that the
guiding module of the shelf and blade are aligned properly.
3. Apply equal and steady pressure to the blade to carefully slide
the blade into the shelf until you feel resistance. Continue to
gently push the blade until the blade connectors engage.
4. Squeeze the lever and the latch together and hook the lower and
the upper handle into the shelf rail recesses.
5. Fully insert the blade and lock it to the shelf by squeezing the
lever and the latch together and turning the handles towards the
face plate.
If your shelf is powered, as soon as the blade is connected to the
backplane power pins, the blue LED is illuminated.
When the blade is completely installed, the blue LED starts to
blink. This indicates that the blade announces its presence to the
shelf management controller.
Note:
If the RTM is connected to the front blade, make sure that the
handles of both the RTM and the front blade are closed to power up
the blade’s payload.
6. Wait until the blue LED is switched off, then tighten the face plate
screws which secure the blade to the shelf.
The switched off blue LED indicates that the blade’s payload has
been powered up and that the blade is active.
7. If necessary, connect cables to the face plate.
