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.

WARNING
All the managements infrastructures are present for hot-swap, but the user must
take the proper action to protect its data under the OS installed on the Front Board
(such as unmount a SAS drive)
1.6Interfacing with the Environment
1.6.1RTM (rear transition module)
The RTM806X is a single slot (6HP) AdvancedTCA Rear Transition Module. This module provides additional
connectivity for AT8060 CPU front board.
1.6.1.1SAS Feature
• Compliant to SAS 3G (RTM8063), SAS 6G (RTM8066)
• A JBOD unit can be use as additional external storage. This connection is done through a standard miniSAS cable. SAS signal integrity guaranteed over a two meters cable
1.6.1.2Serial Port Feature
• One (1) serial port available on the RTM face plate through one (1) RJ-45 connector
• RS-232 signals level at RTM face plate connector.
• Serial port speed capability is: 9.6kbits/s to 115.2kbits/s.
1.6.1.3FRU Data EEPROM
• FRU Data EEPROM size is 4Kbyte and it includes board identification and serial number.
1.6.1.4Hot Swap
As a Hot Swappable Intelligent Managed FRU, the RTM806X (FRU2) includes a Management Controller, the
AdvancedTCA Hot Swap indicator (Blue LED), and the standard AdvancedTCA handle switch.
4RTM806X
www.kontron.com
Each HDD is an independent FRU that is hot swappable. The HDD hotswap handle is used to raise an event to
the OS in order to hotswap the HDD without interrupting the front board operation.
1.6.1.5Insertion and Removal of the Managed FRUs
After insertion, the front board detects and activates the management components of the FRU. When the
handle is closed, the power budget and the e-keying negotiations start. Then, the front board's IPMC
activates the payload components of the FRU.
Opening the RTM handle switch on the RTM FRU will start the deactivation process, which either deactivates
the whole board (front board, RTM and RTMHDD) or only the RTM806X and its RTMHDDS, depending on a
configuration policy available through the CMOS configuration menu. See AT8060 User Manual's appropriate
BIOS section for details.
The operational state of the FRU is reported through the management subsystem’s FRU Hot Swap sensors.
The BLUE LED is 100% off when a FRU is operational and unsafe for extraction. An always on(100%) indicates
that a FRU can safely be extracted; transitional states are identified through blinking patterns. Additional
details on the standard FRU Hot Swap sensor and the BLUE LED usage can be found in the AdvancedTCA
specifications.
The RTM806X features two USB connectors on the faceplate.
USB features include:
•Capability to daisy chain as many as 127 devices per interface
•Fast bi-directional
•Isochronous/asynchronous interface
•480 MBPS transfer rate
•Standardization of peripheral interfaces into a single format
•Backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices
USB supports Plug and Play and hot-swapping operations (OS level). These features allow USB devices to be
automatically attached, configured and detached, without reboot or running setup.

