1.1 Introduction
The ADLINK aTCA-6250 is a high performance AdvancedTCA® (ATCA) processor blade
featuring dual 8-core Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2658/E5-2648L, Intel® C604 PCH, eightchannel memory up to 128GB of DDR3 memory and 400W power supply subsystem. Versatile
connectivity includes dual 10GbE Fabric Interfaces, dual GbE Base Interfaces, quad front
panel GbE egress ports, front panel dual COM and USB 2.0 ports and front panel VGA
connector. An onboard SATA connector supports a disk on module (DOM) up to 32GB and the
optional RTM (aTCA-R6270) supports dual 10GbE SFP+ ports, dual USB ports and dual hotswappable SAS bays providing additional network throughput and storage capacities.
The aTCA-6250's thermal solution (including VRM heat sink) ensures stable operation under
extreme operating environments and allows for compliance to the NEBS Level 3 standard
(design only). The robust computing power and reliability of the aTCA-6250 meets the

The aTCA-6250 is a dual processor system with each Intel® Xeon® processor E5 providing
four memory channels supporting DDR3 800, 1066, 1333, and 1600 MT/s DIMMs. The
maximum memory capacity is 128GB with memory interleaving support. The 400/533/667/800
MHz differential memory clocks are driven by the Intel® Xeon® processor E5 CPU with
length-matching and impedance controlled through all the DIMM slots.
The next generation of Xeon® family CPU is code named Ivy Bridge-EP. Each Ivy Bridge-EP
provides four memory channels supporting DDR3 800, 1066, 1333, 1600 and 1866MT/s
DIMMs. The maximum memory capacity is 128GB with memory interleaving support. The
400/533/667/800/933 MHz differential memory clocks are driven by the Ivy Bridge-EP CPU
with length-matching and impedance controlled through all the DIMM slots.
The DDR3 DIMMs support the I2C interface. They are connected together and routed to the
PCH for the management.
Memory configuration changes are only permitted to be performed at the factory.
Failure to comply with the above may result in damage to your board or improper
operation.

3.2 Peripherals
The following peripherals are available on the aTCA-6250 blade
3.2.1 Reset
The aTCA-6250 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-6250 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
IPM controller reset

Two ports routed to RTM
On the USB 2.0 front panel port, a USB cable up to 5 meters in length can be used.
On the USB 2.0 Rear I/O ports, it is strongly recommended to use a cable less than 3 meters
in length for USB 2.0 devices.
The USB 2.0 ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable. Hi-speed USB 2.0
allows data transfers of up to 480 Mb/s, 40 times faster than a full-speed USB (USB 1.1).
One USB peripheral may be connected to each port.
With the aTCA-R6270 (RTM), the aTCA-6250 supports two additional USB ports on the I/O
panel of the RTM.

3.3.3 Ethernet Connection
The aTCA-6250 is equipped with one quad-port Intel® I350 AM4 Gigabit Ethernet
Controller and one dual-port Intel® 82576EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller which provide six
GbE ports in total. In default configuration, four ports from the Intel® I350 AM4 Gigabit
Ethernet Controller are connected to the front panel RJ-45 ports. Two GbE ports from the
Intel® 82576EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller are connected to Zone 2 Base Channels 1 and
2 (BCH1/BCH2).
The aDB-6100-A Fabric riser card is installed on the aTCA-6250 by default and provides
support for different configurations of Fabric Channels 1 and 2. Equipped with an Intel®
82599EB Ethernet controller, the riser card provides two 10GbE links to Fabric Channels 1
and 2 (FCH1/FCH2).
With the aTCA-R6270 RTM installed, the aTCA-6250 supports dual 10GbE SFP+ ports
from the Intel 82599ES Network Interface Controller connected to the PCIe x8 bus of CPU1.

3.3.6 Switch And Jumper Settings
3.3.6.1 Set Blade Operation Mode
Use switch SW4 to set the Blade Operation Mode. Normal operation requires a shelf manager for the blade to
boot. Standalone mode allows the blade to boot without a shelf manager.

4 Intelligent Platform Management
System
The purpose of the intelligent platform management system is to monitor, control, and assure
proper operation of AdvancedTCA® Boards and other Shelf components. The intelligent
platform management system watches over the basic health of the system, reports anomalies,
and takes corrective action when needed. The intelligent 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 intelligent platform management
system can also perform basic recovery operations such as reset of managed entities.
The IPMC controller on aTCA-6250 supports an “intelligent” hardware management system,
based on the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification. The intelligent
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.
