Safety Instructions

Before You Begin

Before handling the board, read the instructions and safety guidelines on the following pages to prevent damage to the product and to ensure your own personal safety. Refer to the "Advisories" section in the Preface for advisory conventions used in this user's guide, including the distinction between Warnings, Cautions, Important Notes, and Notes.
• Always use caution when handling/operating the computer. Only qualified, experienced, authorized electronics service personnel should access the interior of the computer. The power supplies produce high voltages and energy hazards, which can cause bodily harm.
• Use extreme caution when installing or removing components. Refer to the installation instructions in this user's guide for precautions and procedures. If you have any questions, please contact Kontron Technical Support
WARNING
High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit's power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off system power, turn off the power supply, and then disconnect the power cord from its source before removing the chassis cover. Turning off the system power switch does not remove power to components.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm system boards. Perform service at an ESD workstation and follow proper ESD procedure to reduce the risk of damage to components. Kontron strongly encourages you to follow proper ESD procedure, which can include wrist straps and smocks, when servicing equipment.
Take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component's antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in a computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure you are at an ESD workstation or properly grounded. This will discharge any static electricity that may have built up in your body.
• When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
• Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
• Handle components and boards with care. Don't touch the components or contacts on a board. Hold a board by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket.
• Do not handle or store system boards near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic, magnetic, or radioactive fields.

2.2 Ethernet Interfaces

2.2.1 Intel 82599ES Ethernet Controller

The AMC interface is implemented with one Intel dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller. The controller supporting two 10GbE SFP+ modules. See www.intel.com
Signal Path:
The two SFP+ connectors are on the faceplate.
for additional details on this controller.

2.3 MMC Boot Block

The MMC runs a firmware from its internal 256KB flash. It is programmed by an additional 8K boot block.I stores the active and previous MMC firmware in a dedicated flash memory. The boot block activates the MMC image and can fall back to the secondary image in case of problems.

2.4 Hardware Management Overview

The AMC Carrier communicates with the Module Management Controller (MMC) using the IPMB_L channel.
The memory subsystem of the MMC consists of an integrated flash memory to hold the MMC operation code and integrated RAM for data. The field replacement unit (FRU) inventory information is stored in the nonvolatile memory on an EEPROM and connected via a local I2C interface to the MMC microcontroller. It is possible to store up to 4 KBytes within the FRU inventory information. Event generation over IPMB-L bus to reach the AMC Carrier that forward it to the ShMc ensure that 'post-mortem' logging information is available even if the power of the AMC is disabled.
The onboard DC voltages and temperature are monitored by the MMC microcontroller device. The MMC will send an event to the Carrier if any of the thresholds are exceeded.
To increase the reliability of the AM4320 management subsystem, an external watchdog supervisor for the MMC is implemented. The MMC must strobe the external watchdog at two-second intervals to indicate continuity of operation of the board's management subsystem. If the MMC ceases to strobe the watchdog supervisor, the watchdog isolates the MMC from the IPMBs and resets the MMC. The watchdog supervisor does not reset the payload power the restart of the MMC will not affect the payload and will restore the previous Module Hot Swap state. The watchdog timeout expires after six seconds if strobes are not received. The external watchdog supervisor is not configurable and must not be confused with the IPMI v1.5 watchdog timer commands.
A boot block located on the microcontroller is responsible for managinge the MMC's fail safe firmware upgrade process. It can sotre two Firmware copies located on an external flash memory. If a failure occurs during firmware upgrade, the Boot Block will automatically rollback to the redundant MMC firmware image.

2.4.1 Sensor Data Record (SDR)

Every sensor on the baseboard 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. SDR also contain the configuration of a specific sensor such as threshold/hysteresis and event generation capabilities that specify sensor behavior. Some fields of the sensor SDR are configurable through IPMI v1.5 commands and are set to built-in initial values. Finally one field which is the sensor owner must reflect the module addresses that allow the AMC Carrier to identify the owner of the SDR when it is scanned by the module management controller and merged within the AMC Carrier Device SDR repository.
From an IPMI perspective, the AM4320 management controller is set up as a satellite management controller (SMC). It supports sensor devices, and uses the IPMI static sensor population feature of IPMI v1.5 to merge the hot swapped AMC sensor with the carrier board sensors population. The AMC Carrier is informed of AMC insertion events through the AMC Module Hot Swap sensor and a radial presence line on the AMC connector. All SDRs can be queried using Device SDR commands to the firmware. Module sensors that have been implemented are listed the next section.

2.4.2.1 IPMB-L Link Sensor
The AM4320 has an IPMB-L links to communicate with the AMC Carrier and other devices on the IPMB-0 bus. The MMC monitors the bus for any link failure and sends a bus failure event to the AMC Carrier when the recovery occurs.

Page 21
2.4.2.2 Module Hot Swap
The hot-swap event message conveys the current state of the module, the previous state, and a cause of the state change as determined by the MMC. Refer to AMC.0 R2.0 Specifications for further details on module hot-swap states.

2.4.3 Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) Information

The FRU Information provides inventory data about the boards where the FRU Information Device is located. The part number or version number can be read through software.
FRU information in the AM4320 includes data describing the AM4320 board as per the AMC.0 R2.0 specification. This information is retrieved by the Carrier, enabling reporting of board-specific information through a standardized mechanism.
Following are the definitions for the multirecord implemented by the firmware as part of Module data.

2.4.4 E-Keying

E-Keying has been defined in the AMC.0 R2.0 Specification to prevent module damage, prevent misoperation, and verify bay connection compatibility. The FRU data contains the AMC point-to-point connectivity record as described in Section 3.9.2 of the AMC.0 R2.0 specification.
The Set/Get AMC Port State IPMI commands defined by the AMC.0 specification are used for either granting or rejecting the E-keys.

2.4.5 MMC Firmware Code

MMC firmware code is organized into boot code and operational code, both of which are stored in a flash module. Upon an MMC reset, the MMC executes the boot code and performs the following:
1 Self-test to verify the status of its hardware and memory.
2 Performs a checksum of the operational code.
3 Communicates with the Boot Block in order to inform the MMC watchdog that the actual MMC firmware is
suitable for execution.
Upon successful verification of the operational code checksum, the firmware will jump to the operational code.

2.4.6 Firmware Upgrade Procedure

The board’s designed to support upgrade via HPM commands. Always follow Kontron documentation for all your upgrade. The instructions are provided with any new software upgrade package.
Upgrades have been designed to be performed without payload impact.

2.4.7 Hot-Swap Process

The AM4320 AMC has the ability to be hot-swapped in and out of an AMC Carrier/Chassis. The onboard MMC manages the AMC's power-up and power-down transitions. The list below illustrates this process for a power­down request.
1 Ejector latch is opened. HOT_SWAP_PB# assertion. MMC firmware detects the assertion of this signal.
2 MMC sends "Module Handle Open" event message to AMC Carrier. The corresponding M state of AMC
moves from M4-> M5.
3 AMC moves from M5 -> M6 if the ShMC grants the request and then sends the FRU Control requesting
quiesced state to the AMC.
4 The firmware deasserts payload power and sends "Module Quiesced" event message to the AMC where it
transitions from M6 to M1 state.
