When installing or servicing the
module or accessories, strictly
observe the safety precautions in
the Safety Notes. Otherwise, per-
sonal injury or property damage
may occur.
• Use either a properly grounded ESD wrist
strap or make sure that you are working
in an ESD-safe environment.
• Connect to the ESD connector at the
front or the rear of the system.
Make sure you receive all items of your
shipment:
• ATCA-8310 blade
• Other items that were ordered
• Printed Safety Notes
Prepare the installation
site
• For information on the environmental
and power requirements, see the ATCA-
8310 Installation and Use manual.
• Operating temperatures refer to the
temperature of the air circulating around
the blade and not to the actual compo-
nent temperature.
Notes:
• Some blade variants come with the DIMM
already installed.
• When installing DIMM memory modules, the
DIMM sockets farthest away on each memory
channel from the CPU device need to be popu-
lated first.
• For thermal reasons, no 4-rank DIMMs and no
dual-die DIMMs are allowed.

The following procedure assumes that your
system is powered. If your system is unpow-
ered, you can disregard the blue LED and
skip the respective step.
1. Ensure that the top and bottom ejector
handles are in the outward position by
squeezing the lever and the latch
together.
2. Insert the blade into the shelf by placing
the top and bottom edges of the blade in
the card guides of the shelf. Ensure that
the guiding module of the shelf and
blade are aligned properly.
3. Apply equal and steady pressure to the
blade to carefully slide the blade into the
shelf until you feel resistance. Continue
to gently push the blade until the blade
connectors engage.
4. Squeeze the lever and the latch together
and hook the lower and the upper handle
into the shelf rail recesses.
5. 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.
If your shelf is powered, as soon as the
blade is connected to the backplane
power pins, the blue LED is illuminated.
When the blade is completely installed,
the blue LED starts to blink. This indicates
that the blade announces its presence to
the shelf management controller.
