Incorrect product installation and removal can result in product malfunctioning.
When plugging the product in or removing it, do not press on the face plate but use the handles.
Limitization of Operating Temperature Range
Installing AMC modules with small operating temperature ranges onto the blade may further
restrict the operating temperature range of the blade.
Make sure that the operating temperature of any installed AMC modules and the blade as a
bundle are within allowed limits.
Installation Procedure
The following describes how to install an AMC module into an AMC bay of the base board. The
installation procedure assumes that the AMC module is being hot-inserted, that means the
base board is powered. The procedure for the cold insertion, that means the base board is not
powered, is the same, except that you need not wait for the blue LED indications to proceed.
1. Make sure you are in an ESD-safe environment.
2. Identify the AMC bay to be used for the installation.
3. If the required AMC bay is occupied by an AMC filler panel, you will need to remove
the filler panel before proceeding with the installation procedure. The removal
procedure for the filler panel is the same as described in the Removal procedure
which follows immediately after this procedure. Ignore steps that mention the blue
LED.

Hardware Preparation and Installation
4. Ensure that AMC module handle is in the extracted position: pulled outward, away
from the face plate.
5. Using your thumb, apply equal and steady pressure on the face plate as necessary
to carefully slide the AMC module into the guides rails.
6. Continue to gently push the module along the guide rails till the module is fully
engaged with the connector. Avoid using excessive force during this operation.
7. Wait for the blue LED to glow. The blue LED glows when the AMC module is
completely engaged with the connector.
8. Press module handle inwards toward the face plate to lock the AMC module on
AMC bay.
9. Wait for the blue LED to perform a series of long blinks. The blue LED blinks when
the handle is locked in position indicating module detection and activation by the
carrier board.
38
10.Observe blue LED status/activity. The module is fully installed when the blue LED
stops blinking and stays OFF.
Removal Procedure
The following describes how to remove an AMC module from the base board. The procedure
assumes that the base board is powered. If it is not powered, the steps regarding the blue LED
can be ignored and skipped.
1. Make sure you are in an ESD safe environment.
2. Remove any cables that are connected to the AMC module face plate connectors.
3. Gently pull the module latch outward, approximately 3 mm from its locked
position.
PrAMC-7311 Installation and Use (6806800P34D)
Page 39
Hardware Preparation and Installation
4. Wait for the blue LED to first perform short blinks, and then glow persistently.
Data Loss
Removing the blade with the blue LED still blinking causes data loss.
Wait until the blue LED is permanently illuminated, before removing the blade.
5. Once the blue LED glows persistently, gently pull the AMC module handle outward
to disconnect the module from the AMC connectors. Continue to gently slide the
module outward along the guide rails.
Poor Shelf Cooling and EMC Compliance Violation
An empty AMC bay may result in poor shelf cooling and strong EMC radiation and thus lead to
EMC compliance violation.
Therefore, always cover empty or unused AMC bays with a filler panel.
6. Install AMC filler panel.

The following define the PCH IRQ Routing configurations.
The Basic Input Output System (BIOS) provides an interface between the operating system and
the hardware of the blade. It is used for hardware configuration. Before loading the operating
system, BIOS performs basic hardware tests and prepares the blade for the initial boot-up
procedure.
BIOS Setup enables configuration of the following features:
Hardware set-up utility for setting configuration data
Multi-boot for a flexible boot order
The BIOS complies with the following specifications:
Plug and Play BIOS Specification 1.0A
PCI BIOS Specification 2.1
Chapter 6
BIOS Boot Specification 1.01
PXE 2.0
The BIOS set-up program is required to configure the hardware of the blade. This configuration
is necessary for operating the blade and connected peripherals. Since storage of configuration
data needs to be nonvolatile, it is stored in a part of the boot flash.
When unsure about configuration settings, restore the default values. Default values are
provided in case you want to reset settings to recover from an unwanted change in values. To
rectify mistakes use <F2> on the keyboard to return to setup and restore the system defaults
by pressing <F9> (this is only valid when using a real keyboard, not when using console
redirection). Alternatively you can press <F2> to return to the BIOS setup and go to the Exit
menu and select Load setup Defaults.
When default BIOS values are loaded, the values will affect all setup items. The values will also
affect the previously altered reset options.
When default values are set, displayed default values are not yet stored and will not be effective
for the next boot. They are just loaded to be displayed. They become effective only after saving
and exiting the BIOS setup.
The menus shown in this chapter are from a typical system. The actual menus displayed on the
screen may be quite different and depend on the hardware and features installed on the system.

BIOS does not support the translation if TeraTerm emulation is used. For putty emulation, you
should set the putty session as SCO if the BIOS setting is ANSI. If the putty session is used as
VT100+, then the BIOS setting should be VT100. TeraTerm does not work with the F2 key.
Product Damage or Loss of Regulatory Compliance
The serial port is meant for development/debug/craft purpose only.
The serial cable is not meant to be connected during normal field operation. The PrAMC-7311
has not been qualified for regulatory compliance with the serial cable connected.
6.3Configuration Settings
When the system is turned on or rebooted, the presence and functionality of the system
components is tested by POST (Power-On Self Test).

Select either [Exit Saving Changes] or [Save Changes] after making a selection in the setup
menus. Both procedures store the selections displayed in the menus in CMOS. At next boot up,
BIOS configures the system according to the setup selection stored in CMOS. Refer to Exit Menu
on page 111 for more details.
CMOS is a generic term that is used to refer to the storage device that stores BIOS configuration
data.

Make sure that BIOS is properly configured prior to installing the operating system and its
drivers. If changes have been saved in the setup, the next time the blade boots, BIOS will
configure the system according to the setup selections stored. If those values cause the system
boot to fail, reboot and enter setup to get the default values or to change the selections that
caused the failure.
Data Corruption
If power to the blade is removed while the BIOS is still updating changes to the flash, the
changes will not be saved, and worse, the flash may be corrupted.
Whenever you select the Exit Saving Changes option to save changes to BIOS setup and exit, do
not power the blade down before BIOS reboots.
