Before touching the blade or electronic components, make sure that you are working in an ESD???safe environment.
Data loss
Removing the blade with the blue LED still blinking causes data loss.
Wait until the blue LED is permanently illuminated, before removing the blade.
Damage of Blade and Additional Devices and Modules
Incorrect installation of additional devices or modules may damage the blade or the additional devices or modules.
Before installing or removing an additional device or module, read the respective documentation
Operation
Blade damage Blade surface
High humidity and condensation on the blade surface causes short circuits.
Do not operate the blade outside the specified environmental limits. Make sure the blade is completely dry and there is no moisture on any surface before applying power. Do not operate the blade below 0??C.
Blade Overheating and Blade Damage
Operating the blade without forced air cooling may lead to blade overheating and thus blade damage.
When operating the blade, make sure that forced air cooling is available in the shelf.
When operating the blade in areas of electromagnetic radiation ensure that the blade is bolted on the system and the system is shielded by enclosure.
Injuries or short circuits Blade or power supply
In case the ORing diodes of the blade fail, the blade may trigger a short circuit between input line A and input line B so that line A remains powered even if it is disconnected from the power supply circuit (and vice versa).
To avoid damage or injuries, always check that there is no more voltage on the line that has been disconnected before continuing your work.
Switch Settings
Blade Malfunction
Switches marked as ???reserved??? might carry production???related functions and can cause the blade to malfunction if their setting is changed.
Therefore, do not change settings of switches marked as ???reserved???. The setting of switches which are not marked as ???reserved??? has to be checked and changed before blade installation.
Blade Damage
Setting/resetting the switches during operation can cause blade damage. Therefore, check and change switch settings before you install the blade.
Environment
Always dispose of used blades according to your country???s legislation, if possible in an environmentally acceptable way.
PMC Modules
Limited Power on PMC Modules and RTMs
The blade does not provide an extra fuse for PMC modules and RTMs.
PMC modules and RTMs used together with the blade have to be qualified according to the following standards: IEC 60950???1, EN 60950???1, UL 60950???1, CAN/CSA C22???2 No 60950???1
Excession of blade???s power consumption
Exceeding the maximum combined power dissipation of installed PMC modules may damage the blade.a
Make sure that the combined power dissipation of installed PMC modules on the 3.3V and 5V rail does not exceed 60W.
PMC Module Malfunctioning
Processor PMC modules (as defined in ANSI/VITA 32???2003) can be operated in two different modes: monarch and non???monarch mode.a
Make sure to operate any installed processor PMC modules (as defined in ANSI/VITA 32???2003) only in non???monarch mode.a
Damage of Installed Hard Disk
If PPMC/270 or PPMC/280 modules are installed into PMC slot 1 or 2, the heat radiated by the heat sink of theses PMC modules heats up an installed hard disk that may be installed at the same time.a
If PPMC/270 or PPMC/280 modules are installed into PMC slot 1 or 2, make sure not to have a hard disk installed at the same time.a
Battery
Blade/System damage
Incorrect exchange of lithium batteries can result in a hazardous explosion.a Therefore, exchange the battery as described in this manual.
Data loss
If the battery does not provide enough power anymore, the RTC is initialized and the data in the NVRAM is lost.
Therefore, exchange the battery before seven years of actual battery use have elapsed.
Data loss
Exchanging the battery always results in data loss of the devices which use the battery as power backup.a
Therefore, back up affected data before exchanging the battery.
Data loss
If installing another battery type than is mounted at blade delivery may cause data loss since other battery types may be specified for other environments or may have a shorter lifetime.
Therefore, only use the same type of lithium battery as is already installed.

Action Plan
To install the blade, the following steps are necessary and described in detail in the sections of this chapter. The installation takes about five minutes.
Start installation
environmental requirements are met
Set on???board switches, if applicable
Install on???board hardware accessories, if applicable
Install Rear Transition
Module, if applicable
Install blade
Install cable accessories, if applicable
Installation finished
Requirements
In order to meet the environmental requirements, the blade has to be tested in the system in which it is to be installed.a
Before you power up the blade, calculate the power needed according to your combination of blade upgrades and accessories.
Environmental Requirements
The environmental conditions must be tested and proven in the shelf configuration used. The conditions refer to the surrounding of the blade within the user environment.aaa
Note:a
SThe environmental requirements of the blade may be further limited down due to installed accessories, such as hard disks or PMC modules, with more restrictive environmental requirements
SOperating temperatures refer to the temperature of the air circulating around the blade and not to the actual component temperature.
SBlade damage Blade surface
High humidity and condensation on the blade surface causes short circuits.
Do not operate the blade outside the specified environmental limits. Make sure the blade is completely dry and there is no moisture on any surface before applying power. Do not operate the blade below 0??C.
SBlade Overheating and Blade Damage
Operating the blade without forced air cooling may lead to blade overheating and thus blade damage.
When operating the blade, make sure that forced air cooling is available in the shelf.
