VX305x User's Guide - CA.DT.B25-7e
2. Carefully insert the board into the slot designated by the application requirements for the board until it makes
contact with the backplane connectors.
3. Using the ejector handle, engage the board with the backplane. When the ejector handle is locked, the board is
engaged.
4. Fasten the front panel retaining screws.
5. Connect all external interfacing cables to the board as required.
6. Ensure that the board and all required interfacing cables are properly secured.
The VX305x-SA is now ready for operation. For operation of the VX305x-SA, refer to appropriate VX305x-SA specific software, application, and system documentation.

2.6 Standard Removal Procedure

To remove the board from the chassis proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the safety requirements indicated in Section 2.1 are observed. Particular attention must be paid to the warning regarding the heat sink!

2.7 Battery Replacement

The lithium battery must be replaced with an identical battery or a battery type recommended by the manufacturer. The battery is used to run a time of day clock during the absence of power. Operation without the battery is possible but the date and time will not be retained in the absence of power. Alternatively, the VPX VBAT signal on P0 can provide a 3.3V voltage from the backplane to retain the date and time.
To replace the battery, proceed as follows:
4 Turn off the power.
4 Get the battery outside of its holder:
Figure 10: Battery Replacement on VX305x-SA Board
4 Place the new battery in the socket with the plus pole facing upwards.
Danger of explosion when replacing with wrong type of battery. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. The lithium battery type must be UL recog nized.
Do not dispose of lithium batteries in general trash collection. Dispose of the battery according to the local regulations dealing with the disposal of these special materials, (e.g. to the collecting points for dispose of batteries).
Reference of the battery used on the VX305x-SA: RENATA CR1220 The design of an electronic circuit powered by a component class battery requires the designer to consider two interacting paths that determine a battery’s life: consumption of active electrochemical components and thermal wear-out.

2.8 XMC Module Insertion / Removal Instructions

XMC slot option is a nonstandard option because of thermal impacts and product restrictions with XMC slot - on demand only.
4 Mating
These connectors should be mated straight. Align the connectors and when the keys start to enter the keyways, push at the approximate center of the connector into the mating connector until the face of the receptacle cover bottoms on the face of the plug. Because of the asymmetric keying, reverse mating is impossible (the key end of the receptacle cannot be inserted into the non-keyway end of the plug). Both connectors have a lead-in around the perimeter that will allow blind mating.

3 / Additional Board Features

3.1 The Backplane Power Supplies and their Monitoring

The VITA46.0 standard specifies the backplane power supplies VS1 as follows:
4 VS1: 12 V +/- 5 % inclusive of ripple ( 11.4 V to 12.6 V).
At Power On, the VPX VS1 system power supply ramp-up phase must be between 20 and 150 msec. VPX +3.3V_AUX power supply is optional.
To ensure a valid Power Off, VS1 should remain at 0V for at least one second.
The voltage sensor NCT7802Y by Nuvoton is programmed by BIOS to monitor VS1 and asserts the signal PLD_PECI_ALERT_n whenever either voltage gets out of its VITA 46 specified range. This alert is routed to a maskable interrupt in the cPLD. There is no setup or UEFI command to modify the thresholds value in BIOS.
A second voltage sensor, the LTC2913 by Linear Technology monitors these voltages with a 10 % tolerance. The thresholds are set by hardware on the board. Undervoltage and overvoltage conditions on VS1 are reported to the cPLD which in turn shuts down all VX305x-SA internal power supplies. There is no mechanism for masking these alerts.

