1 ATCA-S201 Overview
The Emerson ATCA-S201 is an ATCA carrier blade that supplies multi-protocol IP storage
services to the chassis Zone-2 backplane using Ethernet connections. The ATCA-S201
virtualizes capacity of AMC SAS/SATA disks and creates multiple logical volumes which are
mapped as iSCSI, NFS or SMB targets. Using access control lists, ATCA server blades are
given authorization to connect with virtualized volumes via 10 GbE fabric or 1GbE base
connections.
The ATCA-S201 carrier can accommodate up to four AMC disk modules. Additional disks
may be added using an Advanced ARTM which adheres to the Advanced RTM zone-3
connector pin out.
Users may also deploy the ATCA-S201 to realize gateway functions with external equipment
including SAS and/or Fiber channel (FC) storage area networks (SANs). For example,
populate with an AMC 4 Gb FC controller modules, and establish gateway services between
LUN volumes in the FC data center and the ATCA GbE network.

2 ATCA-S201 Installation
This chapter contains the procedures for installing and removing the ATCA-S201 10GbE RAID
storage services blade.
2.1 Installation and removal of the ATCA carrier blade
The ATCA-S201 10GbE RAID storage services blade can be installed into an ATCA
shelf (chassis) with a midplane made for front and rear board installations.
2.2 Important information about your chassis
The Chassis backplane often designates certain slots as hub slots and the others as
general purpose node slots. Be certain to select a general purpose node slot for
installation. If this installation includes a companion advanced rear transition
module (ARTM), install the ARTM first. These back-to-back slots have cut-outs that
permit the front carrier board to pass signals to the ARTM via the Zone-3 connector
complex.
Before installing the blade module, verify the module’s part number to ensure that
the correct module is being installed into the system. For information on identifying
the blade module, see Section 1.6 Part Number, Serial Number, and Address Labels.
2.3 Safety Statement
The ATCA-S201 is designed to comply with UL60950-1, and is intended to be used
with similarly tested ATCA and AMC products that have a user’s guide detailing user
installation.
2.3.1 Observe maximum module current requirements
Be sure to validate the host chassis, and the host chassis meets the maximum
current requirements.
The ATCA-S201 includes a stacked power supply module with maximum rated
output of 210W of power. This represents a surplus of power vs. the expected
power consumption.

