Install the blade
The following procedure assumes that
your system is powered. If your system
is unpowered, you can disregard the
blue LED and skip the respective steps.
1. Ensure that the top and bottom ejec-
tor handles are in the outward posi-
tion 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 mod-
ule 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 resis-
tance. 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 indi-
cates that the blade announces its
presence to the shelf management
controller.
Note: If an RTM is connected to the front
blade, make sure that the handles of
both the RTM and the front blade are
closed in order 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.
