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 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.

•When you want to remove the protective foil (if present), make sure you are properly grounded and
that you touch a metalic part of the board.

CAUTION

Removing the protective foil from the top and bottom cover might create static.
When you remove those protections, make sure you follow the proper ESD procedure.

1. Product Description

1.1 Product Overview

The AT8060 is a single width ATCA compliant processor blade. It implements Intel’s next generation Xeon
dual processors codename Sandybridge on Romley platform. The AT8060 uses the full bandwidth of the four
DDR3 memory channels with 4 VLP DDR3 Sockets per CPU. High speed interfaces such as dual 10GBase-KX4 in
the fabric interface can deliver maximum performance using the PCIe ports from the processors. Dual 8GT/s
QPI interfaces between both CPUs provide 40GByte/s/direction for a minimum latency on memory access and
CPU process.

The chipset, the Patsburg-B, is connected to the processors via a DMI2 interface and to various I/O
components.

Three Ethernet controllers from Intel are implemented to provide high speed interfaces in the fabric
interface (82599), the base interface (82576) and on both Board and RTM faceplates (Powerville).

Additional I/O interfaces can be added with RTM and AMC cards using the x8 PCIe Gen2 provided for each. 4
SAS2 interfaces are connected to RTM interace from the PCH for storage. The AT8060 operates in two power
level modes, a regular power mode up to 225W for NEBS-like operation and a High Power mode up to 350W
for higher-class chassis applications.

Product Description

1.5 Hot-Plug Capability

The AT8060 supports Full Hot Swap capability as per PICMG3.0 R3.0 for the board itself, the RTM module and
AMC bay. It can be removed from or installed in the system while it is on (without powering-down the
system). Please refer to the PICMG3.0 R3.0 specification for additional details about Hot Swap.

The AT8060 supports PCI-Express Hotplug on AMC B1 and RTM. The IPMC uses the standard PCI Express
Hotplug Controller on the CPU board allowing hot insertion and removal of an AMC or RTM module within the
OS.

1.6 Interfacing with the Environment

1.6.1 RTM (rear transition module)

The AT8060 supports different single slot (6HP) AdvancedTCA Rear Transition Modules: RTM8050 and
RTM806X. These modules provide additional connectivity for AT8060 CPU front blade.

1.6.1.1 Standard Compliance

• PICMG3.0 R3.0 - Advanced Telecommunication Computing Architecture

1.6.1.2 Serial Port Feature

• One serial port available on the RTM face plate through a RJ-45 connector.

5 AT8060

Product Description

www.kontron.com

• RS-232 signal levels at RTM face plate connector.

• Serial port speed capability is: 9.6kbits/s to 115.2kbits/s.

1.6.1.3 Debug Video Feature

A header is present on the RTM to connect a debug video cable. This interface is suitable for low rate video,
not for HD or intensive use. Video signals are VGA standard signals. Custom video cable available on demand,
please contact Technical Support.

1.6.1.4 Hot Swap

The RTM supports hot swapping by using the switch connected to the face plate lower ejector. This switch
indicates the coming hot swap action. The insertion of the RTM to a slot is always done over a non powered
connector. During the extraction procedure, the management power is disabled only when the RTM806X is
removed. This procedure meets the AdvancedTCA AMC behavior.

1.6.1.4.1 Inserting the RTM into the slot

The presence of the RTM is indicated by one signal. The front blade IPMC recognizes the RTM insertion when
the signal is low. After recognizing the RTM, the IPMC turns the blue LED ON and enables the management
power to the RTM. Once the IPMB-L link is working, the IPMC accesses the MMC to retrieve FRU data. After
knowing the type of RTM inserted, the IPMC negotiates with the shelf manager in order to activate the +12V
payload power.

After RTM local voltages ramp up, the front board IPMC informs the shelf manager there is a functional RTM
blade present.

1.6.1.4.2 Removing the RTM from the slot

The RTM_EJECT signal goes HIGH by opening the RTM lower ejector handle. This indicates to the front blade
IPMC that a hot swap action is going to take place. The IPMC then negotiates the removal with the System
manager and if it is granted, it proceeds with the removal process.

The IPMC proceeds to the deactivation by disabling ekey governed links, the IPMC then turns OFF the payload
+12V power. When it is safe to remove the RTM blade from the slot, the IPMC turns the Blue / Hot Swap LED
ON. Front Blade IPMC turns OFF the management power only when there is no RTM detected. (RTM806X
removed from the slot)

1.6.2 Advanced Mezzanine Card

The AT8060 has one AMC bay. Using a mezzanine allows to add storage or I/O not provided on board.

