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 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.

3 RTM806X
Note:
In order to fit two 2.5'' SAS disks, the RTM806X is exceeding the RTM mechanical envelope defined by ATCA PICMG 3.0 specification, only in HDDs section.

1.5 Hot-Swap Capability

The RTM806X supports Full Hot Swap capability as per PICMG3.0R3.0. It can be removed from or installed in the system while it is on (without powering-down the system). Please refer to the PICMG3.0R3.0 specification for additional details.
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)

1.6 Interfacing with the Environment

1.6.1 RTM (rear transition module)

The RTM806X is a single slot (6HP) AdvancedTCA Rear Transition Module. This module provides additional connectivity for AT8060 CPU front board.
1.6.1.1 SAS 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
1.6.1.2 Serial 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.
1.6.1.3 FRU Data EEPROM
• FRU Data EEPROM size is 4Kbyte and it includes board identification and serial number.
1.6.1.4 Hot 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.
4 RTM806X
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.
1.6.1.5 Insertion 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.

2.3 SAS

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
8 RTM806X

2.4 HD 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.

2.5 SFP

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.

2.6 MMC 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.

2.7 Hardware 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.

2.7.1 Sensor 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
9 RTM806X
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.

2.7.4 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-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.

2.7.5 MMC 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

2.7.6 Hot-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.
2.7.6.1 Hot-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:
13 RTM806X
Table 2-6:Hot-Swap LED Description
LED state Description
OFF M4 state; normal state when board is in operation.
ON M1 state; ready for hot swap.
Short blink M5 state; deactivation request
Long blink M2 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.

2.8 Face Plate Indicators

Only LED1 and LED2 can be overriden with standard PICMG LED APIs.

2.8.1 Hot Swap LED (LED0)
