RTM-ATCA-736X-DD Installation and Use (6806800L82C)

Introduction

1.1 Overview

The RTM-ATCA-736X-DD is a rear transition module (RTM) designed specifically to work with
the Artesyn ATCA-736x processor blade family. The RTM features a two-port 1 Gb Ethernet
controller, a four-port SAS controller and two removable disk cards called SAS Drive Carriers.
The disk cards each hold one 2.5" disk, and fit wholly within the RTM thermal envelope to
provide an environment for proper disk cooling.

Functionally, the RTM-ATCA-736X-DD utilizes two PCI Express buses to connect with the
Ethernet and SAS controllers. The Ethernet controller provides two 1000Base-T Ethernet
connections using RJ45 copper media jacks on the RTM back panel. These ports are compatible
with commodity off-the-shelf, non-proprietary CAT-5E or similar cables.

The SAS controller provides four SAS/SATA ports that each operates at 3 Gb/s. Two SAS ports
route to the removable disks, and two SAS ports route back to the Zone 3 connector for
additional storage expansion. For example, the front blade can add more storage by routing
these ports to disks or to a SAS expander.

Chapter 1

Finally, the RTM-ATCA-736X-DD includes numerous indicator LEDs and a modular
management controller (MMC) with a hot swap notification mechanism to coordinate disk
servicing the front blade OS. The MMC also performs intelligent monitoring and management
tasks and conforms to the PICMG 3.0 and AMC.0 R2 specification.

Chapter 2

Installation

2.1 Overview

This chapter contains the procedures for installing and removing the RTM-ATCA-736X-DD
RTM.

2.2 Installation and Removal of the Rear Transition Module

The RTM-ATC A-736X-DD can be installed into an ATCA shelf (chassis) with a midplane made for
front and rear board installations. The module must be installed in the slot directly behind the
host ATCA node board. These back-to-back slots have common pins to enable passing of
signals using the Zone-3 connector complex.

2.3 Important Information about Your Chassis

Before installing the rear transition module, verify the module's part number to ensure that the
correct rear transition module is being installed into the system. For information on identifying
the rear transition module, see Products Supported by this Manual, on page 20.

2.3.1 Safety Statement

The RTM-ATCA-736X-DD is designed to comply with IEC60950-1, and is intended to be used
with similarly tested AdvancedTCA products that have a user's guide detailing user installation
of module accessories.

2.3.2 Observe Maximum Module Current Requirements

There are several manufacturing options for the RTM. Be sure to validate that the host chassis
can supply the RTM slot with these maximum current requirements.

2.4 Before You Install Or Remove the RTM

Boards may be damaged if improperly installed or handled. Please read and follow the
guidelines in this section to protect your equipment.

2.4.1 Observe ESD Precautions

Artesyn strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam pad
when installing or upgrading a system. Electronic components, such as disk drives, computer
boards, and memory modules, can be extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
After removing the component from its protective wrapper or from the system, place the
component flat on a grounded, static-free sur face (and, in the case of a board, component side
up). Do not slide the component over any surface.

If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD by wearing an
antistatic wrist strap (available at electronics stores) that is attached to an active electrical
ground. Note that a system chassis may not be grounded if it is unplugged.

2.4.2 Watch for Bent Pins or Other Damage

Bent pins or loose components can cause damage to the board, the backplane, or other system
components. Carefully inspect your board and the backplane for both pin and component
integrity before installation. Bent pins caused by improper installation or by boards with
damaged connectors could void the warranty for the backplane or boards.

If a system contains one or more damaged pins, power off the system and contact your local
sales representative to schedule delivery of a replacement chassis assembly.

26

RTM-ATCA-736X-DD Installation and Use (6806800L82C)

Installation

2.5 Use Caution When Installing or Removing RTM

When first installing boards in an empty chassis or onto a carrier card, we recommend that
you start at the left of the card cage and work to the right.

