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 has to be equipped with an additional fuse of maximum 90 A 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 (maximum memory population, 3x MO297 SSD
modules, with RTM-ATCA-748X-40G and QSFPs) 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.

3. Insert the blade into the shelf by placing the top and bottom edges of the blade in the card
guides of the shelf. Make sure that the guiding module of shelf and blade are aligned
properly.
4. Apply equal and steady pressure to the blade to carefully slide the blade into the shelf until
you feel resistance. Continue to push the blade gently until the blade connectors engage.
5. Fully insert the blade and turn the handle towards the faceplate. The latch automatically
slides inwards and locks the handle.
If you feel that you need an abnormal amount of force during blade insertion into the slot,
please extract the blade, then carefully inspect the blade and slot for problems to prevent
damage.
If your shelf is powered, as soon as the blade is connected to the backplane power pins, the
blue LED is illuminated.

Page 62
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.
2.6.2Removing the Blade

Removal Procedure
The following procedure describes how to remove the blade from a 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 handle from the faceplate by sliding the latch into the release position
and pull out the handle outward. Do not rotate the handle fully outward. The blue
LED starts blinking indicates that the blade power-down process is ongoing.
2. Wait until the blue LED is illuminated permanently. Loosen the screws of the
faceplate, then unlatch the handle and rotate the handle fully outward until the
blade is detached from the shelf.
If the LED continues to blink, a possible reason may be that the upper layer software has
rejected the blade extraction request.
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.

Controls, Indicators, and Connectors
The blade provides one RS-232 serial interface connector at its faceplate. It is of type RJ-45 and
corresponds to the physical serial interface port 1. By default, the BIOS maps this interface to
the serial interface COM1. The on-board switch 2-1 allows to swap COM1 with COM2, making
COM2 accessible through the faceplate connector instead. Note that the BIOS serial
redirection feature uses COM1 as access interface. Therefore, swapping the serial interfaces via
SW2-1 also changes the serial connector that you need to access to make use of the serial
redirection feature.

4.10.3System Event Log EEPROM
ATCA-7480 contains a 64KByte System Event Log (SEL) PROM. The EEPROM has an I2C
interface and is connected to the on-board Private I2C interface of IPMC building block. The
IDROM is assigned to I2C address 0xA2.
4.11Serial Redirection
The CPU serial redirection reroutes the console input and output; that is the text output to the
text screen and input from the standard keyboard. The console is used by the BIOS setup
menus, BIOS initialization and boot routines, OS boot loaders, and the loaded OSs.
The serial console of the payload CPU is available via SOL. In addition to the SOL capability, the
serial console is also available on the blade faceplate using an RJ45 connector with Cisco pinout.
If an SOL session is established, only the output is available on the faceplate. Input is not
possible during this time via the faceplate. Alternatively to the CPU serial console, the IPMC
serial console is also available on the faceplate serial connector. It can be selected via specific
IPMI OEM command.
Functional Description
4.12Serial Over LAN
Serial over LAN (SOL) enables suitably designed blades and servers to transparently redirect a
serial character stream of a baseboard UART to/from a remote client via LAN over RMCP+
sessions. This enables users at remote consoles to access the serial port of a blade/server and
interact with a text-based BIOS console, operating system, command line interfaces, and serial
text-based applications.
The IPMC provides a dedicated sideband connection to the Base Interface Ethernet controller.
This connectivity is not shared with IPMB-0 or any other I2C/SMBus/IPMB connections that the
IPMC may use on the blade for hardware management. Data from the payload serial
redirection is routed through the sideband connection to the Base I/F and vice versa. The
Ethernet controller filters packets based on either MAC address, RMCP port number, or IP
address and forwards them to the serial redirection over the sideband interface.
Client software like openIPMI is required to enable SOL and to communicate with the SOL
based serial console.