Table 4: Environmental Requirements
To guarantee proper blade operation, you have to make sure that the temperatures at the following locations are not exceeded. If not stated otherwise, the temperatures should be measured by placing a sensor exactly at the given locations.aaa
1)Temperature must be measured via on???die sensor which can be accessed via IPMI
Figure 1: Location of Critical Blade Temperature Spots (Blade Top Side)
10
Figure 2: Location of Critical Blade Temperature Spots (Blade Bottom Side)
Power Consumption
The blade???s power requirements depend on the installed hardware accessories. If you want to install accessories on the board, the load of the respective accessory has to be added to that of the blade.In the following table you will find typical examples of power requirements with and without accessories installed. For information on the accessories??? power requirements, refer to the documentation delivered together with the respective accessory or consult your local Motorola representative for further details.aaaa
The blade must be connected to a TNV???2 or a safety???extra???low???voltage (SELV) circuit. A TNV???2 circuit is a circuit whose normal operating voltages exceed the limits for a SELV circuit under normal operating conditions, and which is not subject to overvoltages from telecommunication networks.
Table 5: Power Requirements
The blade provides two independent power inputs according to the AdvancedTCA Specification. Each input has to be equipped with an additional fuse of max. 90A located either in the shelf where the blade is installed or the power entry module (PEM).
Switch Settings
The blade provides the on???board switches SW2, SW3, SW4 and SW7. The following figure shows their location. Note that in the switch drawings the switch handle is represented by a little white square and that the shown switch settings reflect the default switch settings.aaa
Figure 3: Location of On???board Switches
SBlade Malfunction
Switches marked as ???reserved??? might carry production???related functions and can cause the blade to malfunction if their setting is changed.
Therefore, do not change settings of switches marked as ???reserved???. The setting of switches which are not marked as ???reserved??? has to be checked and changed before blade installation.
SBlade Damage
Setting/resetting the switches during operation can cause blade damage. Therefore, check and change switch settings before you install the blade.
Table 6: Switch Settings
On???Board Hardware Accessories
The following hardware upgrades can be installed on the blade:
SPMC modules
SHard Disk
SCompactFlash card
SCMC module
PMC Modules
The blade provides four PMC slots supporting PCI/PCI???X based PMC modules. When operated in PCI mode, PMC modules run at 33/66Mhz, when operated in PCI???X mode they run at 66/100MHz. All four PMC slots use a signaling level of 3.3V.aaaaa
The four PMC slots are numbered from 1 to 4. Their location is shown in the following figure.a
Figure 4: Location of PMC Slots
PMC slots 1 and 2 belong to one PCI segment and PMC slots 3 and 4 belong to another PCI segment. Within the same PCI segment, it is possible to install two PMC modules of different modes (PCI/PCI???X) and speeds (33/66/100 MHz). The PMC module with the overall lower performance (combination of speed and PCI mode) determines the speed and PCI mode of the second PMC module.aaa
Example:aA PMC module supporting PCI???X/66MHz is installed into PMC slot 1 and a PMC module supporting PCI/66MHz is installed into PMC slot 2. In this case both PMC modules are operated in PCI/66 MHz mode because the PMC module with the overall less performance is the one supporting PCI/66 MHz and consequently the second PMC module is operated in this mode as well.a
Before installing PMC modules, the following general safety notes must be observed.a
SLimited Power on PMC Modules and RTMs
The blade does not provide an extra fuse for PMC modules and RTMs. PMC modules and RTMs used together with the blade have to be qualified according to the following standards: IEC 60950???1, EN 60950???1, UL 60950???1, CAN/CSA C22???2 No 60950???1
SExcession of blade???s power consumption
Exceeding the maximum combined power dissipation of installed PMC modules may damage the blade.a
Make sure that the combined power dissipation of installed PMC modules on the 3.3V and 5V rail does not exceed 60W.
SPMC Module Malfunctioning
Processor PMC modules (as defined in ANSI/VITA 32???2003) can be operated in two different modes: monarch and non???monarch mode.a
Make sure to operate any installed processor PMC modules (as defined in ANSI/VITA 32???2003) only in non???monarch mode.a
SDamage of Installed Hard Disk
If PPMC/270 or PPMC/280 modules are installed into PMC slot 1 or 2, the heat radiated by the heat sink of theses PMC modules heats up an installed hard disk that may be installed at the same time.a
If PPMC/270 or PPMC/280 modules are installed into PMC slot 1 or 2, make sure not to have a hard disk installed at the same time.a
SDamage of Rear Transition Module and Blade
The ACC/ARTM???717 was designed to be used in conjunction with PPMC/270 or PPMC/280 modules modules installed on the blade at the same time.

BIOS
Introduction
BIOS (Basic Input Output System) provides an interface between the operating system and the hardware of the blade. It is used for hardware configuration. Before loading the operating system, BIOS performs basic hardware tests and prepares the blade for the initial boot???up procedure.
