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 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 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.

Page 44
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 max. 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 (with 10 DSP-Modules) 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.

BIOS

4.1 Introduction

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 tests 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. This is done via an IPMI command. For further details, refer to section System Boot Options Parameter #96 on page 186.
The BIOS used on the blade is based on the Phoenix UEFI BIOS with several Artesyn Embedded Technologies extensions integrated. Its main features are:
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:
UEFI Specification 2.0
Plug and Play BIOS Specification 1.0A
PCI BIOS Specification 2.1
SMBIOS Specification 2.7
BIOS Boot Specification 1.01
PXE 2.1
SMP 1.4
ACPI 4.0
The BIOS setup program is required to configure the blade hardware. This configuration is necessary for operating the blade and connected peripherals. The configuration data are stored in the same flash device from which the board boots.
ATCA-8330 Installation and Use (6806800S82B)
71
Page 72
BIOS
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 <F3> in Setup.
Loading the BIOS default values affect all setup items and reset options previously
altered.
If you set the default values, the displayed default values takes effect only after the BIOS
setup is saved and closed.

4.2 Accessing the Blade Using the Serial Console Redirection

The blade’s firmware provides a serial console redirection feature allowing remote access to the blade through a terminal connected to the blade's serial interface.
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 a setup utility.

4.2.1 Requirements for Serial Console Redirection

For serial console redirection, the following is required:
Terminal or terminal emulation which supports a VT100 mode
NULL-modem cable
Terminal emulation programs such as TeraTermPro or Putty can be used.

4.2.2 Default Access Parameters

By default, the blade can be accessed using the serial interface COM1. By default, this interface is accessible using a RJ-45 connector at the blade's faceplate.
72
ATCA-8330 Installation and Use (6806800S82B)
Page 73
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:
Baud rate: 115200
Flow control: None
VT-100
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit

4.2.3 Connecting to the Blade

Procedure
BIOS
In order to connect to the blade using the serial console redirect feature, proceed as follows:
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 of the blade.
4. Start up the blade.

4.3 Changing Configuration Settings

When the system is switched on or rebooted, the presence and functionality of the system components is tested by Power-On Self-Test (POST).
ATCA-8330 Installation and Use (6806800S82B)
73
Page 74
BIOS
Press <F2> when requested. The main menu appears. It looks similar to the one shown in the following figure.
Figure 4-1 Main Menu
74
Make sure that BIOS is properly configured prior to installing the operating system and
its drivers.
If you save changes in setup, the next time the blade boots up, BIOS configures 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.
In order to navigate in setup, use the arrow keys on the keyboard 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 window.

4.4 Boot Options

This section describes which boot devices are supported by the BIOS and how to select the boot device.

4.4.1 Supported Boot Devices

The BIOS supports booting from the following devices/sources:
USB devices, such as floppy, CD ROM, and hard disk
Solid State Disk connected to the SATA interface. (available only when SSD SATA is
assembled)
Network (Front Panel Ethernet, Base Ethernet)

4.4.2 Selecting the Boot Device

BIOS
There are two possibilities to determine the device from which BIOS attempts to boot:
By setup, to select a permanent order of boot devices
By boot selection menu, to select any device for the next boot-up procedure only
ATCA-8330 Installation and Use (6806800S82B)
75

BIOS
By Setup
To select the boot device by setup, proceed as follows:
1. From the menu, select Boot.
Figure 4-2 Boot Menu
76
2. 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. When BIOS does not find any bootable device, the board will be restarted by a cold reset.

BIOS

4.5 IPMI Boot Parameter

Many BIOS setup parameters and setup default parameters are stored as IPMI boot parameters within a non-volatile memory controlled by the IPMC. IPMI boot parameter supports USER and DEFAULT area. The USER area contains the current BIOS setup settings. The parameters in the USER area can be modified by the BIOS setup utility and can also be modified remotely by IPMI commands. For example, through shelf manager.
The DEFAULT area holds the BIOS default settings. This area is read only. BIOS default settings are loaded when selecting the Restore Defaults Item on BIOS Save & Exit Menu.
A detailed description of the IPMI Boot Parameter and the corresponding IPMI commands is available in the System Boot Options Parameter #100 on page 188.
The main advantage of using IPMI boot parameter is that the parameters stored as IPMI boot parameters are not changed after a BIOS upgrade or a BIOS boot bank switch. BIOS will not return to the BIOS default settings after a BIOS upgrade.
Normally, the BIOS setup parameters are stored within the BIOS flash. The following figure and description helps you to understand how a BIOS setup parameter and an IPMI boot parameter interact.

