Ejector Handles

 

 

Module Damage

If the blade is not fully aligned with the interface in the backplane, too much force may twist the pins on the blade or backplane.

Do not exert too much force when you insert the blade.

Note the following points at the time of installing RTM-ATCA-7350:

zMake sure that you wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD)-preventive wrist strap to prevent the static electricity from hurting you or damaging the device.

zKeep your personal objects such as your clothes away from RTM-ATCA-7350. To prevent the static electricity on clothing, you need to put on antistatic clothing.

zRTM-ATCA-7350 is installed in the slot paired with the server blade slot at the back side of the shelf. RTM-ATCA-7350 is powered from the payload power of the front board. You should install RTM-ATCA-7350 before payload power of the front board is turned on. Hot swap of the RTM-ATCA-7350 while under power is not supported.

zHold the ejector handles and the face plate when you insert or remove RTM-ATCA-7350. Do not touch the components inside of the blades.

zKeep the blade vertical when you install RTM-ATCA-7350. Align the blade with the slot and then insert it in the shelf.

2.4.1Ejector Handles

RTM-ATCA-7350 is powered by the server blade in the slot paired with the RTM-ATCA-7350 slot. RTM-ATCA-7350 does not support hot swap. As shown in Figure 1-4, the face plate of RTM-ATCA-7350 provides an upper and a lower ejector handles. The ejector handles help to insert, remove, fasten, power on, and power off RTM-ATCA-7350.

2.4.2ESD Prevention

Static electricity may hurt you or damage the device. To minimize the damage, pay attention to the following points:

zBefore you operate the device, wear the ESD-preventive wrist strap. Both terminals of the ESD-preventive wrist strap must contact well. One terminal touches your bare skin, and the other is inserted in the jack at the front or back side of the shelf. For details on how to wear the ESD-preventive wrist strap, refer Wearing the ESD-Preventive Wrist Strap on page 21.

zAvoid moving your body as much as possible. Movement gathers static electricity around you.

zDo not touch the solder point, pin, or bare circuit.

zDo not leave the device in the place where others can operate it.