2.4 Before you install or Remove the ATCA carrier blade
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
Emerson 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 surface (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. Our suppliers take significant steps
to ensure there are no bent pins on the backplane or connector damage to the
boards prior to leaving our factory. 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 crushed pins, power off the system and contact
your local sales representative to schedule delivery of a replacement chassis
assembly.
2.5 Use Caution When installing or removing the ATCA carrier
When installing boards in an empty chassis, we recommend that you start
at the left of the card cage and work to the right. This helps to avoid mistakes in
matching slots with the intended carrier boards.
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
6806800H62B ATCA‐S201InstallationandUseGuide15
ATCA‐S201Installation
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
The ATCA module is electrically designed for hot swap within a fully powered
chassis. To facilitate hot swap, there is a blue LED on the front faceplate. This LED is
under software control of the IPMC managers.
The manager will illuminate the blue hot swap LED on the front faceplate when
software has stopped and it is safe to remove the advanced rear transition module.
If the blue-LED is not illuminated or blinking, it is not ready for removal. 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.
2.6 Connector Mechanical keying
The ATCA supports mechanical connector keying to help prevent installation with
incompatible components and RTM. The ATCA carrier board utilizes an A1/K1 key
that is set at for universal)
2.7 Verify Slot Usage
Prevent possible damage to module components by verifying the proper slot usage
for your configuration.
In most cases, electronic keying (E-keying) will prevent power on of a board into an
incompatible slot. However, as an extra precaution, you should be familiar with the
slot purpose.
2.8 Installing the ATCA carrier blade
This section describes a recommended procedure for installing the ATCA carrier
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.
1. Verify that you have taken the necessary antistatic precautions.
6806800H62B ATCA‐S201InstallationandUseGuide16
ATCA‐S201Installation
2. Go to the front of the system and choose an appropriate slot for the ATCA
carrier blade.
If also installing a companion advanced rear transition module (RTM), install it
before installing the ATCA node board. For example, if the ATCA node board is
planned for slot B4, first install the ARTM at the back of the system in slot B4.
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 and bottom of the module as shown in the
figure below.
Figure 4 Injector / Ejector latch and locking screw
5. Carefully align the edges of the module with the guides in the appropriate slot.
It might be helpful to 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.
6. Taking care to keep the module aligned in the guides, apply equal and steady
pressure and slide the module in until the injector/ejector mechanism engages
the retention bars.
7. Position your thumbs at the top and bottom of the ATCA carrier board;
simultaneously push in the module and rotate the injector/ejector mechanisms
inward to their closed position to seat and secure ATCA carrier blade. DO NOT
FORCE THE BOARD INTO THE SLOT.
8. Tighten the two module retention screws to secure the module into the shelf.
6806800H62B ATCA‐S201InstallationandUseGuide17
ATCA‐S201Installation
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 self-test, the blue hot swap LED will blink and then
turn off, indicating that the module has been placed in operation.
2.9 Removing the ATCA carrier blade
The ATCA-S201 ATCA carrier blade is hot-swappable and can be removed from a
powered chassis. 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. When the lower ejector handle is partially disengaged, a
mechanical switch will assert a signal to notify the IPMC to begin removal
preparations. The IPMC will blink the blue hot-swap LED as it transitions the module
to the appropriate power-down state. Upon completion and with permission from
the ShMC, The blue LED will illuminate steady ON. This is the only indication that
safe removal may commence. If the Blue LED is blinking or off, it is not ready for hot
plug.
To remove the ATCA module, follow these steps:
1. Loosen the locking screws on the rear transition module.
2. Rotate the lower ejector handle to the half way (HW) position. Do not remove
the module immediately.
3. If your host module running 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 de-activated.
4. Once the module has been de-activated, the Blue LED will illuminate steady.
Once this is done you can extract the module by pulling on the module handle.
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. When the blue LED is illuminated ON, removal of the ATCA carrier board may
proceed.
6. Carefully pull the module from the chassis.
7. If the card slot is to remain empty, install a filler panel in the slot.
2.10 Verifying the Hardware Installation
This section provides information to verify the installation of the ATCA-S201 10 GbE
RAID storage services module.

2.10.1 To Verify the Hardware Installation
1. After power is applied to the system, wait approximately 45 seconds for
firmware to initialize the board.
2. Inspect the LEDs on the front of the ATCA panel. When properly installed and
powered, the LEDs will illuminate as follows:
ATCA Hot Swap LED Off: Normal, default state
ATCA Health status Green-blinking: Healthy, OK
ATCA Out of service (OOS) Off: Normal, default state
3. (Optional). There are five Ethernet ports on the ATCA blade:
1 management (on RTM)
2 ATCA base ports (zone-2 connector)
2 ATCA fabric ports (zone-2 connector)
If DHCP is running on the network, it is possible to immediately ping the
Ethernet ports on the ATCA module. Open a command line window on any
node, and attempt to ping the ATCA blade.
ok ping 192.168.1.xxx
Note1: Ping requires that you determine the IP address assigned to the blade. The
carrier blades MAC address assignments are registered with the IANA public section
of the IEEE Standards OUI (Organizational unique identifier) database. The Ethernet
ports for the blade can be identified by finding the IP address corresponding to the
following MAC address assignments:
MAC address OUI
00-11-0D-xx-xx-xx (hex)

This chapter describes how to establish management communications with the ATCA-S201
for purposes including initial configuration, administration and monitoring the storage
services. A typical ATCA deployment will consist of an ATCA chassis, ATCA carrier blades,
Advanced RTM and shelf management controllers (ShMC). Administrators may choose from
the following physical access ports to conduct management communications:
Full configuration capabilities:
- RS232 on Advanced Rear transition module (ARTM)
- Ethernet on Advanced Rear transition module (1 GbE on ARTM)
- Any zone 2 Ethernet connection (base or fabric)
In addition to DHCP, the ARTM Ethernet port offers special protocol services such as TFTP to
recover corrupted flash or accidental erasure. All available management communications
methods are outlined in this chapter.