4.7.8 Memory Configuration

The ATCA-8330 supports three different memory RAS (Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability) modes: Independent Channel Mode, Mirrored Channel Mode, and Lockstep Channel Mode.
88
ATCA-8330 Installation and Use (6806800S82B)
Page 89
4.7.8.1 Independent Channel Mode
In independent mode, all four channels are operating independently. The ECC code appears in each independent channel. Failure of the DRAM can be corrected. The correction capabilities in independent mode are:
Correction of any x4 DRAM device failure.
Detection of 99.986% of all single bit failures that occur in addition to an x4 DRAM failure.
Detection of any 2-bit uncorrectable errors.
4.7.8.2 Mirrored Channel Mode
The Integrated Memory Controller supports mirroring across channels. DIMM organization in each slot of one channel must be identical to the DIMM in the corresponding slot of the other channel. When mirroring is enabled, the memory image in Channel 0 is maintained similar to Channel 1. DIMMs and Channel 2 is maintained to Channel3 DIMMs. Uncorrectable errors are logged and signaled as correctable, but change the channel state to "Disabled", and the working partner to "Redundancy Loss".
BIOS
4.7.8.3 Lockstep Channel Mode
The Lockstep configuration requires all memory channels equipped with the same DIMMs. The ECC DRAM on each DIMM is mapped in to two adjacent symbols so that any failure of the DRAM can be corrected. The correction capabilities in lockstep mode are:
Correction of any x4 or x8 DRAM device failure.
Detection of 99.986% of all single bit failures that occur in addition to an x8 DRAM failure.
The Memory Controller will detect a series of failures on a specific DRAM and use this
information in addition to the information provided by the code to achieve 100% detection of these cases.
Detection of all permutations of 2 x4 DRAM failures.

4.8 Restoring BIOS Default Settings

The blade provides an on-board configuration switch that allows to load BIOS settings from the DEFAULT area of the IPMI Boot Parameters. In order to restore the BIOS default settings using this switch, proceed as follows:
ATCA-8330 Installation and Use (6806800S82B)
89
Page 90
BIOS
Procedure
To restore the BIOS default settings, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the blade from the system.
See Installing and Removing the Blade on page 53, for the exact procedure.
2. Set the on-board switch SW4-3 OFF and SW4-4 ON.
See Switch Settings on page 46, for the exact location of SW4.
3. Install and power up the blade.
See Installing and Removing the Blade on page 53, for the exact procedure.
4. Wait until the blade has completely booted and is up and running.
5. Remove the blade from the system again.
See Installing and Removing the Blade on page 53, for the exact procedure.
6. Set switch SW4-3 and SW4-4 to OFF.
Now the BIOS default settings are restored.

4.9 IPMI Support

The ATCA-8330 BIOS provides the following IPMI support:
Sets initial timestamp for IPMI SEL events
Sends a Boot Initiated event
Sends Memory DIMM detect and error events
Sends RTS detect and error events
Sends system firmware progress events
Reads out the IPMC version of the main board and the RTM
Reads the FRU information of the main board, the Acceleration module and the RTM.
Logs boot error in case of no boot device found
Reads the IPMI GUID and fills in the DMI structure 1 UUID.
Show SEL and Sensor Values in BIOS setup
90
ATCA-8330 Installation and Use (6806800S82B)
Page 91
BIOS creates the DMI structure type 38 to provide IPMI host interface information to the OS.
BIOS reads and creates the IPMI boot parameter, which are stored in the IPMC. The list of the supported IPMI boot parameter is described in Table 9-15 on page 192.

4.10 Watchdog Support

BIOS uses the IPMI payload watchdog for two phases:
BIOS phase
Operation System boot phase
The IPMC starts automatically the IPMI payload watchdog after the payload board comes out of reset. In this case the FRB2 flag of the IPMI watchdog is set.
BIOS can enable the IPMI watchdog for monitoring the loading of the Operating System. The watchdog is started just before BIOS starting the OS boot loader.
BIOS
The IPMI watchdog can be configured in the BIOS Setup, refer Table 4-12.

4.11 BIOS Error Logging

BIOS supports the following methods to report errors:
SMBIOS error logging
IPMI event logging
Error logging to the console

4.11.1 Runtime Error Logging

BIOS supports Runtime Error Logging for memory errors and PCI errors. See BIOS Setup Advanced -> Runtime Error Logging. Errors are logged to the IPMI controller and to the SMBIOS event log.
The Runtime Error Logging can be enabled or disabled. If enabled, the PCI Error Logging can be enabled or disabled separately.
ATCA-8330 Installation and Use (6806800S82B)
91
Page 92
BIOS
For correctable memory error logging, there are two additional parameters to prevent the flooding of the event logs. The parameters are:
Error Threshold - Correctable memory errors are logged when the threshold is reached.
The first correctable memory error is always logged.
Error Logging Limit - The number of logged correctable memory errors for a DIMM is
limited. If the last entry in the log is SMBIOS: 'Correctable memory log disabled' and IPMI: Memory event 'Correctable ECC logging limit reached'. No further correctable errors are logged for this DIMM.

4.12 Upgrading the BIOS

A BIOS upgrade kit for the blade is available. This allows the BIOS to be upgraded. The BIOS upgrade kit contains documentation which describes in detail how to upgrade the BIOS.
Update tool for Linux is provided with Basic Blade Services (BBS).
The BIOS can also be upgraded via IPMI - HPM.1 (Hardware Platform Management IPM Controller Firmware Upgrade). Refer to Firmware Upgrade.
After performing a BIOS upgrade or after restoring a corrupted BIOS image, all BIOS settings are reset to their default values except for parameters that are stored in IPMC storage area. See Table "System Boot Options Parameter #100 - Supported Parameters" on page 192.

4.13 BIOS Status Codes

The following tables list the BIOS POST codes. The BIOS POST codes are written to the blade's I/O Port 80 register and can be obtained by reading the "POST code" on-board IPMI sensor. The reading of the "POST code" sensor is only valid when the board is in the BIOS phase. The reading can be used to locate the cause of a board hang during BIOS phase. When the board has booted a OS, the reading of the '"POST code" sensor returns no valid status code.
For debugging purpose, the POST Codes can be printed to the serial console by setting DIP Switch 4-3 and 4-4 to ON.
