2. INTRODUCTION
The NATIVE-C2 is a 2U MicroTCA chassis, which offers system designers the most performance
per U in a fully redundant configuration. 12 AMC slots give users the flexibility to con- figure
for a wide range of enterprise, industrial control, telecom, wireless, and other applications.
NATIVE-C2‘s unique card guide design eases the insertion/removal of AMCs. The replaceable,
redundant fabric backplane improves the serviceability of the system. NATIVE-C2 equips with
higher performance cooling unit – over 160 CFM of airflow though the chassis – for better
thermal profile.

3. QUICK START
To ensure proper functioning of the NATIVE-C2 during its usual lifetime, take the following
precautions before handling the board.
3.1. Unpacking
Electrostatic discharge, incorrect board installation, and uninstallation can damage circuits or
shorten their lifetime. Before touching integrated circuits, ensure to take all required
precautions for handling electrostatic devices.
Avoid touching gold contacts of the Connectors to ensure proper contact when inserting
modules into the NATIVE-C2.
Make sure that the chassis and its attachments are undamaged and complete according to
delivery note.
3.2. Mechanical Requirements
For operation, the NATIVE-C2 requires cooling units (included) and at least one power module
(separate order item).
Before installing or uninstalling modules in the NATIVE-C2, read the Installation Guide and
the User’s Manual of the modules.
Check all installed boards and modules for steps that you have to take before turning on or
off the power. After taking those steps, turn on or off the power if necessary.
Make sure, parts to be installed / removed are hot-swap-capable, if you do not switch off the
power.
Ensure that all modules are connected to the NATIVE-C2 with the connector completely
inserted.
3.3. Voltage Requirements
3.3.1. Power supply
The power consumption of the NATIVE-C2 depends on the number and variants of installed
Power Modules and AMCs.
NATIVE-C2
TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL V1.3
QUICK START - 11 -
3.3.2. Hot-Swap
The NATIVE-C2 supports hot-swapping, which means that hot-swap-capable modules can be
inserted or extracted during normal system operation without affecting other modules.
Make sure to follow the procedure exactly to prevent the module or the system from damage!
Insertion of a hot-swap-capable Module
• Ensure the module supports hot-swapping
• Ensure that the hot-swap-handle of the module is in “unlock”-position (pulled out)
• Push the module carefully into the dedicated connector until it is completely inserted
• The blue HS-LED turns solid on
• With pushing the hot-swap-handle to “lock”-position, the HS-LED starts blinking and
the IPMI-Controller of the NATIVE-C2 backplane detects the board
• If the information provided by the module is valid, the NATIVE-C2 backplane enables
payload power and the blue HS-LED turns off
Extraction of a hot-swap-capable Module
• Pull the hot-swap-handle in “unlock”-position
• The blue HS-LED starts blinking
• The IPMI-Controller of the NATIVE-C2 backplane disables payload power
• The HS-LED turns solid on
• Pull the module carefully out of the NATIVE-C2

5.6. Compliance to RoHS Directive
According to RoHS-Directive 2017/2102/EU, the NATIVE-C2 complies to EN 50581:2012
Although many of hardware products of N.A.T. are exempted from the RoHS directive it is a
declared policy of N.A.T. to provide all products fully compliant to the RoHS directive as soon
as possible. For this purpose since January 31st, 2005 N.A.T. is requesting RoHS compliant
deliveries from its suppliers. Special attention and care has been paid to the production cycle,
so that wherever and whenever possible RoHS components are used with N.A.T. hardware
products already.

TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL V1.3
SPECIFICATION AND COMPLIANCES - 38 -
5.7. Compliance to WEEE Directive
Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Commission on "Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment" (WEEE) predicts that every manufacturer of electrical and electronical equipment
which is put on the European market has to contribute to the reuse, recycling and other forms
of recovery of such waste so as to reduce disposal. Moreover this directive refers to the
Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Commission on the "Restriction of the use of certain
Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment" (RoHS).
Having its main focus on private persons and households using such electrical and electronic
equipment the directive also affects business-to-business relationships. The directive is quite
restrictive on how such waste of private persons and households has to be handled by the
supplier/manufacturer; however, it allows a greater flexibility in business-to-business relation-
ships. This pays tribute to the fact with industrial use electrical and electronical products are
commonly integrated into larger and more complex environments or systems that cannot
easily be split up again when it comes to their disposal at the end of their life cycles.
As N.A.T. products are solely sold to industrial customers, by special arrangement at time of
purchase the customer agreed to take the responsibility for a WEEE compliant disposal of the
used N.A.T. product. Moreover, all N.A.T. products are marked according to the directive with
a crossed out bin to indicate that these products within the European Community must not be
disposed with regular waste.
5.8. Compliance to EMC Directive
According to Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 2014/30/EU, the NATIVE-C2
complies to
EN 55032:2012 (CISPR 22:2008)
EN 61000-3-2:2006 + A1:2009 / + A2:2009 (IEC 61000-3-2)

5.9. Compliance to REACH
The REACH EU regulation is known to N.A.T. GmbH. N.A.T. did not receive information from
their European suppliers of substances of very high concern of the ECHA candidate list. Article
7(2) of REACH is notable as no substances are intentionally being released by NAT products
and as no hazardous substances are contained. Information remains in effect or will be
otherwise stated immediately to our customers.
