4.3.1 Installing the Board
To install the board into an AdvancedTCA shelf, proceed as follows.
Installation Procedure
The following procedure describes the installation of the board. It assumes that your system is
powered. If your system is unpowered, you can disregard the blue LED and thus skip the
respective step. In this case it is a purely mechanical installation.
1. Put on an ESD wrist strap.
2. Connect the strap to the shelf by attaching the front or rear ESD jack /ESD snap.
3. Insert the board into the shelf by placing the left and right edges of the board in the
card guides of the shelf. Ensure that the guiding module of shelf and board are
aligned properly. The alignment pin facilitates the insertion and prevents bent pins.
4. Slide the board into the shelf by using the extraction handles until you feel
resistance.
5. Wait until the blue LED is illuminated.
6. Tighten the screws on the left and on the right of the board.
In this way the handle switch activator is closed and the board can be powered. The
blue LED blinks.
7. Wait until the blue LED is switched off.
The switched off blue LED indicates that the board is activated.
8. Attach cables to the front panel connectors as necessary.
