6. Keeping the module aligned with the guides, apply equal and steady pressure and slide the

module in until the injector/ejector mechanism engages with the retention bars.

7. Position your thumbs at the top and bottom of the RTM; simultaneously push in the module

and rotate the injector/ejector mechanisms inward to its closed position to seat and secure
the RTM. DO NOT FORCE THE BOARD INTO THE SLOT.

8. Tighten the two module retention screws to secure the module into the shelf.

9.

Power on the system, if necessary. Refer to your system manual for instructions on correctly
powering on the system. Once power is applied to the chassis, the internal MMC controller
runs a self-test that runs for approximately 10 seconds. Upon a successful power up self-
test, the blue hot swap LED will blink and then turn off, indicating that the module has been
placed in operation.

Removing the Advanced Rear Transition Module

The RTM-ATCA-736X-DD RTM is hot-swappable and can be removed from the chassis without
powering down its associated node board if supported by the front board. Please consult
Artesyn Embedded Technologiesdocumentation of the relevant front board for further details
about RTM hot swap. This section describes a recommended procedure for removing a board
module from a chassis.

Before you remove your module, please read all cautions, warnings, and instructions presented
in this section. Hot swap compliant modules may be removed while the system is powered on.
If the chassis is not hot swap compliant, you should remove power to the slot or system before
removing the module.

Removing an RTM

1. Loosen the locking screws on the rear transition module.

2. Rotate the top ejector handle to half way (HW) position. Do not remove the module

immediately.

3. If your host module is running a hot swap-aware software, the action of rotating the ejector

lever will start the shutdown process on the board. The software will slowly blink the blue
hot swap LED indicating the module is in the process of being deactivated.

4. Once the module has been deactivated, the blue LED will illuminate steadily. Once this is

done, you can extract the module by pulling on the module handle.