During blade production, identical BIOS images are programmed into the blade???s boot and user flash. By default the blade boots from the boot flash. It is possible to select between boot and user flash as device to boot from. This is done via a OEM IPMI command. For further details refer to theaPENT/ATCA???715/717/7105/7107: Control via IPMI Programmer???s Guidea which can be downloaded from the Motorola literature catalog. The presence of two redundant flash devices also allows for updating the BIOS image without affecting running processes.aaa
The BIOS used on the blade is based on the Phoenix 4.0 Release 6.0 BIOS with several Motorola extensions integrated. Its main functions are:
SHardware set???up utility for setting configuration data
SMultiboot for a flexible boot order
SSerial console redirection for remote blade configuration
SSoftware upgrade utility
Note:aThe BIOS contains on???line documentation which provides detailed description of all BIOS functions. Therefore the description in this manual is restricted to the main BIOS functions.a
The BIOS set???up program is required to configure the hardware of the blade. This configuration is necessary for operating the blade and connected peripherals. It is stored in the battery backed???up CMOS memory as well as in the blade???s boot flash.a
Whenever you are not sure about configuration settings, restore the default values. They are provided in case a value has been changed and you wish to reset settings. To restore the default values, press <F9> in setup.
Note:a
SLoading the BIOS default values will affect all set???up items and will reset options previously altered.a
SIf you set the default values, the displayed default values are not yet stored to be effective for the next boot. They are just loaded to be displayed. However, they become effective if the BIOS setup is exited after changes have been saved.
The BIOS complies to the following specifications:
SPlug and Play BIOS Specification 1.0A
SPCI BIOS Specification 2.1
SSMBIOS Specification 2.3
SBIOS Boot Specification 1.01
SPXE 2.0
Serial Console Redirection
The firmware of the blade provides a serial console redirection feature. This allows remote blade configuration by connecting a terminal to the blade via a serial communication link.a
The terminal can be connected to display VGA text information. Terminal keyboard input is redirected and treated as a normal PC keyboard input. The serial console redirection feature can be configured via setup utility.
Note:aIf serial console redirection is enabled the terminal represents an option and is not necessarily required for boot???up procedure.a
Requirements
For serial console redirection, the following is required:
STerminal which supports a VT100 or ANSI modea
SNULL???modem cable
Terminal emulation programs such as TeraTermPro can be used. In order to use TeraTermPro via the function keys, the keyboard configuration file of TeraTermPro has to be modified as follows:
Table 8: Key Codes for Terminal Emulation Program
Default Configuration
By default, the blade can be accessed via the serial interface COM1. This interface is, by default, accessible via an installed RTM through an RJ???45 connector. If no RTM is present or you wish to access COM1 from the blade???s face plate, COM1 can alternatively be made accessible at an installed CMC module. Whether COM1 is available via RTM or CMC module depends on the setting of the on???board switch SW3???4 which enables/disables COM port swapping. The following table provides details.aaa
Note:a
SThe COM port routing described above is only applicable to BIOS versions w 2.0.0. Earlier BIOS versions used a different routing. For details refer to theaPENT/ATCA???715/717/7105/7107 BIOS Information Sheeta which can be downloaded from the Motorola literature catalog web site.
SCOM port swapping can also be enabled via an IPMI System Boot Options command. COM port swapping is enabled if either the on???board switch 3???4, the IPMI System Boot Options command or both enable it.a
A NULL???Modem cable is available as accessory kit for the blade. It converts the RJ???45 connector to a standard DSUB connector which can be connected to a remote terminal. The following communication parameters are used by default:
SBaud rate: 9600
SNo handshake
SPC ANSI
S8 data bits
SNo parity
S1 stop bit
All configuration parameters listed above can be modified via the BIOS.a
Connecting to the Blade
In order to connect to the blade using the serial console redirect feature, proceed as follows:.
Procedure
1.Configure terminal to communicate using the same parameters as in BIOS setup
2.Connect terminal to NULL???modem cable
3.Connect NULL???modem cable to COM port you have selected in BIOS setup
4.Start up blade
BIOS Crisis Recovery Mode
Immediately after a reset or power???up a routine in the boot flash boot block is invoked which checks whether a valid BIOS image is available. If no valid image is found and consequently the blade is unable to boot, the blade enters into BIOS crisis recovery mode. In this mode a routine tries to load a BIOS crisis recovery image from a disk drive connected to the blade??? s USB interface. The BIOS crisis recovery image is basically a mini DOS with minimum functionality which replaces the corrupted image.a
A valid BIOS crisis recovery image can be downloaded from the former Force Computers SMART server or the Motorola website as part of the BIOS upgrade kit which which is available for this blade. The image is accompanied by readme files which describe how to create the BIOS upgrade/recovery disk and how to to replace a corrupted BIOS with the BIOS crisis recovery image.a
If the blade has enterred BIOS crisis recovery mode,the face plate LED "HDD" is lit ed. After the BIOS recovery image has been successfully flashed, the LED is lit green.a
Note:aFlashing the BIOS crisis recovery image may take up to two minutes. In order to avoid blade damage, it is absolutely important not to interrupt the flashing process. Therefore wait until the LED is lit green again, which indicates a successful flashing.a
Changing Configuration Settings
When the system is turned on or rebooted, the presence and functionality of the system components is tested by POST (Power???On Self???Test).a
Press <F2> when requested. The main menu appears. It looks similar to the menu shown in the following figure. Note that the layout may slightly vary with new BIOS versions.a
Figure 32: Main Menu
Note:a
SMake sure that BIOS is properly configured prior to installing the operating system and its drivers.
