2 ATCA-S201 Installation
This chapter contains the procedures for installing and removing the ATCA-S201 10GbE RAID
storage services blade.
2.1 Installation and removal of the ATCA carrier blade
The ATCA-S201 10GbE RAID storage services blade can be installed into an ATCA
shelf (chassis) with a midplane made for front and rear board installations.
2.2 Important information about your chassis
The Chassis backplane often designates certain slots as hub slots and the others as
general purpose node slots. Be certain to select a general purpose node slot for
installation. If this installation includes a companion advanced rear transition
module (ARTM), install the ARTM first. These back-to-back slots have cut-outs that
permit the front carrier board to pass signals to the ARTM via the Zone-3 connector
complex.
Before installing the blade module, verify the module’s part number to ensure that
the correct module is being installed into the system. For information on identifying
the blade module, see Section 1.6 Part Number, Serial Number, and Address Labels.
2.3 Safety Statement
The ATCA-S201 is designed to comply with UL60950-1, and is intended to be used
with similarly tested ATCA and AMC products that have a user’s guide detailing user
installation.
2.3.1 Observe maximum module current requirements
Be sure to validate the host chassis, and the host chassis meets the maximum
current requirements.
The ATCA-S201 includes a stacked power supply module with maximum rated
output of 210W of power. This represents a surplus of power vs. the expected
power consumption.