2.3SAS
The SAS connections are only offered through the RTM. The controller is located on the front board and sends
the four signals from the PCH to the RTM through the RTM connectors. The SAS signals are accessible
through:
• Two HDD mounted on RTM806X
• Two external links through the mini-SAS connector
8RTM806X
www.kontron.com
2.4HD Hot-Swap Option
Kontron offers the possibility to add two Hot-Swap SAS hard drives on the RTM806X. Those hard drives are
located on the lower part of the RTM806X. The Hotswap infrastructure includes a Hot-Swap LED, Hot-Swap
handle, hard disk presence status and a thermal sensor. All of which are connected to the MMC. They are
managed by the IPMC and presented as a regular managed FRU to management subsystem.
2.5SFP
The RTM806X has two SFP modules connectors available on the RTM face plate. The SFP module signals come
from the front board 1000Base-KX interface through the zone 3 connector.
2.6MMC Boot Block
The MMC runs a firmware from its internal 256KB flash. It is programmed by an additional 8K boot block. It
keeps the last two copies of the MMC firmware in a dedicated flash memory. The boot block activates the MMC
image and can rollback a firmware update in case of problems.
2.7Hardware Management Overview
The RTM communicates with the front board using the IPMB-L channel. Kontron’s Intelligent RTM address on
the IPMB-L is fixed and has a value of 0xA6.
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 connected via a local I2C interface to the MMC. It is possible to store up to
4 KBytes within the FRU inventory information. Events are sent over the IPMB-L bus to the front board which
then forwards it to the ShMc to ensure that 'post-mortem' logging information is available even if the power
of the RTM is disabled.
The onboard DC voltages and temperatures are monitored by the MMC device. The MMC will send an event to
the front board if any of the thresholds are exceeded.
To increase the reliability of the RTM806X management subsystem, an external watchdog supervisor is
implemented for the MMC. The MMC must strobe the external watchdog at 500 μsec. intervals to ensure
continuity of operation of the board's management subsystem. If the MMC ceases to strobe the watchdog
supervisor, the watchdog resets the MMC. The watchdog timeout expires after one second if strobes are not
generated. The external watchdog supervisor is not configurable and must not be confused with the IPMI
v1.5 watchdog timer commands. This external watchdog of the MMC is implemented in a separate chip.
2.7.1Sensor Data Record (SDR)
Every sensor on the RTM is associated with a Sensor Data Record (SDR). Sensor Data Records contain
information about the sensors identification such as sensor’s type, sensor name, sensor unit. SDRs also
9RTM806X
www.kontron.com
contain the configuration of a specific sensor such as threshold/hystheresis, event generation capabilities
that specify sensor behaviour. Some fields of the sensor SDR are configurable through IPMI v1.5 command
and are set with built-in initial value. Finally, the field ‘sensor owner’ must reflect the module’s address
which allows a system management software to identify the owner of the SDR when it is scanned from the
front board IPMC and merged within the IPMC Device SDR repository.
From an IPMI perspective, the RTM806X management controller is set up as a satellite management
controller (SMC). It does support sensor devices, and uses the IPMI static sensor population feature of IPMI
v1.5 to merge the hotswap RTM sensor with the front board’s sensor population. The SHMC is informed about
an RTM insertion through the RTM Module Hot Swap sensor and a radial presence line on the RTM connector.
All SDRs can be queried using Device SDR commands to the firmware. Module sensors that have been
implemented are listed below.

2.7.4MMC 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-Set operational state that tells the boot block that the firmware is operating correctly.
Upon successful verification of the operational code checksum, the firmware will jump to the operational
code.
2.7.5MMC Firmware Upgrade Procedure
The upgrade procedure is compliant to PICMG HPM.1. MMC Firmware upgrades can be done by using IPMITOOL
from sourceforge
any IPMI interface without payload impact.
from the front board or remotely on the chassis. It has been designed to upgrade through
2.7.6Hot-Swap Process
The RTM806X has the ability to be hot-swapped in and out of the front board. The onboard MMC manages the
RTM's power-up and power-down transitions. The list below illustrates this process for power down 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 the front board. The corresponding M state of
the front board moves from M4-> M5.
3-The front board moves from M5 -> M6 if the SHMC grants the request. The front board IPMC sends the
FRU control requesting quiesced state to the RTM.
4-The firmware deasserts payload power and sends "Module Quiesced" event message to the front
board where it transitions from M6 to M1 state.
Note:
Depending on your BIOS configuration, a hot-swap process might turn off the front board. Please
refer to the BIOS section “Managed FRU Deactivate Policies” of the AT8060.
2.7.6.1Hot-Swap LED
The RTM806X and both RTM HDD support a blue Hot Swap LED mounted on the front panel. This LED indicates
when it is safe to remove the RTM from the front board or the hard disk from the RTM. The on-board MMC
drives this LED to indicate the hot-swap state. The following states are possible:
13RTM806X
www.kontron.com
Table 2-6:Hot-Swap LED Description
LED stateDescription
OFFM4 state; normal state when board is in operation.
ONM1 state; ready for hot swap.
Short blinkM5 state; deactivation request
Long blinkM2 state; activation request.
When the RTM latch is disengaged from the faceplate, the hot swap switch embedded in the PCB will assert a
"HOT_SWAP_PB#" signal to the MMC, and the MMC will send “Module Handle Open” event message to the
front board which moves from the M4 state to the M5 state. At the M5 state, the front board will ask the SHMC
(or Shelf Manager) for permission to move the RTM to the M6 state. Then the IPMC of the front board, through
IPMB-L, will set the RTM/HDD Hot Swap LED to indicate this state with a short blink. Once permission is
received from the SHMC or higher-level software, the front board will move to the M6 state.
The SHMC or higher level software can reject the request to move to the M6 state. If this occurs, the RTM/HDD
will returns the Hot Swap LED to a solid off condition, indicating that the RTM has returned to M4 state.
If the RTM/HDD reaches the M6 state through an extraction request through the RTM/HDD handle latch, the
MMC communicates to the front board that the module must discontinue operation in preparation for
removal. The Hot Swap LED continues to flash during this preparation time, just like it does at the M5 state.
When main RTM/HDD payload power is successfully removed from the RTM/HDD slot, the Hot Swap LED
remains lit, indicating it is safe to remove the RTM from the chassis or the hard disk from the RTM.
Refer to the AT8060 manual for information on "Managed FRU Deactivation Policies" affecting the FRU
deactivation process.
2.8Face Plate Indicators
Only LED1 and LED2 can be overriden with standard PICMG LED APIs.
2.8.1Hot Swap LED (LED0)
The Blue / Hot Swap LED indicates the hot swap status of the RTM. The LED is ON when it is safe to remove the
RTM from the slot. During normal operation, this LED is OFF.
2.8.2Out Of Service (LED1)
The AdvancedTCA LED1 is red or amber and indicates an Out-of-Service (OOS) condition. During normal
operation, the OOS LED is OFF. This LED is ON during firmware upgrade and is user configurable if needed by a
customer application.

