Artesyn RTM ATCA-F140 Installation and Use (September 2014) - Manual (Page 55)

Safety Notes
RTM-ATCA-F140 Installation and Use (6806800M97G) 55
Damage to RTM/Backplane or System Components
Bent pins or loose components can cause damage to the RTM, the backplane, or other system
components.
Therefore, carefully inspect the RTM and the backplane for both pin and component integrity
before installation.
Artesyn and our suppliers take significant steps to ensure there are no bent pins on the
backplane or connector damage to the blades/RTMs prior to leaving the factory. Bent pins
caused by improper installation or by inserting blades with damaged connectors could void
the Artesyn warranty for the backplane or blades.
System Damage
The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intra-
building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or
subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its
wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type
4 ports as described in GR-1089) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The
addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces
metallically to OSP wiring.
Operation
Damage of the RTM
High humidity and condensation on the RTM surface causes short circuits.
Do not operate the RTM outside the specified environmental limits. Make sure the RTM is
completely dry and there is no moisture on any surface before applying power.
