Powering down or removing a board before the operating system or other software running on
the board has been properly shut down may cause corruption of data or file systems.

2.7
Installing the Advanced Rear Transition Module
This section describes a recommended procedure for installing the RTM module in a chassis.
Before you install your module, please read all cautions, warnings, and instructions presented
in this section.
Handling modules and peripherals can result in static damage. Use a grounded wrist strap,
static-dissipating work surface, and antistatic containers when handling and storing
components.
Insert the board by holding the module handles. Do not exert unnecessary pressure on the
faceplate.
Hot swap compliant modules may be installed while the system is powered on. If a module is
not hot swap compliant, you should remove power to the slot or system before installing the
module. Please consult Artesyn Embedded Technologies documentation of the relevant front
board for further details about RTM hot swap.
Installation Process
1. Verify that you have taken the necessary antistatic precautions.
2. Go to the back of the system and choose an appropriate slot for the rear transition module.
Depending on the type of front blade the RTM is connected to, hot swapping the RTM will
cause the front board to power down its payload. Please consult Artesyn Embedded
Technologies documentation of the relevant front board for further details about RTM hot
swap.
