2.4.2 Removing the RTM
This section describes how to remove the RTM from an AdvancedTCA system.
Removal Procedure
The following procedure describes the removal of the RTM. 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 procedure.
1. On the front blade, slide the latch into the release position and pull out the handle outward
to unlatch the handle from the face plate. Do not rotate the handle fully outward.
The front board blue LED blinks indicating that the blade power-down process is ongoing.
2. Wait until the front board blue LED is illuminated permanently.
3. Remove face plate cables, if applicable.
4. Unfasten the screws of the RTM face plate until the RTM is detached from the shelf.
5. Unlatch the RTM handle and rotate fully outward.
6. Remove the blade from the shelf.
Data Loss
 Removing the blade, with the blue LED still blinking, will cause data loss. Wait until the
blue LED is permanently illuminated, before removing the blade.
If the LED continues to blink, a possible reason may be that upper layer software rejects the
blade extraction request
