# 3.2 Peripherals

The following standard peripherals are available on the aTCA-6200 blad

# 3.2.1 Battery

The aTCA-6200 is equipped with a 3.0 V “coin cell” lithium battery for the RTC. To replace the battery, proceed as follows:

Turn off power
Remove the battery
Place the new battery in the socket

Make sure that you insert the battery with the correct orientation. The positive pole must be on the top.

The lithium battery must be replaced with an identical battery or a battery type recommended by the manufacturer. A suitable battery is the Panasonic CR2032.

Note: The user must be aware that the battery’s operational temperature range is less than that of the aTCA-6200’s storage temperature range. For exact temperature range information, refer to the battery manufacturer’s specifications.

Note: Care must be taken to ensure that the battery is correctly replaced. The battery should be replaced only with an identical or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The typical life expectancy of a 225mAh battery (VARTA CR2032) is 4-5 years with an average on-time of 8 hours per working day at an operating temperature of $3 0 ^ { \circ } \mathsf { C } .$ . However, this typical value varies considerably because the life expectancy is dependent on the operating temperature and standby (shutdown) time of the system in which it operates. To ensure that the lifetime of the battery has not been exceeded, it is recommended to change the battery after 3-4 years.

# 3.2.2 Reset

The aTCA-6200 is automatically reset by a precision voltage monitoring circuit that detects a drop in voltage below the acceptable operating limit of 4.85V for the 5V line and below 3.2V for the 3.3V line. Other reset sources include the Watchdog Timer, the face plate push-button switch and also the RESET signal from the IPMC. The aTCA-6200 responds to any of these sources by initializing local peripherals.

A reset will be generated by the following conditions:

 Power failure, +5 V supply falls below 4.1 V (typ.) or +3.3 V supply falls below 2.93 V (typ.)
 Pushbutton ´RESET" pressed
 Watchdog time-out
 IPMI controller reset

# 3.2.3 SMBus Devices

The aTCA-6200 provides a System Management Bus (SMBus) hosted by the C604 PCH as shown in the diagram below.

# 4 Hardware Platform Management

# 4.1 Platform Management Overview

The purpose of the hardware platform management system is to monitor, control, and assure proper operation of AdvancedTCA® Boards and other Shelf components. The hardware platform management system watches over the basic health of the system, reports anomalies, and takes corrective action when needed. The hardware platform management system can retrieve inventory information and sensor readings as well as receive event reports and failure notifications from Boards and other Intelligent FRUs. The hardware platform management system can also perform basic recovery operations such as power cycle or reset of managed entities.

The IPMI controller on aTCA-6200 supports an “intelligent” hardware management system, based on the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification. The hardware management system provides the ability to manage the power, cooling, and interconnect needs of intelligent devices; to monitor events; and to log events to a central repository.

# 5 Getting Started

The aTCA-6200 has been designed for easy installation. However, the following standard precautions, installation procedures, and general information must be observed to ensure proper installation and to preclude damage to the board, other system components, or injury to personnel.

# 5.1 Safety Requirements

The following safety precautions must be observed when installing or operating the aTCA-6200. ADLINK assumes no responsibility for any damage resulting from failure to comply with these requirements.

Exercised due care when handling the board as the heat sink can get very hot. Do not touch the heat sink when installing or removing the board. The board should not be placed on any surface or in any form of storage container until the board and heat sink have cooled down to room temperature.

If your board type is not specifically qualified as being hot swap capable, switch off the AMC system power before installing the board in a free AMC slot. Failure to do so could endanger your life or health and may damage your board or system.

Certain AMC modules require bus master and/or Rear I/O capability. If you are in doubt whether such features are required for the board you intend to install, please check your specific board and/or system documentation to make sure that your system is provided with an appropriate free slot in which to insert the board.

This ATCA blade contains electrostatic sensitive devices. Please observe the necessary precautions to avoid damage to your board:

Discharge your clothing before touching the assembly. Tools must be discharged before use.
Do not touch components, connector-pins or traces.
If working at an anti-static workbench with professional discharging equipment, please do not omit to use it.

# 5.2 Installing and Removing the aTCA-6200 Blade

# 5.2.1 Installing the Blade

Follow the steps to install the aTCA-6200 blade to the chassis.

# Step 1

Carefully align the board edges with the chassis guide rails and push the blade inwards.

# Step 2

Check if the catch hooks and alignment pins at both ends of the module are correctly inserted into the proper openings. Push inwards on the handles until the blade is firmly seated in the chassis. (Do not force the handles if there is any abnormal resistance or it could damage the connectors and/or backplane.)

# Hyper-threading

This item allows you to enable or disable the Hyper-Threading technology. Options: Enabled/Disabled.

# Active Processor Core

This item allows you to select the number of cores to enable in each processor package. This BIOS setting is present only when a multi-core processor is installed.

# Limit CPUID Maximum

When the computer is booted up, the operating system executes CPUID instruction to identify the processor and its capabilities. Before it can do so, it must first query the processor to find out the highest input value CPUID recognizes. This determines the kind of basic information CPUID can provide the operating system. This option allows you to circumvent problems with older operating systems that do not support Intel Pentium 4 processor with Hyper-Threading Technology.