When inserting or removing a board in a slot adjacent to other boards, use extra caution to
avoid damage to the pins and components located on the primary or secondary sides of the
boards.

2.5.1 Preserve EMI Compliance

To preserve compliance with applicable standards and regulations for electromagnetic
interference (EMI), during operation, all front and rear openings on the chassis or board
faceplates must be filled with an appropriate card or covered with a filler panel. If the EMI
barrier is open, devices may cause or be susceptible to excessive interference.

2.5.2 Understand Hot Swap

Your RTM is electrically designed for hot swap within a fully powered chassis. To facilitate hot
swap, there is a blue LED on the rear faceplate. This LED is under software control.

If your system is using software that provides full hot swap capabilities, the software will
illuminate the blue hot swap LED on the rear faceplate when software has stopped and it is safe
to remove the advanced rear transition module.

If your system does not have hot swap-aware software running, the behavior of the blue LED is
not determined. In this case, you may need to manually shut down applications or operating
systems running on the board prior to board removal, even if the blue LED is lit.

RTM-ATCA-736X-DD Installation and Use (6806800L82C)

27

Installation

Powering down or removing a board before the operating system or other software running on
the board has been properly shut down may cause corruption of data or file systems.

Depending on the type of front blade the RTM is connected to, hot swapping the RTM will
cause the front board to power down its payload. Please consult Artesyn Embedded
Technologies documentation of the relevant front board for further details about RTM hot
swap.

2.6 Verify Slot Usage

Prevent possible damage to module components by verifying the proper slot usage for your
configuration.

2.7 Installing the Advanced Rear Transition Module

28

This section describes a recommended procedure for installing the RTM module in a chassis.

Before you install your module, please read all cautions, warnings, and instructions presented
in this section.

Handling modules and peripherals can result in static damage. Use a grounded wrist strap,
static-dissipating work surface, and antistatic containers when handling and storing
components.

Insert the board by holding the module handles. Do not exert unnecessary pressure on the
faceplate.

Hot swap compliant modules may be installed while the system is powered on. If a module is
not hot swap compliant, you should remove power to the slot or system before installing the
module. Please consult Artesyn Embedded Technologies documentation of the relevant front
board for further details about RTM hot swap.

Installation Process

1. Verify that you have taken the necessary antistatic precautions.

2. Go to the back of the system and choose an appropriate slot for the rear transition module.

RTM-ATCA-736X-DD Installation and Use (6806800L82C)

Installation

Rear transition modules must be installed in-line behind the accompanying node board. For
example, if the accompanying node board is going to be installed in slot 3, its rear transition
module must be installed at the back of the system in slot 3.

3. Remove the slot filler panel from the selected node board slot, if necessary.

4. Prepare the module by loosening the locking screws and opening the injector/ejector latch

at the top of the module as shown in the figure below.

Figure 2-1 Injector / Ejector Latch and Locking Screw

5. Carefully align the edges of the module with the guides in the appropriate slot.

Look into the enclosure to verify correct alignment of the rails in the guides. Align the edges
of the module with the card cage rail guides in the appropriate slot.

29

Installation

6. Keeping the module aligned with the guides, apply equal and steady pressure and slide the

module in until the injector/ejector mechanism engages with the retention bars.

7. Position your thumbs at the top and bottom of the RTM; simultaneously push in the module

and rotate the injector/ejector mechanisms inward to its closed position to seat and secure
the RTM. DO NOT FORCE THE BOARD INTO THE SLOT.

8. Tighten the two module retention screws to secure the module into the shelf.

9. Power on the system, if necessary. Refer to your system manual for instructions on correctly

powering on the system. Once power is applied to the chassis, the internal MMC controller
runs a self-test that runs for approximately 10 seconds. Upon a successful power up self­test, the blue hot swap LED will blink and then turn off, indicating that the module has been
placed in operation.

