2.2Environmental and Power Requirements
In order to meet the environmental requirements, the blade must be tested in the system in
which it is to be installed.
Before you power up the blade, calculate the power needed according to the combination of
blade upgrades and accessories.
2.2.1Environmental 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.
The environmental requirements of the blade may be further limited down due to
installed accessories, such as hard disks with more restrictive environmental
requirements.
Operating temperatures refer to the temperature of the air circulating around the
blade and not to the actual component temperature.
Blade Surface and Blade Damage
High humidity and condensation on the blade surface causes short circuits.
Do not operate the blade outside the specified environmental limits. Make sure that the
blade is completely dry and there is no moisture on any surface before applying power.
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 the forced air cooling is available on the shelf.

2.2.2Power Requirements
The blade's power requirements depend on the installed hardware accessories. If you want to
install accessories on the blade, the load of the respective accessory must be added to that of
the blade. In Table 2-2, 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 Artesyn
Embedded Technologies representative for further details.
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 over voltages from
telecommunication networks.

Hardware Preparation and Installation
The blade provides two independent power inputs according to the AdvancedTCA
Specification. Each input must 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).
The power consumption has been measured using specific boards in a configuration
considered to represent the worst-case (with RTM-ATCA-737x and SAS HDD, maximum
memory population, ACC-7370 module) and with software simultaneously exercising as
many functions and interfaces as possible. This includes a particular load software provided
by Intel, designed to stress the processors to reach their theoretical maximum power
specification.
Any difference in the system configuration or the software executed by the processors may
affect the actual power dissipation. Depending on the actual operating configuration and
conditions, customers may see slightly higher power dissipation, or it may even be
significantly lower. There is also a dependency on the batch variance of the major
components like the processor and DIMMs used. Hence, Artesyn does not represent or
warrant that measurement results of a specific board provide guaranteed maximum values
for a series of boards.

Installation Procedure
The following procedure describes the installation of the blade. It assumes that your system is
powered on. If your system is not powered on, you can disregard the blue LED and thus skip the
respective step. In this case, it is purely a mechanical installation.
1. Ensure that the top and bottom ejector handles are in the outward position by
squeezing the lever and the latch together.
60
2. Insert the blade into the shelf by placing the top and bottom edges of the blade in
the card guides of the shelf. Ensure that the guiding module of shelf and blade are
aligned properly.
3. Apply equal and steady pressure to the blade to carefully slide the blade into the
shelf until you feel resistance. Continue to gently push the blade until the blade
connectors engage.
4. Squeeze the lever and the latch together and hook the lower and the upper handle
into the shelf rail recesses.
5. Fully insert the blade and lock it to the shelf by squeezing the lever and the latch
together, and turning the handles towards the faceplate.
If your shelf is powered on, as soon as the blade is connected to the backplane
power pins, the blue LED is illuminated.

Page 61
Hardware Preparation and Installation
When the blade is completely installed, the blue LED starts to blink. This indicates
that the blade has signified its presence to the shelf management controller.
If an RTM is connected to the front blade, make sure that the handles of both the RTM and
the front blade are closed in order to power up the blade’s payload.
6. Wait until the blue LED is switched off, then fasten the faceplate screws, which
secure the blade to the shelf.
When the blue LED is switched OFF and the green LED (IS) is switched ON,
this indicates that the payload has been powered up and the blade is active.
7. Connect cables to the faceplate, if applicable.
2.5.2Removing the Blade
This section describes how to remove the blade from an AdvancedTCA system.

Removal Procedure
The following procedure describes how to remove the blade from the shelf. It assumes that the
system is powered on. If the system is not powered on, you can disregard the blue LED and skip
the respective steps. In that case, it is purely a mechanical procedure.
1. Unlatch the lower handle by squeezing the lever and the latch together and turning
the handle outward just enough to unlatch the handle from the faceplate. Do not
rotate the handle fully outward.
The blue LED blinks indicating that the blade power-down process is ongoing.
2. Wait until the blue LED is illuminated permanently, then unlatch the upper handle
and rotate both handles fully outward.
If the LED continues to blink, a possible reason may be that the upper layer software
rejected the blade extraction request.
62
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.
3. Remove the faceplate cables, if applicable.
4. Loosen the screws of the faceplate until the blade is detached from the shelf.
5. Remove the blade from the shelf.

