2.7 AMC Module Installation and Removal
The blade comes with an AMC Bay. For more information, see AMC Bay, on page 84 .
Damage of Circuits
 Electrostatic discharge and incorrect installation and removal of the blade can damage
circuits or shorten its life.
 Before touching the blade or electronic components, make sure that you are working in
an ESD-safe environment.
AMC Module Damage
 The AMC bay supports only AMC modules that are officially supported by Artesyn
Embedded Technologies. Installing and operating other AMC modules may damage
the AMC bay and the blade.
Limitation of Operating Temperature Range
 Installing AMC modules with small operating temperature ranges into the ATCA-F125
may further restrict the operating temperature range of the ATCA-F125.
 Make sure that the operating temperature of any installed AMC modules and the ATCA-
F125 as a bundle are within allowed limits.
Poor Shelf Cooling and EMC Compliance Violation
 An empty AMC bay may result in poor shelf cooling and strong EMC radiation and lead
to EMC compliance violation.
 Always cover empty or unused AMC bays with a filler panel.
