Install an ARTM

A compatible ARTM can be used with the blade server for rear I/O access. The ARTM enables access to the network, a boot device, and a console terminal. You can use one of the Sun Netra CP32x0 ARTMs, a compatible third-party ARTM, or you can design your own compatible ARTM.

1. Take antistatic precautions.

   See Safety Requirements.

2. From the rear of the system, choose the corresponding slot for the ARTM.

   The ARTM must be installed, inline, behind a compatible blade server.

   For example, if the blade server will be installed in slot 3, the corresponding ARTM must be installed at the back of the system in slot 3. If you do not install the ARTM and the blade server in corresponding slots, the system will recognize the blade server and not the ARTM.

   When facing the front of the ATCA chassis, slots are numbered left to right, but when facing the rear of the chassis, slots are numbered from right to left.

3. Remove the slot filler panel from the selected slot, if necessary.
4. Retrieve the ARTM from the ship kit.
5. Configure the ARTM connectors for the blade server.

   See Configuring Ports and Pins.

   If you are using one of the Sun Netra 32x0 ARTMs, refer to the documentation for detailed information.

6. Prepare the ARTM by opening the injector/ejector latch at the top of the module.

7. Carefully align the edges of the ARTM with the card guides in the appropriate slot.

   Look into the enclosure to verify correct alignment of the rails in the guides.

8. Keep the ARTM aligned in the guides, and slide the module in until the injector/ejector latches engage the card cage.
9. Push the ARTM into the midplane connectors, and close the latch.
10. Tighten the locking screws to ensure that the module is secured into the ATCA shelf.
