When Working Inside a Computer

Before taking covers off a computer, perform the following steps:

• Turn off the computer and any peripherals.

• Disconnect the computer and peripherals from power sources or subsystems to prevent electric shock
or system board damage. This does not apply to when hot-swapping parts.

• Disconnect telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.

In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:

• To help avoid possible damage to system boards, wait five seconds after turning off the computer be­fore removing a component, removing a system board, or disconnecting a peripheral device from the
computer.

• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself.
Some cables have a connector with locking tabs. If you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on
the locking tabs before disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly
aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before connecting a cable, make sure both connec­tors are correctly oriented and aligned.

and the MMC (Module Management Controller).

The FWUM controls the MMC firmware update. Two EEPROM banks are connected to the FWUM, one for the old
firmware image and one for the new image. During an update, the new firmware image will be programmed
in one of the two EEPROMs. This new image is then programmed into the MMC under control of the FWUM. If
the MMC does not start correctly with the new image, the old image of the other EEPROM will be programmed
in the MMC.

2.3 Board Sensors

The Management Controller includes many sensors for voltage or temperature monitoring and various others
for pass/fail type signal monitoring.

Every sensor is associated with a Sensor Data Record (SDR). Sensor Data Records contain information about
the sensors identification such as sensor type, sensor name, sensor unit. SDRs also contain the configura­tion of a specific sensor such as thresholds, hysteresis, event generation capabilities, etc. that specify the
sensor’s behavior. Some fields of the sensor SDR are configurable through IPMI v1.5 command and are set to
a built-in initial value.

Module sensors that have been implemented are listed in the sensor list below.

2.3.1 Sensor List

The sensor number is the number which identifies the sensor e.g. when using the IPMI command “Get Sensor
Reading”. Please note that ‘ipmitool’ accepts sensor numbers in decimal (e.g. ‘10’) or hexadecimal (e.g.
‘0xa’) notation.

Please note that the IPMI tool ‘ipmitool’ displays for command ‘ipmitool sdr list’ the contents of the sensor
data record repository (SDRR) of the whole rack if the SDRR is generated. The generation of the SDRR has
always to be done new after adding or subtracting any board to or from the rack.

For OEM (Kontron) specific sensor types and reading types in the following table, please refer to the next
chapter.

2.4 Board FRU Information

This FRU information contains the IPMI defined Board and Product Information areas that hold the part
number and serial number of the board and the Multirecord Information Area that contains the PICMG
defined Point to Point Information records.

The Internal Use Area is preallocated to 256 bytes and is free for customer use. This FRU information
responds to FRU ID #0, which is the ID for the MMC.

2.4.1 Structure and Functionality

The Management Controller provides 4 kB non-volatile storage space for FRU information.

Full low level access to read or write a module’s FRU Information is provided by regular IPMI FRU Device com­mands. Please be careful when writing FRU information directly using standard IPMI commands because
there is no write protection. Damaging the FRU Information e.g. may confuse a shelf management software
which uses the FRU data.

Installation

3. Installation

The AM4311 has been designed for easy installation. However, the following standard precautions, installa­tion procedures and general information must be observed to ensure proper installation and to preclude
damage to the board, other system components, or injury to personnel.

3.1 Safety Requirements

The following safety precautions must be observed when installing or operating the AM4311. Kontron
assumes no responsibility for any damage resulting from failure to comply with these requirements.

WARNING

MCH modules require, by design, a considerable amount of force in
order to (dis)engage the module from/in the MicroTCA™ backplane con­nector. For this reason, when inserting or extracting the module, apply
only as much force as required to preclude damage to either the mod­ule’s handle or the front panel.

DO NOT push on the module handle to seat the module in the backplane
connector. Do not use the module handle as a grip to handle the board
outside of the chassis slot.

Use of excessive force, bending or rotation of the module handle will
result in damage to the handle or the module’s locking mechanism.
Kontron disclaims all liability for damage to the module or the system
as a result of failure to comply with this warning.

ESD Equipment

This AMC board contains electrostatically sensitive devices. Please observe the nec­essary precautions to avoid damage to your board:

• Discharge your clothing before touching the assembly. Tools must be dis­charged before use.

• Do not touch components, connector-pins or traces.

• If working at an anti-static workbench with professional discharging equip­ment, please do not omit to use it.

WARNING

This product has gold conductive fingers which are susceptible to con­tamination. Take care not to touch the gold conductive fingers of the
AMC Card-edge connector when handling the board.

Failure to comply with the instruction above may cause damage to the
board or result in improper system operation.

