Introduction
1.1Overview
The RTM-ATCA-736X-DD is a rear transition module (RTM) designed specifically to work with
the Artesyn ATCA-736x processor blade family. The RTM features a two-port 1 Gb Ethernet
controller, a four-port SAS controller and two removable disk cards called SAS Drive Carriers.
The disk cards each hold one 2.5" disk, and fit wholly within the RTM thermal envelope to
provide an environment for proper disk cooling.
Functionally, the RTM-ATCA-736X-DD utilizes two PCI Express buses to connect with the
Ethernet and SAS controllers. The Ethernet controller provides two 1000Base-T Ethernet
connections using RJ45 copper media jacks on the RTM back panel. These ports are compatible
with commodity off-the-shelf, non-proprietary CAT-5E or similar cables.
The SAS controller provides four SAS/SATA ports that each operates at 3 Gb/s. Two SAS ports
route to the removable disks, and two SAS ports route back to the Zone 3 connector for
additional storage expansion. For example, the front blade can add more storage by routing
these ports to disks or to a SAS expander.
Chapter 1
Finally, the RTM-ATCA-736X-DD includes numerous indicator LEDs and a modular
management controller (MMC) with a hot swap notification mechanism to coordinate disk
servicing the front blade OS. The MMC also performs intelligent monitoring and management
tasks and conforms to the PICMG 3.0 and AMC.0 R2 specification.
1.2Advanced RTM Features
The RTM-ATCA-736X-DD is an 8U (355.6 mm x 80mm) single slot Rear Transition Module that
includes the following interfaces and features:
The RTM-ATCA-736X-DD mounts to the ATCA carrier blades using zone-3 connectors,
conforming to PICMG 3.0 ATCA specification revision 3. Internally, the RTM-ATCA-736X-DD
connects zone-3 and the RTM faceplate as follows:

Each of these ports route to an Intel® 82580DB Ethernet controller accessed by the front blade
using PCI express signaling. These ports employ an RJ-45 connector with integrated LED for
link (green) and activity (amber). Each port auto negotiates to 10/100/1000BASE-T.

1.6Disk "Request Eject" Button
The RTM-ATCA-736X-DD includes a pair of recessed eject buttons that is marked on the panel
near port 1 (Figure 1-2). Using a thin pointed object, such as a paper clip, a user can depress the
eject button. This action will send a message to the front blade requesting the disk ejection
reset. If granted, the corresponding hard disk status light will turn amber.
Introduction
1.7Reset Button
The RTM-ATCA-736X-DD includes a recessed reset button that is located between the two
Ethernet ports (see Figure 1-2). Using a thin pointed object, such as a paper clip, a user can
depress the reset button. This action will send a message to the front blade requesting a
payload reset. If granted, the host blade and all peripherals will experience a warm reset.
1.8Software Support
Except for the drivers for the 82580 Ethernet controller (driver distributed by Intel) and for the
SAS1064E controller (driver distributed by LSI) , RTM-ATCA-736X-DD requires no other special
software to operate. When shipped from the factory, the expander is un-zoned and configured
for table routing.
