# 3 Getting Started
# 3.1 Removing the Chassis Cover
Follow the instructions below to remove the chassis top cover.
mise en garde
All installation procedures are restricted to qualified personnel.
Toutes les procédures d'installation sont réservées au personnel qualifié.
1. Remove the 2 screws on each side of the top cover (small arrows) and loosen the captive screw at the rear of the cover (circled).
2. Press down on the two depressions with your thumbs and slide the cover towards the rear of the chassis (large arrows). Remove the cover.
To reinstall the cover, slide it towards the front of the chassis, then replace and tighten the screws loosened and removed in Step 1.
# 3.2 Installing Memory Modules
When installing memory modules in the MECS-7210, the blue DIMM slots of each channel can be freely populated (it is suggested to fill the slots from “outside to inside” for each CPU). However, the black DIMM slots must be populated after the blue DIMM slots are completely filled, otherwise the device will not boot up. Please refer to the figure below.
Note: The device will not boot up if the black DIMM slots are populated before the blue DIMM slots are completely filled.
All installation procedures are restricted to qualified personnel. Toutes les procédures d'installation sont réservées au personnel qualifié.
# 3.3 PCIe Card Installation
Sample installation instructions for two types of PCIe expansion cards are described below. For detailed information on the PCIe daughter board and adapter brackets required for your cards and the specific installation procedures, please contact your ADLINK representative.

# 3.3.1 Single-Slot-Passive Cooled PCIe Cards
Follow the instructions below to install single-slot-passive cooled PCIe expansion cards.
1. Remove the screw securing the bracket screw cover of the PCIe slot you wish to install an expansion card in.
2. Rotate the bracket cover clockwise and remove the screw securing the PCIe bracket blanking plate.
3. To install the single-slot-passive cooled PCIe expansion card, align the tab on the bracket with the opening on the rear I/O panel and insert the PCIe connectors into the slot on the daughter board. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted into the PCIe slot.
4. Secure the PCIe expansion card to the chassis using two screws as shown below.
5. Secure the PCIe expansion card bracket with the screw removed in Step 2, and rotate the bracket cover counter-clockwise.
6. Replace the screw securing the bracket screw cover.
7. Repeat Steps 1 through 6 to install another single-slot-passive cooled PCIe expansion card.
# 3.3.2 Fan Cooled or Dual-Slot Passive Cooled PCIe Cards
Follow the instructions below to install single/dual-slot fan cooled or dual-slot passive cooled PCIe expansion cards.
1. Remove the I/O bracket from the PCIe expansion card.
2. Turn the expansion card over and attach the adapter bracket with two screws.
3. If the PCIe expansion card is shorter than 312cm (full length size), attach the rear adapter bracket with two screws as shown.
4. Install the PCIe expansion card by inserting the PCIe connector into the slot on the daughter board. Make sure the connector is fully inserted into the PCIe slot.
5. Secure the PCIe expansion card to the chassis using four screws as shown below.
# 3.4 PCIe x16 Slot Secondary Power Supply
The power supply on the MECS-7210 is equipped with two 8-pin ATX-type 12V power connectors to provide secondary power for PCIe x16 cards if required. Two break-out cables are also included. The pin definitions of the connectors and cables are described below.

# 3.5 Connecting the System to Ground
The MECS-7210 is connected to ground by the ground pin of the 3-prong IEC power cord. Please use the power cord provided with the system for your region.
A grounding stud (M3 size) is provided on the rear of the chassis for additional connection to ground.
# 3.6 Login to the BMC via Console Port
# Step 1
Set the Console Port to BMC mode using the 4-pole DIP Console Port Mode Switch (SW2) on the I/O board (see 1.3.3 Chassis Layout on page 9).
| Pin | Default | BMC Debug |
| 1 | OFF | ON |
| 2 | ON | OFF |