1.6.2.1 AMC Expansion

The AMC slot provides an AMC.1 type 4, AMC.3 SATA. This means that the following signaling are supported:

• PCI-Express Gen2 X8 on AMC ports 4-11

6 AT8060

www.kontron.com

• PCI-Express clock on FCLKA

• SATA on AMC port

BIOS Settings:

Advanced -> USB Configuration
Chipset -> South Bridge -> USB Configuration

2.4 USB Flash Module

The AT8060 supports up to two Solid State Drives. It is a NAND flash disk module with a USB 2.0 interface. The
modules are socketed on two 2x5 headers attached to the AT8060. They are available in many sizes and
accessible only when removing the top cover. By default the USB devices are used as booting devices.

Signal Path:

USB Flash Module Connector are available on J10 and J11. See section 3.4 for more details.

BIOS Settings:

Advanced --> USB Configuration
Boot --> BBS

Note:

During the installation of an OS on a HDD, the USB Flash Module must be deactivated. If the USB
Flash Module remains active, the Master Boot Record will be installed on it by default. This can not
be avoided and will cause the OS to be unable to boot from the HDD.

2.5 Serial ATA/Serial Attached SCSI

2.5.1 Serial Attached SCSI

The PCH's SAS ports 0-3 are available in the RTM connector. It supports SATA GEN1 (1.5Gb/s), GEN2 (3Gb/s),

2.8 Serial Interfaces

The AT8060 uses serial interfaces to manage the CPU, the only way to get visual information from the board
when used without a RTM806X. Serial ports are provided on the faceplate and on the RTM faceplate for
asynchronous serial communications. They are 16C550 high-speed UART compatible and support 16-byte
FIFO buffers for transfer rates from 9,6Kbps to 115,2Kbps.

Note:

Standard product uses a RJ-45 8 pins connector. RI (ring indicator) and DCD (data carrier detect)
signals are not available.
The pinout is a custom one, not the same as RS-232D TIA/EIA-561.

Signal Path:

COM1 is routed to a RJ45 on the frontplate or to the IPMC for SOL.
COM2 is routed to the RTM serial interface.

BIOS Settings:

Advanced -> Serial Port Console Redirection -> Console Redirection Settings (COM0 and COM1)

2.9 AMC Mezzanine

The AMC slot supports AMC.1 (PCIe) and AMC.3 (SAS/SATA) in addition to the AMC.0 base specification. The
AMC is hot swappable according to PICMG 3.0 Rev. 2.0 and supports mid-size AMC units.

One AMC site is available. Characteristics of the AMC are as follow:

•Type B+

•Supports mid-size single width mechanical format

•PCI-Express X8 (GEN2 2.5GTs or 5.0GTs) with reference clock on AMC FCLKA

•Fully compliant PCI-Express hot plug support

•SATA link to the PCH

•Compliant to AMC.0, AMC.1 and AMC.3

•50W maximum power budget

Note:

The thermal solution needs to be validated by the integrator when AMC Thermal Design power
exceeds 20W.

As per AMC.1 R2.0, the carrier board is required to provide PCIe 100MHz reference clock to the AMC on FCLKA.
However, modules are not required to use it. Kontron recommends using AMC modules that use the reference
clock on FCLKA. If the module makes its own reference clock, then the spread spectrum of PCI-Express clock
synthetizer will be disabled by e-keying; otherwise the behavior of the PCI-Express link will be erratic.

Note:

All electromagnetic compatibility testing has been done with spread spectrum. Disabling the spread
spectrum can complicate EMC.

The SATA interface on port 2 allows to use a SATA AMC storage mezzanine on the AT8060. AMC SATA electrical
path is properly designed for Hot Swap operation but special care must be taken to ensure proper un-mount
sequence within the operating system.

BIOS Settings:

Advanced --> SATA Configuration
Advanced --> Legacy Expansion ROM Configuration -> AMC Slot OpROM(s)
Chipset -> IOH Configuration -> AMC Port Link Speed
Server Mgmt -> Managed FRU Deactivate Policies

Software Usage:

AMC serial port is available on port 15.
AMC serial port GUID : 471C5D14-2AE7-42B9-A9B0-0628546B42CC

Note:

The maximum power budget is 50W for an Advanced Mezzanine Card.

2.10 FPGA

The FPGA has many functions. One of them is to act as a companion chip to the IPMC. The states of all the
critical signals controlled by the IPMC are memorized in the FPGA and are preserved while the IPMC firmware
is being updated.

The FPGA is a RAM-based chip that is preloaded from a separate flash memory at power-up. Two such flash
memory devices are provided; one that can only be programmed in factory and the other one that can be
updated in the field. The factory flash is selected by inserting jumper JP2 pins 3-4. Field updates require to
cycle the power of the board. The IPMI LED2 will blink amber if the factory flash is being used to signal a fail
safe configuration.

The FPGA update complies to PICMG HPM.1 specification and is remotely updatable via any IPMC channel.
