12.4 Use Caution When Installing or Removing RTM
When first installing boards in an empty chassis or onto a carrier card, we
recommend that you start at the left of the card cage and work to the right.
When inserting or removing a board in a slot adjacent to other boards, use extra
caution to avoid damage to the pins and components located on the primary or
secondary sides of the boards.
12.4.1 Preserve EMI Compliance
To preserve compliance with applicable standards and regulations for
electromagnetic interference (EMI), during operation all front and rear openings on
the chassis or board faceplates must be filled with an appropriate card or covered
with a filler panel. If the EMI barrier is open, devices may cause or be susceptible to
excessive interference.
12.4.2 Understand Hot Swap
Your RTM is electrically designed for hot swap within a fully powered chassis. To
facilitate hot swap, there is a blue LED on the rear faceplate. This LED is under
software control.
If your system is using software that provides full hot swap capabilities, the software
will illuminate the blue hot swap LED on the rear faceplate when software has
stopped and it is safe to remove the advanced rear transition module.
If your system does not have hot swap-aware software running, behavior of the blue
LED is indeterminate. In this case, you may need to manually shut down applications
or operating systems running on the board prior to board removal, even if the blue
LED is lit.
Powering down or removing a board before the operating system or other software
running on the board has been properly shut down may cause corruption of data or
file systems.
12.5 Verify Slot Usage
Prevent possible damage to module components by verifying the proper slot usage
for your configuration.
12.6 Installing the Advanced Rear Transition Module
This section describes a recommended procedure for installing the RTM module in a
chassis.
Before you install your module, please read all cautions, warnings, and instructions
presented in this section.
