is in properly working conditions and that the AMC HV-PANDA ESD Strip is not
covered and that provides a clean surface for contact.
Pull the AMC module Hot-Swap Handle until it is in the unlocked position.
Insert the HV-PANDA board in the top and bottom card guides of the AMC slot
and slide the card fully in until the edge connector is fully mated to the MTCA
backplane connector (see
Figures 2.1
and
2.2
). If the board is correctly inserted into
the MTCA chassis the extended face plate of the AMC front panel shall be almost in
contact with the sub-rack retention interface and allow the front panel screws to be
locked to the chassis.
Do not force the AMC card in the chassis as this may result in damage to the board.
If difficulty arises in fully inserting the board into the chassis make sure it is correctly
inserted in both the card guides of the sub-rack, if so remove it from the slot and check
for any possible obstruction coming from the card guides or nearby struts.