3.2 RTC, Watchdog, Timers

3.2.1 Real-Time Clock (RTC)

Two Real Time Clocks (RTC) are available on the VX305x-SA: one is embedded in the PCH while the other is a standalone, high-precision, low-power component located on the integrated PCH SMBus (RV8564 by Micro Crystal). The latter is more precise and is powered when the board is off.
4 Standby power supplied to the RV8564 RTC
When the VX305x-SA is powered off, the RTC is powered either by the onboard battery or through the 3.3V_AUX rail or the VBAT rail on the VPX backplane.
To ensure data retention in the RV8564 RTC, VBAT must be set in the range [2.5V - 5.5V]. The maximum current drawn over the -40 °C/+85 °C temperature range is 500 nA (VBAT= 3 V, no I2C activity) or 550 nA (VBAT=5 V, no I2C activity).
The RTC present in the integrated PCH is never powered by the battery.
4 Internal Integrated PCH RTC
The integrated PCH RTC module provides a date and time keeping device with two banks of static RAM with 128 bytes each. The BIOS programs the RTC interrupt on Legacy IRQ8 that is never shared with other interrupts. It is clocked by an external 32.768 KHz oscillator with a parabolic coefficient of 0.4 ppm/°C² and a stability of +/-20 ppm at 25 °C. A 20ppm stability is equivalent to a 10 mn/year drift.
4 Standalone low-power RTC RV8564
The RV8564C2/B RTC by Micro Crystal features an internal oscillator, date and time keeping module with programmable alarm, timer and interrupt functions. It has an ultra low-power consumption in time keeping mode: 250nA, typical and 500 nA, maximum. Its stability is 20 ppm at 25 °C. It is connected to the integrated PCH SMBus
4 RTC management by BIOS and OS
At each startup, the BIOS retrieves the date and time information from the high-precision RV8564 RTC and copies it into the integrated PCH RTC. This is necessary since the integrated PCH RTC is not saved.
www.kontron.com // 25
VX305x User's Guide - CA.DT.B25-7e
Any update of date and time in the BIOS settings will be done both in integrated PCH RTC and RV8564 RTC.
Regarding the RTC management by the OS, the OS should use the high-precision RV8564 RTC driver. Failing to do so, the updates will be done only in integrated PCH RTC and will not be saved.
If no power is applied on the RV8564 RTC, the BIOS displays the BIOS build date and time instead of the current date and time.
4 Century flag
For compatibility reasons, the BIOS implements the century flag for the high-precision RTC as follows:
4 Century Flag C = 0 for 1900-1999 years
4 Century Flag C = 1 for 2000-2099 years.
The user should check that the OS driver implements the same convention.

3.2.2 CPLD Watchdog

In addition to the standard watchdog timer included in the integrated PCH, the cPLD implements a hardware watchdog timer that can be used by the operating software to monitor the normal operation of the system.
It is enabled by software, and once enabled must be restarted at regular intervals. If not, its expiration sets off an interrupt (IRQ) to the local processor, a board reset or a board power-cycle.
The watchdog has the following features:
4 timeout programmable from 1 to 511 clock periods, by steps of 2 periods
4 clock periods of 1s or 1ms
4 lock bit: when set, can only refresh (restart) the watchdog, but not change its settings
4 4 modes: timer, reset, interrupt or power-cycle
4 restart counter: can manage the remaining number of resets or power-cycles done by the watchdog before
giving-up.

3.7 GPIOs and GDISCRETE1

3.7.1 GPIOs

The VX305x-SA features 5 GPIOs managed by the CPLD. Refer to the Sofware Release Notes chapter 7.7 for further details on the GPIO driver.
4 3 GPIOs are available on P0 connector: GPIO3, GPIO4 and GPIO5. See section 4.3.1 “P0 Connector” page 50 for detailed
pinout.
4 2 GPIOs are available on P1 connector, GPIO1, GPIO2. See section 4.3.2 “P1 Connector” page 51 for detailed pinout.
GPIO electrical characteristics: The CPLD features LVCMOS33 cells (0-3V3), drive strength = 8 mA (sink or source), a clamp diode which is not 5V tolerant, an hysteresis of 250mV. The CPLD does not implement any internal pull-up or pull-down.
On the VX305x-SA board, a pull-up of 47 kOhms is connected to GPIO1 to GPIO5.
CAUTION: GPIOs are not 5V tolerant. Maximum voltage on GPIOs is 3.6 V. Absolute maximum vol tage is 3.75V and is not suitable for continuous operation. Appropriate voltage reduction (through resistor divider for instance) must be made to avoid permanent damage to the board.
The GPIOs share the same interrupt in the CPLD.

3.7.2 GDISCRETE1

GDISCRETE1 is a bussed open-collector GPIO defined by OpenVPX VITA 65 and available on P1. See section 4.3.2 “P1 Connector” page 51 for detailed pinout.
It is handled by the CPLD and buffered by a SN74LVC1G125 wired as an Open Collector to meet the electrical characte ristics defined in VITA 65.
It has a dedicated interrupt in the CPLD.

4.1.1 Serial Connector - COM

The VX305x-SA integrates two serial communication ports, COM1 and COM2 in PC parlance. COM1 and COM2 are available via the VPX P2 connector.
Default serial mode is simplified serial line mode Rx/Tx only, 115200 bauds.
COM1 is also available via the front panel connector.
4 COM1: EIA-232 or EIA-485 (simplified RX/TX) port on RJ-12 front panel connector or on the rear P2 connector
4 COM2: EIA-232 or EIA-485 (simplified RX/TX) port on the rear P2 connector
Each serial port is configurable via the CPLD as EIA-232 or EIA-485. Each port operates in full duplex mode. Fast slew rate is the default mode in EIA-485 mode.
The signaling level of EIA-485 is compatible with EIA-422, so full duplex EIA-485 may also be used for point-to-point communications with an EIA-422 serial port.
See section 4.3.3 “ P2 Connector” page 52 for more information on the serial lines wafer assignment on P2 connector.