WARNING

Be careful when inserting or removing the AM4311. The SFP cages have
sharp edges which might lead to injuries.

Page 29 AM4311 User Guide

Caution, Laser Light!

Laser light from fiber-optic transmission cables and components can damage your
eyes. The laser components plugged into the switch are Class 1 laser components.
Class 1 laser is considered incapable of producing damaging radiation levels during
normal operation or maintenance.

To avoid damaging your eyes and to continue safe operation in case of abnormal cir­cumstances:

• Never look directly into the outlets of fiber-optic transmission components or fi­ber-optic cables with unprotected eyes.

• Never allow fiber-optic transmission path to operate until all the connections
have been made.

• Always fit protective plugs to any unused ports of the switch.

3.2 Module Handle Positions

Installation

At the front panel, the AM4311 provides a module handle for module extraction for securing the module in
the chassis and actuating the hot swap switch.

The module handle supports a three-position operation.

Table 3-1: Module Handle Positions

Module Handle Position Function

Locked When the AM4311 is installed, the module handle is pushed in the

“Locked” position and the following actions result:

• The module is locked in the chassis

• The hot swap switch is actuated

Hot Swap When an extraction process of the AM4311 is initiated, the mod-

ule handle is pulled in the “Hot Swap” position and the following
actions result:

• The module is locked in the chassis

• The hot swap switch is deactuated

Unlocked When the module handle is pulled to the “Unlocked” position, the

AM4311 can be fully extracted and the following actions result:

• The module is unlocked in the chassis

• The hot swap switch is deactuated

Installation

Note...

For normal operation, the module handle must be in the “Locked” position

3.3 Hot Swap Procedures

The AM4311 is designed for hot swap operation. Hot swapping allows the coordinated insertion and extrac­tion of modules without disrupting other operational elements within the system.

The procedures contained in this section are also applicable for “non-operating systems” with the exception
of indications and functions which require power to be applied.

3.3.1 Hot Swap Insertion

To insert the MCH module proceed as follows:

1. Ensure that the safety requirements indicated in Section 3.1 are observed.

WARNING

Failure to comply with the instruction above may cause damage to
the board or result in improper system operation.

Page 31 AM4311 User Guide

Installation

2. Ensure that the module is properly configured for operation in accordance with the application require­ments before installation.

WARNING

Care must be taken when applying the procedures below to ensure
that neither the AM4311 nor other system boards are physically dam­aged by the application of these procedures.

3. Ensure that the module handle is in the “Unlocked” position.

4. Using the front panel as a grip, carefully insert the module into the slot designated by the application
requirements until it makes contact with the backplane connector.

5. Apply pressure to the front panel until the module is properly seated in the backplane connector. This
may require a considerable amount of force. Apply pressure only to the front panel, not the module
handle. During seating in the connector, there is a noticeable “snapping” of the board into the connec­tor. When the board is seated it should be flush with the system front panel.

In the case of a running system, the following occurs:

• The BLUE HS LED turns on.

When the module is seated, the module management power is applied and the BLUE HS LED turns
on. (No payload power is applied at this time).

6. Connect all external interfacing cables to the module as required and ensure that they are properly se­cured.

7. Push the module handle in the “Locked” position. When the module handle is in the “Locked” position,
the module is locked and the hot swap switch is actuated.

In the case of a running system, the following occurs:

• The BLUE HS LED turns off.

The power module now enables the payload power for the MCH.

8. The MCH module is now operating.

3.3.2 Hot Swap Extraction

To extract the MCH module proceed as follows:

1. Ensure that the safety requirements indicated in Section 3.1 are observed.

2. Pull the module handle in the “Hot Swap” position.

When the module handle is in the “Hot Swap” position, the extraction process of the module is initi­ated and the following occurs:

• The BLUE HS LED displays short blinks. When the power module IPMI controller receives the handle

opened event, it sends a command to the MCMC with a request to perform short blinks of the BLUE
HS LED.
This indicates that the MCH is waiting to be deactivated.
Once the MCH receives the permission to continue the deactivation, all used ports are disabled.

• The BLUE HS LED turns on.

The Intelligent Platform Management Controller on the power module disables the module's pay­load power and the BLUE HS LED is turned on.
Now the module is ready to be safely extracted.

3. Pull the module handle in the “Unlocked” position.

Installation

4. Disconnect any interfacing cables that may be connected to the module.

5. Disengage the module from the backplane connector by pulling on the module handle. This may require
a considerable amount of force.

6. Using the front panel as a grip, remove the module from the chassis.

7. Dispose of the module as required.
