What’s in the box?

Observe ESD-safe 

measures

• Use either a properly grounded ESD wrist 

strap or make sure that you are working 
in an ESD-safe environment. 

• Connect your ESD wrist strap to the ESD 

connector at the front or the rear of the 
system.

Checking installation 

environment

• Leave enough space around the cabinet. 

Prevent air blocking of fans and provide 
controlled ambient air at shelf air-inlet to 
ensure sufficient airflow and appropriate 
heat exchange in the shelf.

• Consider heat dissipation when you 

choose slots to install blades. If the shelf is 
not fully configured, install the blades in 
scattered slots. Unoccupied slots must be 
protected with appropriate blank filler 
blades to prevent air leaks.

Install RTM-ATCA-7180

The following procedure describes the 
installation of RTM-ATCA-7180. It assumes 
that your system is powered on. If your sys-
tem is powered off, you can disregard the 
blue LED and thus skip the respective step. 
In this case it is a purely mechanical installa-
tion.
1. Wear the ESD-preventive wrist strap.
2. Take RTM-ATCA-7180 out of the anti-

static package.

3. Fully open the upper and lower ejector 

handles of the RTM.

4. Align the upper and lower sides of RTM-

ATCA-7180 with the guide rails (the 
edges of the slot). Slide RTM-ATCA-7180 
along the guide rails until the positioning 
pins of RTM-ATCA-7180 are inserted in 
the positioning holes in the shelf.

5. Use a screwdriver to fasten the captive 

screws clockwise to fix RTM-ATCA-7180. 
The LEDS of the RTM are off.

6. Connect the respective cables.
7. Make sure that the handles are in the 

open position.
