2. INTRODUCTION
The NATIVE-C1 offers the performance benefit of MicroTCA in a space-saving horizontal-
mounted 1U height. 6 AMC slots offer users the flexibility to configure for a wide range of
applications, enterprise, industrial control, telecom, wireless, and others.
Its unique card guide design eases the insertion/removal of AMCs. The replaceable backplane
improves the serviceability of the system. NATIVE-C1 equips with higher performance cooling
unit –over 100 CFM of airflow though the chassis –for better thermal profile.

QUICK START - 10 -
3. QUICK START
To ensure proper functioning of the NATIVE-C1 during its usual lifetime, take the following
precautions before handling the board.
3.1. Unpacking
Electrostatic discharge, incorrect board installation, and uninstallation can damage circuits or
shorten their lifetime. Before touching integrated circuits, ensure to take all required
precautions for handling electrostatic devices.
Avoid touching gold contacts of the Connectors to ensure proper contact when inserting
modules into the NATIVE-C1.
Make sure that the chassis and its attachments are undamaged and complete according to
delivery note.
3.2. Mechanical Requirements
For operation, the NATIVE-C1 requires cooling units (included) and a power module (separate
order item).
Before installing or uninstalling modules in the NATIVE-C1, read the Installation Guide and
the User’s Manual of the modules.
Check all installed boards and modules for steps that you have to take before turning on or
off the power. After taking those steps, turn on or off the power if necessary.
Make sure, parts to be installed / removed are hot-swap-capable, if you do not switch off the
power.
Ensure that all modules are connected to the NATIVE-C1 with the connector completely
inserted.
3.3. Voltage Requirements
3.3.1. Power supply
The power consumption of the NATIVE-C1 depends on the number and variants of installed
Power Modules and AMCs.

QUICK START - 11 -
3.3.2. Hot-Swap
The NATIVE-C1 supports hot-swapping, which means that hot-swap-capable modules can be
inserted or extracted during normal system operation without affecting other modules.
Make sure to follow the procedure exactly to prevent the module or the system from damage!
Insertion of a hot-swap-capable Module
•Ensure the module supports hot-swapping
•Ensure that the hot-swap-handle of the module is in “unlock”-position (pulled out)
•Push the module carefully into the dedicated connector until it is completely inserted
•The blue HS-LED turns solid on
•With pushing the hot-swap-handle to “lock”-position, the HS-LED starts blinking and
the IPMI-Controller of the NATIVE-C1 backplane detects the board
•If the information provided by the module is valid, the NATIVE-C1 backplane enables
payload power and the blue HS-LED turns off
Extraction of a hot-swap-capable Module
•Pull the hot-swap-handle in “unlock”-position
•The blue HS-LED starts blinking
•The IPMI-Controller of the NATIVE-C1 backplane disables payload power
•The HS-LED turns solid on
•Pull the module carefully out of the NATIVE-C1