SIf you save changes in setup, the next time the blade boots BIOS will configure the system according to the setup selections stored. If those values cause the system boot to fail, reboot and enter setup to get the default values or to change the selections that caused the failure. If the boot fails or is interrupted three times in a row, the default values are then loaded automatically.
In order to navigate in setup, use the arrow keys on the keyblade to highlight items on the menu. All other navigation possibilities are shown at the bottom of the menu.
Additionally, an item???specific help is displayed on the right side of the menu window.
Selecting The Boot Device
There are two possibilities to determine the device from which BIOS attempts to boot:
SVia setup to select a permanent order of boot devices
SVia boot selection menu to select any device for the next boot???up procedure only
Via Setup
1.In the menu line, select [Boot]
A menu similar to the one shown in the following figure appears. Note that the layout may vary slightly with new BIOS versions.a
2.Select [Boot Device Priority]
A menu similar to the one shown in the following figure appears. Note that the layout may vary slightly with new BIOS versions.a
3.Select the order of the devices from which BIOS attempts to boot the operating system
If BIOS is not successful at booting from one device, it tries to boot from the next device on the list.
If there is more than one device of the same type, e.g. several hard disks, the displayed entry represents the first of these devices as specified in the boot configuration via setup.
The same options determine the order in which POST installs the devices and the operating system assigns device letters. BIOS supports up to two floppy devices to which the operating system may assign, e.g. drive letters A: and B:. The drives C:, D:, E: etc. are reserved for hard???disk drives.
Note:aThere is not always an exact correspondence between the order specified in setup and the letters assigned by the operating system. Many devices, such as legacy option ROMs, support more than one device that can be assigned to several letters. If the CD???ROM drive should have a letter coming before the one assigned to the hard drive, move it in front of the hard drive. The group of bootable add???in cards refers to devices with non???multiboot???compliant BIOS option ROM from which you can boot the operating system.a
Via Boot Selection Menu
To enter the boot menu, press <ESC> during POST. The menu that appears looks similar to the one shown in the following figure. Note that the layout may vary slightly with new BIOS versions.a
Figure 33: Boot Menu
Continue with one of the following options:
a)Override existing boot sequence by selecting another boot device from the boot order list or
b)Select [Enter Setup] to enter setup utility or
c)Press <Esc> to return to POST screen and continue with previous boot sequence
Note:aIf the selected device does not load the operating system, BIOS reverts to the previous boot sequence.
Restoring BIOS Default Settings
The blade provides an on???board configuration switch that allows to clear the blade???s CMOS and thus to restore the BIOS default settings. In order to restore the BIOS default settings using this switch, you have to proceed as follows.aa
Procedure
1.Remove the blade from the system
Seeasection "Installation into Powered Shelves" on pagea54a for the exact procedure
2.Set the on???board switch SW2???3 to ON
Seeasection "Switch Settings" on pagea42a for the exact location of SW2???3
3.Install and power up the blade
Seeasection "Installation into Powered Shelves" on pagea54a for the exact procedure.a Note that the blade will not boot, because the "Clear CMOS RAM" switch SW2???3 is set to ON.a
4.Remove the blade from the system again

Both interfaces support all Programmed I/O (PIO) modes as well as all Direct Memory Access (DMA) modes up to Ultra ATA/100. The combined parallel and serial ATA interface traffic is indicated by a face plate LED.a
Primary Parallel ATA Interface
The primary parallel ATA interface is connected to an on???board 2.5" hard disk which can be mounted on the blade. The hard disk operates as IDE master.a
Secondary Parallel ATA Interface
The secondary parallel ATA interface is connected to an on???board CompactFlash connector which supports CompactFlash cards of type I and II. An inserted card runs in true IDE mode and is master on the secondary parallel ATA interface.a
USB Interfaces
The South Bridge provides four USB interfaces. Two are routed to the blade???s face plate and two to the rear transition module. All interfaces are compliant to the USB 2.0 standard.a
PCI Interface
The South Bridge provides a 32???bit/33 MHz PCI interface that is compliant to the PCI 2.2 specification. Up to four external PCIbus master devices are supported and a 3.3V signaling level is used.
Serial ATA Interfaces
The South Bridge provides two Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interfaces which are compliant to the SATA 1.0 specification and support a data transfer rate of up to 1.5GByte/s. One interface is routed to the Zone 3 connector and is accessable via an installed RTM. One interface is routed to an on???board SATA connector to which a SATA hard disk can be connected.a
Serial RS232 Interfaces
The South Bridge provides two serial full???duplex RS232 interfaces. Supported baud rates are: 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 and 115200 kb/s. Both serial interfaces are +/??? 15 KV ESD protected.
