The Motorola???specific IPMI commands that you have to use to change these settings are called "Set Discrete Sensor Value" and are characterized by the standard IPMI parameters given in the following table.a
Table 7: Motorola OEM IPMI Commands ??? Parameters
The IPMI request and response data of these IPMI commands need to have the following format.a
Table 8: Motorola OEM IPMI Commands ??? Request and Response Data Format
Enabling/Disabling SFPs
The ATCA???S100 provides two discrete sensors that allow to disable/enable the two SFPs of the blade. Each sensor is assigned to one SFP. For details about sensor number, sensor name and the assigned SFP refer to theaATCA???S100: Control via IPMI Preliminary Reference Guide.
Fiber Channel Speed
The ATCA???S100 provides one discrete sensor that allow to set the speeds of the two on???board fiber channels. The sensor is assigned to both fiber channels. The sensor determines the same speed both fiber channels. Two different speeds are possible: low (1 GBit/s) and high (2 GBit/s).a
Since the two ports of each on???board hard disk always run at the same speed, both fiber channels must be set to the same speed. The hard disk fiber channel interface speed automatically adapts to the selected fiber channel speed.a

Functional Description
Introduction
The storage blade is used as the mass storage module in an AdvancedTCA storage system. The storage blade can be plugged into an AdvancedTCA dual star or dual???dual star backplane.a
Generally, an AdvancedTCA storage system consists of two major components:
SStorage controller with Fiber Channel Host Bus Adapters (FC HBA).a
SOne or more storage blades
To achieve a fully redundant configuration a second storage controller with two fiber channel host bus adapters and redundant storage blade can be used.
Storage controller (HBA) and storage blade can be connected via the face plate using optical or copper SFP transceivers and cables.a
Native fibre channel protocol is used between all building blocks.aaaaaaa
Function Blocks
The figure shows the major function blocks of ATCA???S100:
Temperature
Sensors
Serial Number
Figure 4: Function Blocks of ATCA???S100
The major function blocks are described in the following sections.
Hard Disks
Two standard low profile 3.5???inch FC hard disks are used on the storage blade. Both FC ports of each disk are connected. For each port of each disk a Port Bypass Circuit (PBC) is provided. If an FC???port is defective, or if no disk is installed, the inoperative FC ports are bypassed. This closes the FC loop, keeping other devices within the loop accessible.aaa
IPMC Storage Blade Management
The storage blade management is based on the Motorola building block Dual Atmega IPMC, consisting of a master controller and a slave controller. The master controller handles all IPMC functions in compliance with PICMG 3.0, using the functions implemented in the slave controller. The IPMC monitors on blade status signals and can power up the blade when authorized by the Shelf Management Controller (ShMC) via the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI).
The IPMC is powered by a dedicated 3.3V source converted from the ???48V input.aaaaaaa
The IPMI storage management provides:
SPower up control
SDisplaying status by LEDs
SMonitoring hot swapa
STemperature sensors
SE???keying
The storage blade will only power up when all local conditions such as correctly inserted, handles closed, power within specification etc. are fulfilled, and the ShM has issued an IPMI command via the IPMB0 bus for the blade to power up.
Power Supply
Power supply is fully compliant with PICMG 3.0. The bus voltage 12V is directly used to power the hard disks. Secondary voltages 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V are derived from the bus voltage.
The IPMC is supplied by the IPM power (3.3V). A converter (???48V to 3.3V) supplies the IPM power.aaa
Fiber Channel Connections
The following figure shows the storage blade ATCA???S100 fiber channel connections.
Fiber channels A and B are routed in a ring structure.aa