2.8.3Healthy LED (LED2)
The AdvancedTCA LED2 is green or amber and indicates a healthy condition. The healthy LED indicates if the
blade is powered up and all voltages and temperatures are within specifications. During normal operation,
this LED is ON (green). This LED is also ON (amber) when one of the RTM806X voltage or temperature fails.
2.8.4RTM HDD 1 and 2 Hot Swap LED
The Blue / Hot Swap LED indicates the hot swap status of the RTMDISK. The LED is ON when it is safe to remove
the RTMDISK from the RTM. During normal operation, this LED is OFF.

3. Hot Swap and Installation
3.1RTM Hot Swap and Installation
Because of the high-density pinout of the hard-metric connector, some precautions must be taken when
connecting or disconnecting a RTM to/from an AT8060:
1- Rail guides must be installed on the enclosure to slide the RTM to the AT8060.
2- Do not force the RTM if there is mechanical resistance while inserting it.
3- Screw the faceplate to the enclosure to firmly attach the RTM to its enclosure.
4- Use extractor handles to disconnect and extract the RTM from its enclosure.
WARNING
Always use a grounding wrist wrap before installing or removing the board from a
chassis.
3.1.1Installing the RTM in the chassis
To install the RTM:
1- Remove the filler panel of the slot.
2- Ensure the RTM is configured properly.
3- Carefully align the PCB edges at the bottom and top card guide.
4- Insert the RTM in the system until it makes contact with the CPU board.
5- Using the ejector handles, engage the RTM in the CPU board connectors until the ejectors are
locked.
6- Fasten screws at the top and bottom of the faceplate.
3.1.2Removing the RTM from the chassis
To remove the RTM:
1- Unscrew the top and the bottom screw of the faceplate.
2- Unlock the upper handle latch.
3- Wait until the blue LED is fully ON, this mean that the hot swap sequence is ready for RTM removal.
4- Use the ejector to disengage the RTM from the CPU board.
5- Pull the RTM out of the chassis.

3.2RTM HDD Hot Swap and Installation
3.2.1Installing the Hot Swap RTMHDD
To install the RTMHDD:
1- Make sure the RTM is secured in place, i.e. both thumbscrews are screwed into the chassis.
2- Carefully engage the RTMHDD into the guide. Push it until it fully mates with its connector. Secure
the hard disk handle to the locking position.
3- The HDD blue LED will start to blink to indicate that the hotswap process is started. It will turn off at
the end of the sequence.
3.2.2Removing the Hot Swap RTMHDD
To remove the RTMHDD:
1- Make sure the RTM is secured in place, i.e. both thumbscrews are screwed into the chassis.
2- Pull out the handle to unlock the RTMHDD
3- Wait for the blue LED to turn solid on (100% on).