5.3 Board Thermal Monitoring

To ensure long-term reliability of the VX305x-SA, onboard components must not operate beyond their specified maximum temperature. The most critical component on the VX305x-SA is the processor. Operating the VX305x-SA above the maximum operating limits will result in permanent damage to the board.
The VX305x-SA includes a temperature sensor (NCT7802Y by Nuvoton) managed by the CPLD through I2C. See Figure 16 “I2C Diagram” page 28.
Figure 26: Temperature Sensor Location
Temperature and Voltage Sensor Part
In addition to monitoring several internal power supplies, the NCT7802Y supports one on-die temperature sensor and can also get the processor temperature directly via the Intel® PECI3.0 interface. The NCT7802Y temperature and voltages monitoring data may be viewed with the Linux "sensors" command.
The NCT7802Y has 3 alarm outputs connected to the CPLD:
4 ALERT#: logged in CPLD to generate a maskable interrupt. The high threshold is set to +85°C by BIOS.
The low threshold is set to -45 °C. High threshold may be modified using the BIOS UEFI command Low threshold may be modified using the BIOS UEFI command VX305x-SA> « kpld -i2cw 2 50 37 1 <value> » The low threshold may also be used as the lower threshold for high temperature hysteresis.

5.4 CPU Thermal Monitoring

All thermal data in the following tables are initial measurements on available Xeon-D processor silicons. These data applies to standard VPX 3U 1'' slot profile.
See VX305x-SA Thermal design guide for more information.
4 CPU Temperature
For a given required air-flow and processor TDP (Thermal Design Power), the following curves show the maximum aut horized operating temperature, not to exceed the maximum specified junction temperature of the processor.
For Xeon-D processors, maximum case temperature (TcMAX) depends on processor part number.
These curves help also to choose customer operating points for a given 1 inch slot environment.
The TJMAX temperature is the temperature not to exceed, to avoid entering the throttling mode.
To ease Xeon D temperature measurements and make sure that processor temperature is within Intel specifications, Intel provide maximum Tcase temperatures (measured at the geometric center of the top surface of the intergated heatspreader).

5.5 Intel® Turbo Boost Technology

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is one of the many exciting features that Intel has built into latest-generation Intel® microarchitecture. It automatically allows processor cores to run faster than the base operating frequency if it's operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits.
Dynamically increasing performance
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 is activated when the Operating System (OS) requests the highest processor perfor mance state (P0).
The maximum frequency of Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 is dependent on the number of active cores. The amount of time the processor spends in the Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 state depends on the workload and operating environment.
Any of the following can set the upper limit of Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 on a given workload:
4 Number of active cores
4 Estimated current consumption
4 Estimated power consumption
4 Processor temperature
www.kontron.com // 61
VX305x User's Guide - CA.DT.B25-7e
When the processor is operating below these limits and the user's workload demands additional performance, the pro cessor frequency will dynamically increase until the upper limit of frequency is reached. Intel Turbo Boost Technology
2.0 has multiple algorithms operating in parallel to manage current, power, and temperature to maximize performance and energy efficiency.
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows the processor to operate at a power level that is higher than its rated upper power limit (TDP) for short durations to maximize performance.
Learn more about Intel Turbo Boost Technology: http://www.intel.com/technology/turboboost/
The Intel Turbo Boost is handled by the BIOS through the Advanced Power Management Configuration menu.
Refer to the AMI BIOS for VX6090 - User Reference Manual, section “IntelRCSetup Menu”.

Figure 34: VX305x-RCThermal Management Zone
Thermal Management Zone
4 Board Level Thermal Performance
The CPU core maximum junction temperature (Tj max) is the maximum temperature allowed before entering into throttling mode. Tj max is 104°C for the Intel Xeon-D1500 series processors.
This core temperature is accessible through the Linux sensors driver. Refer to the Release Notes for BSP (SD.DT.G53) for information about the "sensors" command, RC class specific features, and power management.
Due to the actual accuracy of the processor internal sensors, and to secure processor full-on mode, the maximum tempe rature recommended by Kontron to avoid throttling is not 104°C but 100°C.
The user can modify several parameters to optimize thermal performance:
4 Turbo mode: for a better control of thermal performance, it is advised to disable this mode.
4 Processor load: Kontron advises to keep some margin for real time behavior and stay within 80% of processor load.
4 Wedge lock temperature: this temperature depends on the cold plate temperature and on the board power
consumption. It can be measured by sensors placed in holes located on the sides of the thermal drain.
The following curves give the relationship between processor dissipation and board edge temperature to keep the core temperature below 100°C, depending on RC product configuration (CFG). Exceeding junction temperature will force the pro cessor to enter the throttling mode with reduced performance.