# Step 3
Open a serial port console tool (such as PuTTY), choose the higher COM port (it may be different depending on your computer), then set the baud rate to 115200.
# Step 3
Input the user name “sysadmin” and password “superuser” to login to the system.
# 3.7 Login to the BMC via Network
# Step 1
Connect the LAN cable to left RJ-45 LAN port (eth0, circled below);
# Step 2
Open a serial port console tool (such as PuTTY) enter the IP address, and open a connection to the BMC (login using serial console first to check the IP address).
# Step 3
Input the user name “sysadmin” and password “superuser” to login to the system

# 5 BIOS Setup
# 5.1 BIOS Setup Menu
The BIOS setup utility is invoked by pressing <ESC> or <DEL> keys. User can change BIOS settings during setup utility runs. A system reset is required for new settings to take effect.
In the BIOS setup utility, there are several hot keys are designed for specific purposes, as listed below.
<F1>: General help in setup menu
<F8>: Load previous BIOS values
<F9>: Load BIOS default in setup utility
<F10>: Save & Exit setup utility
To navigate through the BIOS setup menu, use the following.
| →← | Left/Right. The Left and Right < Arrow > keys allow you to select a setup screen.For example: Main screen, Advanced screen, Chipset screen, and so on. |
| ↑↓ | Up/Down The Up and Down < Arrow > keys allow you to select a setup item or sub-screen. |
| +- | Plus/Minus The Plus and Minus < Arrow > keys allow you to change the field value of a particular setup item.For example: Date and Time. |
| Tab | The < Tab > key allows you to select setup fields. |

# 5.1.2 Menu Conventions
The appearance of the setup menu listed in this chapter is a sample to describe the item list. It is shown on a VT100 terminal via serial console. The menu conventions are as follows.
# Using color
The mandatory BIOS setup fields are in black. The BIOS setup fields currently not used are in grey. The display only strings are in black.
# Using brackets
Editable menu options are marketed with squares ‘[‘ and ‘]’ to distinguish them from display only fields that can’t be modified.
# 5.2 Main Menu
The Main Menu provides read-only information about the system and also allows you to set the system date and time. The tables below show screen shots of the Main menu details, submenus and settings.

| UPI Configuration | Info-only | |
| UPI Status | Sub-Menu | To show the current UPI status includes number of CPU, IIO and UPI link speed and frequency. |
| Link Speed Mode | SlowFast | For configure UPI link speed.UPI speed mode should be ‘Slow’ when there only has one processor installed because UPI is not functional. Set ‘Slow’ for multi-processor only when it wants UPI to run at the boot speed of 50 MT/s. |
| Link Frequency Select | 9.6GT/s10.4GT/sAutoUse Per Link Setting | For selecting UPI link frequency.When there is only one processor, setting of this item will not be functional and status of link frequency will be unknown or 1S configuration. |
| KTI Prefetch | DisableEnable | It is for enabling/disabling KTI prefetch function. |
| Stale AtoS | DisableEnableAuto | The in-memory directory has three states:invalid (I), snoopAll (A), and Shared (S).The snoopAll (A) means the data may exist in another socket or modified state.Shared (S) state means the data may be shared across one or more socket's caches. When reading memory and directory line is in the A state, we must snoop all the other sockets because another socket may have the line in modified state. If this is the case, the snoop will return the modified data.However, it may be the case that all snoops come back a miss if another socket read the line earlier and then dropped it from its cache without modifying it.Disable – allows processing memory directory states as described above.Enable – where a line in A state returns only snoop misses, the line will be transition to S state. Subsequent reads to the line will encounter it in S state and not have to snoop, saving latency and snoop bandwidth. |
| LLC dead line alloc | DisableEnableAuto | In CPU cache scheme, mid-level cache (MLC) evictions are filled into last-level case (LLC). When lines are evicted from MLC, core can flag them as “dead”. This means that lines are not likely to be read again. This option allows dropping dead line and never fills them into LLC if the option is disabled. When it is enabled, the LLC can opportunistically fill dead lines into LLC if space is available. |