2.8 Removing the Advanced Rear Transition Module

The RTM-ATCA-736X-DD RTM is hot-swappable and can be removed from the chassis without
powering down its associated node board if supported by the front board. Please consult
Artesyn Embedded Technologiesdocumentation of the relevant front board for further details
about RTM hot swap. This section describes a recommended procedure for removing a board
module from a chassis.

Before you remove your module, please read all cautions, warnings, and instructions presented
in this section. Hot swap compliant modules may be removed while the system is powered on.
If the chassis is not hot swap compliant, you should remove power to the slot or system before
removing the module.

Removing an RTM

1. Loosen the locking screws on the rear transition module.

2. Rotate the top ejector handle to half way (HW) position. Do not remove the module

immediately.

3. If your host module is running a hot swap-aware software, the action of rotating the ejector

lever will start the shutdown process on the board. The software will slowly blink the blue
hot swap LED indicating the module is in the process of being deactivated.

4. Once the module has been deactivated, the blue LED will illuminate steadily. Once this is

done, you can extract the module by pulling on the module handle.

RTM-ATCA-736X-DD Installation and Use (6806800L82C)

Note: Powering down or removing a board before the operating system or other software
running on the board has been properly shut down may cause corruption of data or file
systems.

5. If your board or system is not running hot swap-aware software, the blue LED may

illuminate without regard to software processes still running on the board. Be sure to
manually shut down applications or operating systems running on the board prior to board
removal.

6. Carefully pull the module from the chassis.

7. If the card slot is to remain empty, install a filler panel in the slot.

inches to engage a spring-loaded plastic micro switch.

Note: Removing a DCA without properly preparing the operating system or other software
using the disk, may cause corruption of data or file systems.

2. The corresponding DCA status LED will blink in amber color for approximately five seconds.

The blink indicates the DCA is being de-activated.

3. Once the module has been de-activated, the DCA status LED illuminates steady amber.

4. Loosen the locking thumbscrews on the DCA. Carefully pull the module from the chassis.

SAS RAID Details

3.4 Brief Theory of BIOS Operation

If Boot is enabled, the boot BIOS will scan for SAS hard disks (HD) connected to the RTM.
Discovered disk(s) are enumerated with drive letters and appended to a master list of “devices”
discovered on the host. Upon scan completion, the host will serially inspect the master list of
devices beginning with drive A, and attempt to boot from the first device it finds with a boot
record.

The boot feature is enabled by default on this product.

3.5 Boot BIOS Configuration Utility

The BIOS configuration utility is stored in a flash device located on the RTM module. LSI
Corporation authored the BIOS used on the RTM module. The sections that follow will provide
the user a summary of the BIOS configuration capabilities.

3.5.1 Launching the Boot BIOS Configuration Utility

The boot BIOS allows you to change the default configuration of your RTM module. When the
BIOS loads, the following message appears on your monitor:

Press Ctrl-C to start LSI Configuration Utility...

This message remains on your screen for about five seconds, giving you time to start the utility.
After you press CTRL+C, the message changes to:

Please wait, invoking LSI Configuration Utility...

38

RTM-ATCA-736X-DD Installation and Use (6806800L82C)

After a brief pause, your computer monitor displays the main menu of the BIOS Configuration
Utility.

Not all devices detected by the Configuration Utility can be controlled by the BIOS. Devices
such as tape drives and scanners require loading a device driver specific to that peripheral.
The BIOS Configuration Utility allows parameters to be modified for these devices.

3.5.2 BIOS Launch: Main Menu

When the boot BIOS Configuration Utility is launched, the main menu appears. This screen
displays a scrolling list of all the SAS controllers visible in the system, along with PCI Express
identification information. Use the arrow keys to select the RTM module you wish to modify,
and press ENTER to view and modify module properties.

RAID0 Two or more disks are grouped to provide a capacity

aggregation function. The advantage is the multiplicative
performance and capacity effect of four spindles working in
concert to store or retrieve data for the host.