BIOS
4.1Features
The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) 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 test, known as Power-On Self Tests (POST)
and prepares the blade for the initial boot-up procedure.
During blade production, identical BIOS images are programmed into both boot flash banks. It
is possible to select boot flash as device to boot from. You can do this via an IPMI command. For
further details refer Chapter 8, Supported IPMI Commands, on page 183.
The BIOS used on the blade is based on the Phoenix UEFI BIOS with several Artesyn extensions
integrated. Its main features are as follows:
Initialize CPU, chipset and memory
Initialize PCI devices
Chapter 4
Setup utility for setting configuration data
IPMC support
Serial console redirection for remote blade access
Boot operation system
The BIOS complies with the following specifications:
ATCA-7370/ATCA-7370-S Installation and Use (6806800P54H)
75
Page 76
BIOS
SMP 1.4
ACPI 4.0
The BIOS contains online documentation which describes in detail the available menu
options. Therefore, the description in this manual is limited to the main BIOS functions.
The BIOS setup program is required to configure the blade hardware. This configuration is
necessary for operating the blade and its connected peripherals. The configuration data is
stored in the same flash device from where the board boots.
When you are not sure about configuration settings, restore the default values. This option is
provided in case a value has been changed and you wish to reset settings. To restore the default
values, press <F9> key in setup.
Loading the BIOS default values affect all setup items and reset options that are
previously altered.
If you set the default values, the displayed default values take effect only after the BIOS
setup is saved and closed.
4.1.1Update and Recovery
The ATCA-7370 has two different ways to update the BIOS.
Flash tool (FCU and ipmitool in Linux) is used for normal upgrade mode.
USB CD-ROM or USB flash device is used in BIOS recovery modes.

4.1.2DRAM Support
The BIOS supports the following features of the memory controller:
Auto-sizing - The BIOS reads the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data from the memory
modules and automatically configures the chipset accordingly.
Error Correction Code (ECC) Support
–Single Bit Errors (SBE) can be detected, corrected and logged. Multi-Bit Errors (MBE)
can be detected but not corrected.
–By default, the BIOS enables ECC support in the chipset. However the BIOS setup menu
provides an option to enable or disable ECC.
–ECC Error Report Support: ATCA-7370 supports ECC error reporting. When an ECC
error occurs, the memory controller hardware increments an ECC error count and
triggers the System Management Interrupt (SMI) to let BIOS or OS handle the ECC
error.
BIOS
–The ECC counter is cleared at power cycle reset. The counter is preserved during a cold
reset, warm reset and S3 suspend/resume.
–The SMI routine is used to handle ECC error report on both the BIOS and OS. The ECC
error log is stored in the BIOS SPI Flash. After Linux is booted up, the Error Detection
and Correction Module (EDAC) is also used to count the ECC error.
–Correctable ECC logging and threshold setting in "BIOS setup / Advanced":
BothThis item selects the ECC runtime errors which
are to be logged in the SMBIOS event log.
1This item is used to enter the correctable error
threshold value if "Memory ECC Error Log" is
not disabled. The logging threshold is based
per memory rank, not per DIMM or overall.
100This item is used to set the error logging limit
value per second if "Memory ECC Error Log" is
not disabled. If the number of correctable ECC
error logs produced per second reaches the
flood threshold, the correctable ECC error
reporting is disabled. The flood threshold is an
overall setting.

77
Page 78
BIOS
Example:
Set threshold to 10.
Given a dual rank DIMM and if 5 errors occur in rank 0 DIMM and 5 errors in rank 1
DIMM, then no ECC event is recorded.
Given a dual rank DIMM and if all the 10 errors occur in one single rank i.e. either rank

4.1.3Interrupt Routing
The BIOS provides the interrupt routing to the operating system through the following
interfaces:
The BIOS supports PCI BIOS Specification Revision 2.1.
During Power On Self Test (POST), the BIOS identifies all PCI-to-PCI bridges and all PCI devices
with a header Type 1 in the system. It then initializes them according to their resource
requirements.
BIOS
If the PCI’s option ROM is detected, it will be executed and its function implemented. The
network option ROM adds new boot option to the BIOS boot table. The SAS option ROM shows
SAS configuration utility menu which lets the end user create RAID volume.
4.1.5I/O Device Configuration
4.1.5.1Serial Ports
The ATCA-7370 supports two serial ports in OS, but supports only one serial port for console
redirection in the BIOS. The default value is 3F8h/IRQ4.
4.1.5.2Integrated SATA Controller
The BIOS provides setup items to configure the embedded serial ATA controller for debugging
purposes.It also supports hard disk auto typing. The BIOS automatically determines the proper
geometry for hard disks by reading the information from the drive.

