The ARTM-HDinstalls into the rear of the ATCA enclosure, opposite an ATCA blade server designed for compatibility with the AdvancedRTM specification. The ARTM-HD connects to the blade server’s Zone 3 rear connectors through the midplane. The ARTM-HD carries one serial port, one 10/100/1000 MBASE-T management port (RJ-45), and two external SAS ports to its faceplate (FIGURE 1-1).

FIGURE 1-2shows the physical relationship between the blade server, ARTM-HD, and the midplane in a typical ATCA system.
