2 ESD
Electrostatic discharge and incorrect installation or
removal of the product can damage circuit or shorten its
life.
Use a properly grounded ESD wrist strap or work in an
ESD-safe environment.
Connect to the ESD connector at the front or the rear of
the system.
3 Site preparation
Prior to installation, prepare your site. For information on the
environmental and power requirements, see the ATCA-7540 Series
Installation and Use manual.
Operating temperatures refer to the temperature of the air circulating
around the blade and not to the actual component temperature.
4 Install the DIMM
The ATCA-7540-D is equipped with a specially designed DIMM
cover with foam supports to ensure a secure connection of each
DIMM in its slot during operation in rugged environments.
NOTE: Some blade variants come with the DIMM already installed.
For thermal safety concerns, no 4-rank DIMMs or stacked DIMMs
are allowed. At least one DDR4 VLP RDIMM must be installed in a
socket labeled DIMM A through DIMM F, see the marking on the
outside edge of the blade. Installing RDIMMs in the remaining
sockets is optional. For a list of tested memory modules, refer to the
ATCA-7540 Series Installation and Use manual.
1. Remove nine (9) screws that secure the DIMM cover to the
blade as shown below.
2. From the connector side of the blade, carefully lift the DIMM
cover at a slant (about 35°), and pull the cover from the blade,
clearing the battery near the front panel.
3. Store the DIMM cover close to the blade.
NOTE: The serial number on the DIMM cover and the serial number
on the blade are the same. If DIMMs are being installed on more
than one blade, make sure that the correct DIMM cover is installed
on the corresponding blade so that the serial numbers match.
4. Open the locks of the memory module socket.
5. Press the module carefully into socket. As soon as the memory
module has been fully inserted, the locks automatically close.
6. If applicable, repeat the steps 4 and 5 to install additional
memory modules.
7. When re-installing the DIMM cover, make sure the serial number
of the blade and the serial number on the DIMM cover match.
8. To re-install the DIMM cover, hold it at a 35° angle and slide the
edge under the front panel of the blade.
9. Line up the screw holes and replace all nine (9) screws to secure
the DIMM cover to the blade.
10.Install the blade into the system (see Step 6, Install the blade).
5 Install the M.2 NVME SSD
module
Some blade variants come with up to two M.2 NVME SSD modules
already installed. In this case, the blade can be installed directly into
the system (see Step 6).
Some blade variants do not have M.2 NVME SSD modules
installed. If SSD modules are needed, please refer to the
SSD Module and Hardware Kit NVME-M.2-1TB Quick Start Guide
(P/N 6806868A01) for installation instructions. This document can
be found using the Documentation Search function at
https://www.smartembedded.com/support/. Once installed, proceed
to Step 6, Install the blade.

6 Install the blade
The following procedure assumes that the system is powered. If it is
not powered, disregard the blue LED information below and skip its
respective step(s).
1. Prior to installing the blade into the slot, slide the top and
bottom latches into the handle release position and pull the
handles outward to unlatch the handles from the faceplate. Do
not pull the handles fully outward.
2. Insert the blade into the shelf by aligning the top and bottom
edges of the blade in the card guides of the shelf.
3. Apply equal and steady pressure to the blade to carefully slide
the blade into the shelf until you feel resistance. Continue to
push the blade gently until the blade connectors engage.
4. Fully insert the blade and push the handles towards the
faceplate. The latches automatically slide inwards and lock the
handles.
NOTE: If the shelf is powered, the blue LED (H/S) illuminates as
soon as the blade is connected to the backplane power pins. When
the blade is completely installed, the blue LED starts to blink. This
indicates that the blade has signified its presence to the shelf
management controller.
5. Wait until the blue LED is switched off and then fasten the
faceplate screws to secure the blade to the shelf. Torque the
faceplate screws to 0.40 N-m.
NOTE: When the blue LED is switched off and the green LED (IS) is
switched on, this indicates that the payload has been powered up
and the blade is active.
6. Connect cables to the face plate, if applicable. Refer to the
ATCA-7540 Series Installation and Use manual.
NOTE: If an RTM is connected to the ATCA-7540-D blade, make
sure that the handles of both the RTM and the ATCA-7540-D blade
are closed in order to power up the blade’s payload.