RAID1 Two disks are grouped to provide a mirror function. By

definition, two drives our bounded such that every write to
one drive is mirrored on the second. If a failure occurs with
either drive, the data is still accessible through the surviving
drive.

RAID1E Three or more disks are grouped to provide a mirror function

using an algorithm extension to permit use with many drives.
If a failure occurs with any drive, data is still accessible through
the surviving drives.

3.6.2 BIOS, RAID Create New Array and Global Hot Spare

This menu enables the user to choose the disks that will comprise new RAID volumes or global
hot spares. Using the keyboard arrow keys, highlight the drives in the "RAID DISK" column, and
use the space bar to change to "Yes" or "No", "Yes" if the disk will be a member of the new array
and "No", if otherwise. Alternatively, highlight the drives in the "Hot Spr" (global hot spare)
column, and use the space bar to change to "Yes" or "No", "Yes" if the disk will be a member of
the global hot spare and "No", if otherwise. A maximum of two drives may be designated as a
global hot spare.

IPMI Functions List

5.1 Overview

The RTM-ATCA-736X-DD module includes an MMC device for reporting status information to
the ATCA blade. This MMC utilizes an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) which
will communicate with the AdvancedTCA. This MMC controls and monitors the following:

 Hot swap communication with the shelf manager

 Inlet air temperatures

 Voltage monitoring

 FRU information

 Drives OOS (out of service), IS (in service) and ATN (attention) LEDs

5.2 IPMI and Management Controller (IPMC)

Chapter 5

The design features an IPMI controller consisting of a 16-bit microcontroller, flash and SRAM.
The microcontroller uses I2C interface to communicate the shelf management controller
(ShMC), and sensors and MMC devices on AdvancedMC modules and the RTM, if installed.

 An I2C connection provides the communication path between the MMC and the

temperature sensor.

 Support hot swap operation as defined for AMC modules in PICMG AMC.0 specification

"Fail-safe flash update" - if interrupted at anytime, the MMC firmware is still able to respond
and re-flash.

 "I2C hang recovery" - able to detect and recover from an I2C bus hang.

5.3 Sensor Data Records

The MMC monitors the status of the module and provides this data so it can be read by the shelf
manager. Below are the SDRs that the RTM-ATCA-736X-DD module creates.

IPMI Functions List

5.4.1.1 Disk Eject, Deactivation Request to Power-off Disk

This command produces the same response as pressing one of the disk eject buttons on the
RTM panel.

Before ejecting a drive, the user should ensure the OS has released the drive, meaning it has
to be unused. This usually requires unmounting any file systems on it, and terminating any
raw partition use.

Upon completion of the OS removal preparations, the user may issue an IPMI raw command
and subsequently illuminate the disk FRU hot swap LED.

5.5 Communication Mechanisms for Disk Extraction

The RTM includes two disk eject request buttons located on the RTM panel. When pressed, the
behavior of the RTM is governed by the state of jumper identified as HDR500. The diagram
below shows the location of the eject buttons and header.

Figure 5-1 Locations of Disk Eject Jumper and Disk Eject Buttons

Disk eject behavior differs by the position of jumper HDR500.This table defines the operations
that take place when the drive eject request button is depressed.

(HDR500) Extraction Type Description

2-3 Standalone In this configuration, 30 seconds after pressing

the extract button, the RTM drive will grant
extraction without notifying the host.

5.5.1 Typical Module Insertion, All Modes

1. A drive begins in state 0x01. This is equivalent to having the module in hand and not
installed in the RTM. The status LED is off. Drive power is off.

2. Upon inserting the drive into an empty slot on the RTM, the state transitions to "0x02". The
status LED will turn amber. Drive power is still off in this state.

3. After a one second fixed timeout, the drive transitions to state “0x04”, active state. The
status LED will turn green. Drive power is active.