Both interfaces correspond to the blade???s serial interface ports 1 and 3. Serial interface port 1 is routed via a zone 3 connector to an installed RTM. Serial interface port 3 is accessible via an installed CMC module. The BIOS maps the serial interfaces ports to the desired I/O addresses (COM ports) and interrupts.aaaaa
LPC Interface
The South Bridge provides a 4???bit wide Low Pin Count (LPC) interface running at 33 MHz. It has the following devices attached to it:
SSuper I/O

The following table lists all devices which are connected to the South Bridge via its SMBus interface:aaaa
Super I/O
The used Super I/O is a Standard Microsystems Corporation LPC47S422 device. It provides the following interfaces:aa
STwo serial interfaces
SFloppy disk interface
SKeyboard/Mouse interface
SParallel interface
Serial Interfaces
The Super I/O device provides two serial full???duplex RS232 interfaces. Supported baud rates are: 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 and 115200 kb/s. Both serial interfaces are +/??? 15 KV ESD protected.
Both interfaces correspond to the blade???s serial interface ports 2 and 4. Serial interface port 2 is routed via a zone 3 connector to an installed RTM. Serial interface port 4 is accessible via an installed CMC module. The BIOS maps the serial interface ports to the desired I/O addresses (COM ports) and interrupts.aaaaa
Floppy Disk Interface
The floppy disk interface is unused on the blade.a
Keyboard/Mouse Controller
The Super I/O integrates an 8042H compatible keyboard/mouse controller. The corresponding interfaces are accessible via RTM and CMC debug module.a
Parallel Interface
The parallel interface is unused on this blade.
Flash Devices
The blade provides two redundant boot flash devices: one default boot flash and one backup boot flash. During blade production, both flashes are programmed with identical BIOS images. The presence of two redundant flash devices allows for remotely updating BIOS images from the operating level without interrupting running processes and without being affected by possibly corrupt BIOS images. The backup boot flash, furthermore, can be used to store customized images. Note that in this case the redundant BIOS feature is no longer available.a
Both flash devices are Intel???compatible firmware hubs that are connected to the LPC interface of the South Bridge. Each flash device has a unique four bit LPC device ID. Bit 1 to 3 of the device ID are fixed to 0. Bit 0 is controlled by a boot flash select signal provided by the IPMC in such a way that bit 0 of one flash is set to 0 while bit 0 of the other flash is set to 1 and vice versa. The following figure shows the implementation on hardware???level.a
Figure 35: Boot Flash LPC Device ID Control
The blade??? s CPU always boots from the boot flash with the LPC device ID 0. Thus the boot flash select signal of the IPMC allows to select the flash device that the CPU is to boot from.a
An IPMI Set System Boot Options command allows to control the boot flash select signal and thus select between the default and backup boot flash as device to boot from. For details refer to theaPENT/ATCA???715/717/7105/7107: Control via IPMI Programmer???s Guidea which can be downloaded from the former Force Computers S.M.A.R.T. server or the Motorola literature catalog.aaaaaaaa
By default, the data/instruction areas of the default and backup boot flash are writable. This is necessary because during booting the BIOS writes some configuration data back to
some reserved spaces in the data/instruction area. The boot block of default and backup boot flash are writeable per default, too. The on???board switches SW4???1, SW4???2 and SW4???4 allow to enable/disable the write???protection of both default and backup boot flash as well as the data/instruction area of the backup boot flash.a
FPGA
The FPGA implements the following functions:aaaaa
SLPC interface
SIPMC interface
SClock synchronization extensions
SReset controller
SInterrupt routing unit
SMiscellaneous glue logic
SEthernet switch interface
The FPGA loads its configuration stream from one of two EEPROMs which are connected to the FPGA. One EEPROM serves as default, the second as backup EEPROM. The IPMC controls which EEPROM the configuration stream is loaded from. After IPMC startup the FPGA loads its configuration stream from the default EEPROM. An IPMI System Boot Options command allows to select between default and backup EEPROM. For details about switching between default and backup FPGA refer to theaPENT/ATCA???715/717/7105/7107: Control via IPMI Programmer???s Guidea which can be downloaded from the Motorola literature site.aaa
LPC Interface
The LPC interface is compliant to the Intel LPC specification 1.1 and connects the FPGA to the South Bridge.a
IPMC Interface
The FPGA is connected to the on???board IPMC and implements the following IPMC related features:
STwo Block Transfer interfaces
SPort 80 register
SIPMC extensions
Block Transfer Interfaces
Two Block Transfer interfaces (BT) reside inside the FPGA. Each provides one control and status register, two 64???byte FIFOs and an interrupt mask register. Both BT interfaces are
compliant to the IPMI specification V1.5 Rev. 1.0 and share one Interrupt Source register. The first BT interface is used as the only System Interface and uses IPMI channel 0x0F. The second BT interface uses IPMI channel 0x06.aaa
