Safety Notes 

Summary

. Ignoring these instructions can void the 

system warranty and cause personal injury or property 
damage.

2 ESD

Electrostatic discharge and incorrect installation or 
removal of the card can damage circuit or shorten its 
life.

Use a properly grounded ESD wrist strap or make work 
in an ESD-safe environment. 

Connect to the ESD connector at the front or the rear of 
the system.

3 Site preparation

Make sure that all environmental and power requirements defined in 
the 

Penguin Solutions RTM-ATCA-F140 Installation and Use

 

manual are met.

Operating temperatures refer to the temperature of the air circulating 
around the blade and not to the actual component temperature.

4 Install the RTM

Note: The following procedure assumes that your system is 
powered. If your system is unpowered, you can disregard the 
blue LED and thus skip the respective step.

1. Visually inspect the RTM and zone 3 connectors on the front 

blade for damage or bent pins before attempting to insert a 
board. If any connector damage or pin damage is observed, 
stop before inserting the RTM and send the damaged item 
through proper repair channels. 

2. If the corresponding front blade is already installed, perform the 

following steps. Otherwise skip to step 3.

– On the front blade, verify the face plate screws that secure the 

blade to the shelf are tight. 

– Deactivate the front blade. Unlatch the lower handle by 

squeezing the lever and the latch together and turning the 
handle outward only enough to unlatch the handle from the 
face plate. Do not rotate the handle fully outward. 

– When the blue LED on the front blade is permanently 

illuminated, proceed to the next step.

3. Ensure that the top and bottom ejector handles on the RTM are 

in the outward position by squeezing the lever and the latch 
together. 

4. Insert the RTM into the shelf by placing the top and bottom 

edges of the RTM in the card guides of the shelf. Ensure that the 
guiding module of the front blade and RTM are aligned properly.

5. Apply equal and steady pressure to the RTM to carefully slide 

the RTM into the shelf until you feel resistance. Continue to 
gently push the RTM until the connectors engage. 

6. Squeeze the lever and the latch together and hook the lower and 

the upper handle into the shelf rail recesses.

7. Fully insert the blade and lock it to the shelf by squeezing the 

lever and the latch together and turning the handles towards the 
face plate.

8. Tighten the face plate screws which secure the RTM to the shelf.
9. If the front blade has already been installed (as in step 2), 

activate the front blade by squeezing its lower lever and latch 
together and press it back into the face plate.

10.If the front blade has not been installed, proceed with the 

installation instructions in the front blade installation and use 
manual.

Note: Make sure that the handles of both the RTM and the front 
blade are closed in order to power up the blade and RTM 
payload.

When the blue LED of the RTM is switched OFF and the green 
LED OK is switched ON, indicates that the payload of the RTM 
has been powered up and that the RTM is active.

11. Connect cables to the face plate, if applicable.

5 Removing the RTM

The following procedure assumes that your system is powered. If 
your system is unpowered, you can disregard the blue LED and skip 
the respective step.

1. On the front blade, unlatch the lower handle by squeezing the 

lever and the latch together and turning the handle outward 
only enough to unlatch the handle from the face plate. Do not 
rotate the handle fully outward.

2. Wait until the front board blue LED is illuminated permanently.

Note: If the LED continues to blink, a possible reason may be 
that upper layer software rejects the blade extraction request.

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 upper and lower handles and rotate fully 

outward.

6. Remove the blade from the shelf.