When Enabled, the processor will limit the maximum CPUID input value to 03h when queried, even if the processor supports a higher CPUID input value. When Disabled, the processor will return the actual maximum CPUID input value of the processor when queried. Options: Enabled/Disabled.

# Execute Disable Bit

Intel’s Execute Disable Bit functionality can help prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution and prevents damage and worm propagation.

# Hardware Prefetcher

This is used for reducing the waiting time of DRAM. The hardware prefetcher looks for streams of data and tries to predict what data will be needed next by the processor and proactively tries to fetch these data. Options: Enabled/Disabled.

# Adjacent Cache Line P

It is opened for choose the optimal use of sequential memory access for performance purpose. Disable this setting for the application that requires high use of random memory access. Options: Enabled/Disabled.

# DCU Streamer Prefetch

There are two distinct hardware prefetchers on aTCA-6200. Data Cache Unit (DCU) streamer prefetcher and Data Cache Unit (DCU) IP-prefetcher. DCU streamer prefetchers detect multiple reads to a single cache line in a certain period of time and choose to load the following cache line to the L1 data caches.

This option allows user to enable or disable DCU streamer Prefetcher.

# DCU IP Prefetcher

DCU IP Prefetcher looks for sequential load history to determine whether to prefetch the data to the L1 caches.

This option allows user to enable or disable DCU IP Prefetcher.

# Intel Virtualization

Intel Virtualization Technology consists of components that support virtualization of platforms based on Intel processors, thereby enabling the running of multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions. Each partition behaves like a virtual machine (VM) and provides isolation and protection across partitions.

Intel VT requires the use of a processor with Intel VT support. Additionally, a third-party VMM may also be required. Options: Enabled/Disabled.

System BIOS provides two levels of password protection. They are Administrator password and User password. The system can be configured that all users must enter password every time the system boots or when setup utility is executed, using either Administrator password or User password.

The Administrator and User passwords activate two different levels of password security. If you select password support, you are prompted for 3 to 20 characters password. Type the password on the keyboard. The password doesn’t appear on the screen when typed. Make sure you write it down. If you forget it, you must drain NVRAM and re-configure it.

# Administrator Password

# 7 Serial Over LAN

Serial Over LAN (SOL) is a remote management mechanism in which the IPMI controller redirects the serial console from the blade via an IPM Interface session over the network with RMCP+ protocol. The aTCA-6200 supports SOL on the Base Interface which is powered by the Intel® 82576 Gigabit Ethernet Controller. The SOL feature supports transmit/receive of serial console messages from a remote site with full console management ability. The aTCA-6200 supports 2 channels (channel 1/2) and 2 user IDs for SOL. You can refer to the following section for more detailed configuration.

Note: SOL does not support login of 2 users at the same time.

# 7.1 Preparation for SOL Connection

Prepare a remote client with Linux OS and connect it to the network.

# 7.2 Configuring the Remote Client

# 7.2.1 Installing the Ipmitool for Remote Client

You can download the latest ipmitool and document from the following website http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net

Click on either the \*bz or \*gz version of ipmitool to download the bzipped or gzipped ipmitool source code tarball respectively.

To build the ipmitool, unzip and untar the downloaded ipmitool package, configure the ipmitool for your system, and then navigate to the created ipmitool directory.

Example using the gzipped tarball:

tar xvzf ipmitool\*.tar.gzcd ipmitool\*

Run the following to configure ipmitool for your system:

./configure

Build the source code and install ipmitool:

make

make install

Now your remote client is ready to connect to the target aTCA-6200 blade.

Note: The install must be run with root permissions to overlay the existing ipmitool utility in /usr/local/bin.

# 7.3 Configuring the Target aTCA-6200

# 7.3.1 BIOS Configuration

You can refer to section 6.3.9/6.3.10 to enable Serial Port Console Redirection

# 7.3.2 Linux GRUB Settings

Linux GRUB supports sending messages to the serial console. The following lines should be added to the top of the /boot/grub/grub.conf file.

```shell
default=1
timeout=5
serial --unit=1 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal --timeout=15 serial console
```

The following parameters need to be passed to each instance of the linux kernel. They should be added to the kernel line. It would be helpful if GRUB supported variable substitution so that the parameters only needed to be defined in one place.

```javascript
console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200n8
```

The example is below:

```txt
title SOL (2.6.18-128.el5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ console=tty0
console=ttyS1,115200n8
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-128.el5.img
```

# 7.3.3 Linux System Settings

Linux needs to be told to listen for logins on the serial port. This is done by adding the following line to /etc/inittab.

Add the following line to the init configuration file /etc/inittab.

s1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty –L ttyS1 115200 vt100

Now your target aTCA-6200 is ready for SOL connection.

# 7.4 Establish SOL Connection

Execute the following command from your remote client to establish the SOL Connection Command:

ipmitool -I lanplus -H &lt;Target IPMC IP &gt; -C &lt; Cipher Suite Id &gt; -U &lt;User Name&gt; -P &lt;Passsword&gt; sol activate

Note: Please refer to the following table for the Cipher Suite Id