Port 80 Register
The FPGA provides an 8???bit wide register to store POST codes. The register is located at I/O address 8016.. It is only readable for the IPMC and read???writeable for the host. The IPMC polls this register to monitor the boot up sequence of the board. The content of the port 80 register can also be obtained and read via IPMI.a
IPMC Extensions
The FPGA implements three registers which are only visible for the IPMC. These registers reflect the following:
SCPU core voltage identifier
SFrame signal on LPC bus
SSystem and parity errors on PCI buses
SEnabling/disabling of backplane signals used for electronic keying
SAlert signals
Clock Synchronization Extensions
The FPGA contains extensions which are related to the AdvancedTCA clock synchronization feature. These extensions include:
SRegisters accessible via host and IPMC for controlling and monitoring clock synchronization

Intelligent Platform Management Controller
The blade provides an Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC) unit based an the 8???bit Atmel ATmega AVR microcontrollers. The IPMC is fully compliant to the IPMI V1.5 standard and provides the following interfaces:aaa
SIPMB0A and IPMB0B available via the backplane
SIPMB???L connected to rear transition modulea
SI2C interfaces connected to on???board PMCs slots and sensors
SAnalog???to???Digital Conversion (ADC)interfaces connected to on???board sensors
SDigital I/O interfaces connected to on???board sensors
One of the main tasks of the IPMC is to control the power up and power down of the blade. For this purpose the IPMC is connected to the on???board power supply module via control and status lines. Various on???board IPMI sensors provide detailed information on the current power status of the blade to any interested party connected to the IPMI network.a
The following figure gives an overview of the IPMI structure used on???board.aaa
Figure 36: IPMI Structure
For details about accessing the IPMC via IPMI commands as well as Sensor Data Records (SDRs) and Field Replacable Unit (FRU) information provided by the blade, refer to the "PENT/ATCA???715/717/7105/7107 Control via IPMI Programmer???s Guide" which can be downloaded from the Motorola literature catalog.a
Sensors
The blade provides various sensors which are accessible via IPMI. Some of these sensors measure on???board temperatures. Their names and locations are shown in the following figure.aaa
Memory Temp
CPU Board Temp (other side of PCB)
CPU Die Temp
12V DCDC Temp
Ambient Temp

Other sensors available on???board include voltage sensors and sensors which provide particular status information. A summary of all sensors is given in the following table.a
Table 11: On???board Sensors Accessible via IPMI
For further details refer to the "PENT/ATCA???715/717/7105/7107 Control via IPMI Programmer???s Guide" which can be downloaded from the Motorola literature catalog.
I2C Addresses
The blade provides one IDROM which is attached to the IPMC via an I2C bus. The I2C address of the IDROM is 0xA0.a
Clock Synchronization Interface
AdvancedTCA systems provide a telecom clock synchronization interface which allows to synchronize elements within a telecommunication network. The telecom clock synchronization interface consists of three redundant clock buses (CLK1, CLK2 and CLK3) which are available at the system backplane. Each clock bus is implemented as a differential pair of MDS/LDS signals which connects to each system slot.aaa
In compliance with the AdvancedTCA PICMG 3.0 specification, CLK1 and CLK2 are used as system clocks and CLK3 is used as reference clock.a
The blade provides a clock synchronization building block which allows to synchronize the four on???board PMC modules to the system clock and to derive a reference clock. The main components of the clock synchronization building block as well as the main signal paths are shown in the following figure.aaa
The key component of the clock synchronization building block is the DPLL device ACS8525 from Semtech. Its main features include:
SSoftware programmable output clock synthesis (CLK_0, 1, 2, 3)
S8 kHz frame clock/pulse with programmable pulse width and polarity (SYNC_0,1,2,3))
SAutomatic hit???less switch???over if one system clock fails
SActivity monitor for system clocks
SPhase build???out for output clock phase continuity during switch???over
SMeets jitter requirements up to OC???3 line rates
SProgrammable reference clock divider
The DPLL is clocked by an external oscillator running at 12.8 MHz. Two clock buffers provide a separate clock and synchronization signal for each of the four on???board PMC sites. The FPGA contains extensions which are related to the clock synchronization building block. Some of these extensions include registers that are accessible via the host and which allow to control and monitor the functionality of the clock synchronization building block. For details refer toasection "Clock Synchronization Interface Registers" on pagea144.a
Power Supply Module
The blade is fed via two redundant ???48V inputs. Both are converted via a DC/DC converter to an intermediate voltage of +12V. This voltage, in turn, is converted via further DC/DC converters to on???board voltages which are used by the on???board devices. A ???48V/+3.3V DC/DC converter converts the ???48V input voltage to +3.3V which is used to feed the IPMC and power???up logic.
