RTM Installation and Removal
The MVME721X RTM does not support hot swap. You should remove power to the rear slot or
system before installing the module. Before installing the MVME721X RTM, you may need to
manually configure the switch and install a PMC I/O Module (PIM). Refer to
LEDs, and Connectors, on page 39
for switch settings and PIM installation.
2.3.1
PMC I/O Module (PIM) Installation
NOTE: If a PMC I/O Module (PIM) has already been installed on the MVME721X RTM, or if you
are installing an RTM as it has been shipped from the factory, disregard this procedure.
For PIM installation, perform the following steps:
1. Attach an ESD strap to your wrist. Attach the other end of the ESD strap to the chassis as a
ground. The ESD strap must be secured to your wrist and the chassis to ground throughout
the procedure.
2. Carefully remove the RTM from its packaging and lay it flat on a stable surface.
3. Remove the PIM filler from the front panel of the RTM.
Damage of Circuits
Electrostatic discharge and incorrect RTM installation and removal can damage circuits
or shorten its life.
Before touching the RTM or electronic components, make sure that you are working in
an ESD-safe environment.
Damage of the RTM
Incorrect installation of the RTM can cause damage to the RTM.
Only use handles when installing or removing the RTM to avoid damage/deformation to
the face plate and/or the PCB.