4.1.6Boot Options
The ATCA-7370 supports the BIOS Boot Specification 1.01. The BIOS identifies all IPL (BAID,
BEV) devices and BCV devices (hard drives, USB sticks) in the system and will attempt to boot
them in the order specified in startup.
The following boot devices are integrated in the BIOS:
USB devices (sticks, hard drives, CD-ROM)
Network (BEV)
SAS HDD connected to C604 chipset
SATA connected to C604 chipset
EFI Shell
The default boot order is as follows:
Attached USB CD-ROM
Attached USB devices on the external USB port
SAS HDD
SATA HDD
Base Ethernet Interfaces
If the BIOS does not find any ready bootable device, it will loop on the source list until a boot
device becomes ready. After 10 loops, the BIOS initiates a cold reset and retries again or when
configured the BMC watchdog.
The BIOS organizes the devices in groups: CD-ROM, HDD, network, floppy, SAS HDD. Any
device can be set as the first boot device by raising it to the first boot device of its device group,
then raising that group to the first boot group.
The boot order for a certain device and its device group can be set even in the absence of that
device. The order is preserved. When the device is added later, it will be available at the
specified boot order.
4.1.6.1Boot Support for the SAS Controller
The BIOS contains an option ROM SAS controller on the payload. Supports Legacy boot from
SAS HDDs.

The ATCA-7370 supports four SAS ports. Two local SAS ports are located in the RTM module,
the other two SAS ports are connected to the external ports of the RTM. The SAS physical port
number is assigned as follows:
P0 - Local SAS 1 which is far from RTM zone 3 connector
P1 - Local SAS 2 which is near from RTM zone 3 connector
P2 - External SAS 1
P3 - External SAS 2
The BIOS and Linux follow the SAS port physical number to assign sequence number. For
example, BIOS and Linux will assign sequence number as following:

4.1.7Console or I/O Redirection
The Console redirection or I/O redirection to a COM port allows to configure the BIOS through
the setup menu even in the absence of a VGA adapter. The following option is configurable
through the BIOS setup:
OptionDescription
BaudrateSupports 9600 baud, 19200 baud, 38400 baud, and 115200 baud.
The default value is 9600.
The serial port 1 is fully compliant to industry standard 16550 asynchronous communication
controllers and is integrated in the Glue Logic FPGA.
4.1.8Serial Over LAN (SOL)
The BIOS writes to FPGA register in the COM port number where the console redirection is
completed.
The BIOS sets FPGA register 0x603 bit 0 to high (Serial reduction control register) to indicate
that the BIOS uses serial port 1 for SOL function. Further steps to initialize SOL is completed by
IPMC.
4.1.9IPMI Support
The ATCA-7370 BIOS provides the following IPMI support:
Checks if the IPMI controller is active. If not, it will display an appropriate error message.
Reads self-test result from the IPMI controller display. It will display an error message if the
self-test fails.
Sets initial timestamps for IPMI events
Sends system firmware progress to the IPMI.
Logs boot errors to the IPMI event log.
Sends OS boot events.
Reads slot information from the IPMI controller and fills the DMI structure Type 1 UUID.

The only supported interface is Keyboard Controller Style (KCS). The IPMI base address and
interrupt is provided to OS via SMBIOS structure type38 and is tested with Linux OpenIPMI
driver.
4.1.9.1Watchdogs
The watchdogs in ATCA-7370 are implemented by BMC watchdog.
The BIOS uses BMC watchdog in two phases.
BIOS phase
OS phase
The BMC watchdog for BIOS phase is started by the BMC automatically after the payload board
is powered on. The BIOS can disable BMC watchdog through the BIOS setup menu. If BMC
watchdog for BIOS is enabled, it will be disabled when BIOS setup menu is invoked boot to shell
or boot to OS. Timer value for BIOS phases is also configurable through BIOS setup menu. The
default time value is set to three minutes and the BMC watchdog for BIOS phase is enabled by
default.
BIOS
The BIOS can disable the BMC watchdog for OS loading phases through the BIOS setup. Timer
value for OS loading phases is also configurable through the BIOS setup. The default timer value
is five minutes, and the BMC watchdog for OS phase is disabled by default.
If BMC watchdog times out in the BIOS phase, BMC will switch the BIOS bank.
4.1.10SMBIOS Support
The BIOS includes SMBIOS structures according to SMBIOS 2.4 and IPMI1.5 specifications.
4.1.11LED Behavior During POST
After power up/reset and while BIOS runs, the LEDs are used to signalize the power up/ BIOS
phases. The state of LEDs is defined so that in case of a hang, the LEDs clearly indicate in which
boot up phase the hang occurred. In general, to indicate the POST is in progress, the BIOS
toggles the user LED for every POST task it executes. After the completion of the POST, the BIOS
switches off the LEDs. The LEDs marked with B1/U1,B2/U2 and U3 are used for this purpose.