The blade???s power up and power down cycles are under full control of the IPMC. It controls both the ???48V/+12V DC/DC converter as well as power???up logic which controls the remaining on???board DC/DC converters. If the IPMC detects a failure on any of the local on???board voltages, it shuts off the entire blade power.aaa

PCI Bridge P64H2
The Intel P64H2 PCI bridge provides two PCI/PCI???X interfaces. Each interface is connected to two PMC sites. The P64H2 device supports peer???to???peer communication between the two PCI/PCI???X interfaces. This way no host intervention is required when PMC sites connected to different PCI/PCI???X interfaces communicate with each other. In PCI mode up to 533 MHz/s transfer rate is possible, in PCI???X up to 800 MByte/s.a
Switching Unit
The on???board switching unit is based on the Marvell 98DX160 Ethernet layer 2+ switch and provides switching functionality between on???board Ethernet ports, PMC sites and the backplane interfaces. It provides 16 Ethernet switching ports as well as one Serial Management interface (SMI) and one additional Ethernet port for configuration.aaa
Features
Important features of the switching unit are:aaa
S2 MByte internal memory
SHost management interface
SSupport for 1000 MII/GMII/RGMII and 1000Base???X
SManual and auto???negotiation
SSupport for jumbo frame length of 10KByte packets
SOn???chip 4K MAC address table
S4K VLANs with 256 active VLANs
SFlexible VLAN assignment for protocol??? port??? and tag???based VLANs
Management Interface
The switching unit provides two management interfaces towards the host: one slave Serial Management Interface (SMI) and one CPU Ethernet port. The SMI interface is accessible via FPGA registers and supports read and write accesses to address mapped entities. The CPU Ethernet port is constituted by an Intel 82540EM GBit Ethernet controller which is connected to the PCI interface of the blade???s South Bridge.aaa
Routing Options
The blade is designed to support dual???dual star backplanes. However, the currently available blade variants support only dual star backplanes. Ask your local Motorola representative for more information on available blade variants and switch options.a
Starting with blade revision 1.2, the blade provides support for PICMG 3.1 Option 2. This is achieved by configuring two fabric interface ports as one 2 GBit Ethernet trunc. Details are given below.a
At blade start???up the Ethernet switch reads a serial PROM which contains switch configuration information such as predefined Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs).a
The following table shows how the Ethernet interfaces are distributed across the 16 Ethernet switch ports.a
Table 12: Ethernet Switching Unit ???Ethernet Port Distribution
Four VLANs are predefined. Each backplane Ethernet interface is assigned to one separate VLAN. On???board Ethernet interfaces, however, belong to more than one VLAN.a
The fabric interfaces are attached to tagged VLANs, and the base interfaces to untagged VLANs.a
The following figure illustrates the VLAN configuration.a
Tagged VLAN
Untagged VLAN

In the following all registers will be described which are accessible from the CPU. These registers are listed in the following table.aaa
Table 18: Registers Accessible from CPU via LPC Bus
The FPGA provides further registers. In order to access them, first write the index address corresponding to the register to the Index Address Register, and then perform either a read or write access on the Index Data Register. All registers that can be accessed this way are listed in the following table.a
Table 19: Index Addresses of Registers Accessible from CPU via LPC Bus
IPMI Block Transfer Interface Registers
The host can access the IPMC via the two Block Transfer (BT) Interfaces 0 and1. Both are fully compliant to the IPMI specification V1.5. Each BT interface provides the following registers.aa
Table 20: IPMI Block Transfer Interface Registers
Control and Status Register
This register is used by the IPMC and the host CPU for various control functions.a
Buffer Register
This register provides access to an IPMC???to???Host and Host???to???IPMC buffer. The buffer has a size of 64 bytes and contains command streams between host and IPMC.a
Interrupt Mask Register
The host uses this register to mask interrupts generated by the IPMC.a
Port 80 Register
This read???only 8???bit wide register, which is located at the I/O address 8016astores the results obtained from the POST (Power On Self Test).a
Ethernet Switch Management Registers
The following registers consitute an Ethernet management interface accessible by the host. The registers allow to configure and control the operation of the on???board Ethernet switch. The Ethernet management interface conforms to the IEEE 802.3 management draft standard. The base address of these registers is 0x150.aaa
Table 21: Ethernet Switch Management Registers
Command and Status Register
This register controls the transfer of configuration data to and from the Ethernet switch.a
Table 22: Command and Status Register
1: Busy (wait until ready is indicated before initiating new access)
Data Registers
These registers contain the data that is read from or sent to the Ethernet switch.
Clock Divider Register
This register allows to program the frequency of the Ethernet Switch Management clock.a
I2C Control and Status Register
The Ethernet switch obtains its configuration data from a PROM device that is connected to it. This register allows to access this PROM and is used for PROM updates.a
Reset Registers
The blade provides two registers which are related to blade resets:aaaaa
SReset source register (index address 0x00)
SReset mask register (index address 0x01)
The reset source register stores the source of the most recent reset. A write access clears this register.Each bit is associated with one reset source. If the bit is set to one, the corresponding reset has occurred. After a reset has occurred, this register should be cleared. Otherwise, after the next reset of another source, more than one bit is set and you may not be able to determine the most recent reset source.a
Table 23: Reset Source Register
The reset mask register allows to enable/disable particular resets. If a bit is set, the corresponding reset is enabled, otherwise it is disabled.a
Note:aIPMC, legacy PCI and power???on reset cannot be enabled/disabled via this register.a
Table 24: Reset Mask Register
Flash Control and Status Register
This register, which is accessible via the index address 0x02, indicates the status of the default and backup boot flash regarding write???protection, crisis recovery and booting. Additionally, this register allows to set the write???protection of the default boot flash data/instruction area.aa
Table 25: Miscellaneous Switch Status Register
0: Crisis recovery
1: Normal operation
