4.2.3 Console/Management PC Connection
The aTCA-RN710 does not have its own faceplate outlet for the console connection. The
management of the RTM is only available through the front blade.
4.2.4 Service Port Connection
1G or 10G Ethernet traffic sources should be connected to corresponding SFP or SFP+ ports via
matching cable assemblies.
4.3 RTM Status Check at Bootloader
When all the hardware installation is done, one is able to run the commands through the front blade
monitoring port. The first software functional module during the bootup procedure is the bootloader on
the front blade. The bootloader initializes necessary devices on the front board including the RTM.
Shown in Figure 4-5 and Table 4-1 are the devices on the I2C Bus, which are connected to the Front
Blade. The P2041 in the figure is the Local Management Processor on the aTCA-N700 front blade,
which may be different on a different front blade.