4. State "0x04" is the normal operation state. This state is the end of the insertion process.

5.5.2 Typical Module Slave Extraction Mode (Normal)

1. A drive begins in the active state 0x04. The status LED is green and drive power is ON.

2. When a push button is depressed or during a software shutdown request, the drive
transitions to state "0x08" Deactivation Request. The status LED will blink amber. Drive
power is on. A 30 second timer is started and a sensor is set for front ATCA blade to poll over
the IPMI-L bus. If the request is ignored and the ten second timer expires, the drive returns
to the active state 0x04.

66

3. Assuming the front blade approves the request, the RTM will receive a deactivation
approval command and the drive will transition to state 0x10, "inactive". The LED is amber.
Drive power is off. The drive is ready for extraction.

4. The operator physically removes the drive from the RTM. The drive transitions to state
"0x01", not installed. The status LED is off. Drive power is off.

MMC Firmware Upgrade Procedure

6.1 Overview

This chapter provides instructions for upgrading the MMC (Module Management Controller)
firmware on the RTM. The primary update mechanism utilizes the FCU (Firmware Upgrade
Command-line Utility) which is delivered with the BBS package for the host ATCA-736X board
family. Please consult the Programmer's Reference document for operation and use of the FCU.

Users may also upgrade the MMC firmware using the Pigeon Point System modified Ipmitool
described below.

6.2 The ipmitool Utility

An upgrade for the RTM-ATCA-736X-DD firmware can be performed remotely using a LAN
connection to the shelf manager. Firmware upgrades are accomplished with ipmitool, a
utility for managing IPMI-enabled devices. The utility is an open source derivative which is
modified by the shelf management supplier.

Chapter 6

The RTM-ATCA-736X-DD keeps a redundant copy of the firmware in the flash. Upgrades are
reliable and reversible. A failure in the download (error or interruption) does not affect the
IPMC's ability to continue using the "old" firmware or its ability to restart the download process.
The IPMC automatically restores the previous firmware if there is a problem running a new
code for the first time.

6.2.1 Synopsis

The minimum information to complete a firmware upgrade is documented here.

$ ipmitool [-I|-H|-T|-B|-t|-b] hpm upgrade <firmware_file>

$ ipmitool [-I|-H|-T|-B|-t|-b] hpm activate

6.2.2 Description

ipmitool lets you manage Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) functions of
either a local or remote system using IPMI v1.5 and IPMI v2.0. Capabilities include printing FRU
information, LAN configuration, sensor readings, and remote chassis power control.

MMC Firmware Upgrade Procedure

6.2.3 Options

Table 6-1 Ipmitool Options Relevant To Firmware Upgrades

Option Description

-I <interface> Selects IPMI interface to use. Supported interfaces that are compiled are
visible in the usage help output. Use LAN to designate Ethernet.

-H <address> Remote server address can be IP address or hostname. This option is
required for LAN interfaces.

-T <address> If updating an AMC, this is used to specify the address and Bus ID of the

-B <bus id>

-t <address> IPMB-L address of the target MMC or Carrier.

-b <bus id> Bus ID of the target MMC or Carrier (use "0" for carrier, "7" for AMC/RTM)

carrier that holds the AMC. These entries are not needed when updating
the carrier alone.

6.2.4 Command Syntax Examples

EXAMPLE 1. The following example shows the command sequence for firmware upgrade of an
AMC installed on a carrier:

$ ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.0.2 -T 0x82 -B 0 -t 0x74 -b 7 hpm upgrade hpm1fw.img
$ ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.0.2 -T 0x82 -B 0 -t 0x74 -b 7 hpm activate

Line 1 puts the new firmware in the flash device, where hpm1fw.img is the image

Line 2 is used to dynamically load and activate the new firmware.

EXAMPLE 2. The following example shows the command performing firmware upgrade on the
carrier itself:

$ ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.0.2 -t 0x82 -b 0 hpm upgrade hpm1fw.img
$ ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.0.2 -t 0x82 -b 0 hpm activate

Line 1 puts the new firmware in the flash device, where hpm1fw.img is the image.