LED Control Register
This register, which is accessible via the index address 0x03, allows to control the bicolor face plate HDD LED. This LED can be operated in parallel/serial ATA status indication mode and user mode. Toggling between both modes is possible via this register.a
In parallel/serial ATA status indication mode the LED shines GREEN and indicates the combined activitiy of all serial and parallel ATA interfaces. In user mode, the LED can be controlled to be red, green and OFF.aaa
Table 26: LED Control Register
PMC Status Register
This register, which is accessible via the index address 0x04, indicates the current status of all four on???board PMC sites.aaa
Table 27: PMC Status Register
0: Not ready
1: Ready
Shut Down Register
This write???only register, which is accessible via the index address 0x05, allows to pull down the FRU_EN signal to GND and thus initiate a blade power???down.a
This register was introduced because the FRU_EN signal is under normal operation controlled by the IPMC. If the IPMC however is is not operating anymore, for example during a firmware upgrade, the FRU_EN signal is released and remains in the state it previously had been in. In this case it may be necessary to explicitly pull down FRU_EN via this register.a
Clock Synchronization Interface Registers
These registers are related to the clock synchronization building block of the blade. These registers are primarily used to:aa
SSelect system clock 1 or 2 from back plane
SSelect system or reference clock for DPLL input
SEnable reference clocks A and B to the backplane
SSelect recovered clock source
SDetermine programmable reference clock divider value
SDetermine reference clock pulse width
Note:aMotorola offers a device driver to access the clock synchronization interface. Instead of directly accessing the clock synchronization interface via the registers described in this section, it is strongly recommended to use this driver. Ask your local Motorola representative for details.a
The following clock synchronisation interface registers are available:
Table 28: Clock Synchronisation Interface Registers
SPI Interface Registers
The used DPLL device ACS8525 from SEMTECH provides a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) which provides external access for device setup and controlling. Software that wishes to access the DPLL device has to first set the desired address in the SPI Address register followed by either a read or write access to the SPI data register. For details about configuring the DPLL device, refer to its data sheet.a

Reference Clock Divider Registers
The FPGA contains a clock divider which can be used in systems where the reference clock frequency does not match the recovered clock frequency. The clock divider is able to scale down a recovered clock frequency to the desired reference clock frequency. The scale down grade can be controlled via the upper and lower reference clock divider registers described in this section. Both registers correspond to the upper and lower divider of the division factor between recovered and reference clock. The division factor can be changed by software at any time. The new division factor becomes active with any new clock cycle avoiding spikes or truncated clock cycles. A plausibility check of register values is not required.a
Examples of recovered and reference clock frequencies and the corresponding division factors are given in the following table.a
Table 31: Examples of Division Factors Between Recovered and Reference Clock
Note:aIf the division factor is 1, i.e. no clock division is done, the clock divider should be bypassed. This can be done via the reference clock source register.a
Lower Divider Register
Table 32: Lower Divider Register
Upper Divider Register
Table 33: Upper Divider Register
Reference Clock Pulse Width Register
This register determines the width of the reference clock high pulse in numbers of recovered clock cycles. The minimum pulse width is 150ns. If the clock divider is bypassed or the reference clock frequency is not 8 kHz, no pulse is generated.a
Table 34: Reference Clock Pulse Width Register
Serial PROM Update Register
The FPGA image is stored in two redundant PROMS.This register is used by upper layer software to control the upgrade of the FPGA image. Consult your local Motorola representative for the availability of new FPGA image versions and upgrade software.a
Version Register
This register indicates the version of the FPGA. The initial value is FE16a and is counted down with each new release.a
Table 35: Version Register
Access Control Register
This register determines the current owner of the following interfaces:
SClock synchronisation building block interface
SEthernet switch management interface
SSPROM update interface
The current owner of each interface is either the IPMC or the host CPU.a
Only the current owner has write access to the corresponding registers. The non???proprietor has only read access.a
If the non???proprietor wants to become owner, it has to request ownership from the current owner. The current owner then has to grant ownership by inverting the bit corresponding to the interface.a

Battery Exchange
Battery Exchange
The blade contains an on???board battery. Its location is shown in the following figure.a
Figure 42: Location of On???board Battery
The battery provides data retention of seven years summing up all periods of actual data use. Motorola therefore assumes that there usually is no need to exchange the battery except, for example, in case of long???term spare part handling.aa
SBoard/System damage
Incorrect exchange of lithium batteries can result in a hazardous explosion.a Therefore, exchange the battery as described in this chapter.
SData loss
If the battery does not provide enough power anymore, the RTC is initialized and the data in the NVRAM is lost.
Therefore, exchange the battery before seven years of actual battery use have elapsed.
SData loss
Exchanging the battery always results in data loss of the devices which use the battery as power backup.a
Therefore, back up affected data before exchanging the battery.
SData loss
If installing another battery type than is mounted at board delivery may cause data loss since other battery types may be specified for other environments or may have a shorter lifetime.a
Therefore, only use the same type of lithium battery as is already installed.
Exchange Procedure
1. Remove old battery
PCB and battery holder damage
Removing the battery with a screw driver may damage the PCB or the battery holder. To prevent this damage, do not use a screw driver to remove the battery from its holder.
2.Locate the ???+??? sign on the new battery. It indicates the positive terminal of the battery.a
3.Insert the battery into the blade???s battery holder in such a way that the ???+??? on top of the battery is face up
