This document describes how to install and to set up the
Promentum™ ATCA-2210 switch and control module
(SCM).
Obey ESD precautions
WARNING! Obey the electrostatic discharge (ESD)
procedures described at www.radisys.com when you install
the product.
Electrostatic discharge can cause permanent damage to
static-sensitive components in this product. Important ESD
procedures include:
Keep the product in its ESD shielding bag until a step
tells you to remove it.
Put on a grounded wrist strap before you move near or
touch the product.
Install the product only in a grounded work area.
Prepare for installation
The installation of the SCM requires the following:
An AdvancedTCA® (ATCA®) shelf, such as a RadiSys
ATCA-6000, ATCA-6006, ATCA-6014, or ATCA-6016
shelf
A 9-pin D-shell to RJ-45 serial port cable (shipped
with the SCM)
A standard crossover Ethernet cable
Adequate ventilation for the shelf
Install SFPs or XFPs on the SCM
The SCM comes with sockets for small form-factor
pluggable (SFP) and 10 Gigabit small form-factor
pluggable (XFP) transceiver modules. If SFPs and XFPs
are installed, they can provide external connections to the
Ethernet interfaces. The sockets are accessed from the
faceplate of the SCM.

Standard SCM configurations come without SFP or XFP transceivers installed. To protect the internal
components of the SCM, transceivers or filler plugs must be installed in all empty sockets:
The Base Ethernet configuration supports up to four SFP transceivers and one XFP transceiver, with
filler plugs installed in unused sockets.
The Fabric Ethernet configuration supports up to four XFP transceivers, with filler plugs installed in
unused sockets.
For a list of tested and qualified transceivers and filler plugs, see the Support section of the RadiSys
Web site at www.radisys.com.
Transceiver installation
SFP and XFP transceivers can be installed on the SCM
at any time, but RadiSys recommends performing the
installation before the SCM is installed in the shelf.
The illustration shows the correct orientation for
inserting an SFP transceiver. The SFP you use may vary
in appearance depending on manufacturer, but should
follow the same insertion guidelines. Use these same
guidelines when inserting XFP transceivers as well.
1. Follow ESD precautions and make sure you are
adequately grounded.
2. Remove the transceivers and the SCM from their
antistatic bags.
3. On the SCM’s faceplate, remove the filler plugs
from the sockets in which you are installing the
SFP or the XFP transceivers. For sockets not being
used, keep the filler plugs in place to protect the
internal components of the board.
4. Make sure the transceiver’s bale (the latch on the
cable side of the transceiver) is in the closed
position. This ensures that the transceiver will snap
into position when inserted into the socket.
5. How you insert the transceiver into the socket depends on the SCM’s orientation:
If the SCM is oriented vertically, insert the transceiver so the connector side is on the left.
If the SCM is oriented horizontally, insert the transceiver so the connector side is down.
6. Once inserted into the socket, carefully slide the transceiver until its connector is fully seated and
snaps into position.
7. Repeat the above steps for each transceiver being installed.
8. For transceivers with cable plugs installed on their cable side, keep the plugs in place until you are
ready to plug cables into the transceivers. The cable plugs protect the internal components of the
transceivers.

If correctly aligned, the edges of the SCM fit within the
narrow guide rails of the shelf.
W
ARNING! Do not force the SCM into the slot:
To avoid damage to connectors, make sure the rear
slot is either empty or contains a module compatible
with the SCM.
If the SCM does not slide easily, make sure you are
inserting the SCM into the correct slot and that it is
aligned properly.
5. Once the SCM is inserted all the way into the shelf, simultaneously close both ejector latches
inward. This seats the SCM’s connectors into the shelf’s backplane.
The hot-swap (H/S) LED light flashes until the SCM is fully powered. Once powered, the LED light
turns off.
If the LED remains solid blue or keeps flashing after the SCM is inserted, it indicates the installation
has failed. Please see the ATCA-2210 Switch and Control Module Reference for more information.
6. Secure the SCM in its slot by hand tightening the two fastening screws on each end of the
module’s front panel.
7. Repeat these steps if you are installing a second SCM in the remaining hub slot. Installing two
SCMs on the shelf allows for redundancy—a means of providing continuous system functionality
even if a failure occurs on one of the SCMs.

alarm connection on the SPM. For more information, see the ATCA-5010 Shelf Peripheral Module
Installation Guide and the ATCA-5010 Shelf Peripheral Module Reference.
COM Express module setup
SCMs with the optional Procelerant™ CE3100 COM Express module and SAS/SATA drive ship with a
factory-installed basic software package. Once the SCM is installed, and depending on your
organization’s needs, you may choose to change the BIOS setting or install an operating system and
drivers. See the ATCA-2210 Switch and Control Module Reference for instructions on performing such
procedures.
Where to go from here
See the ATCA-2210 Switch and Control Module Reference for detailed information on the SCM’s
electrical, mechanical, and environmental aspects. Software information is covered in the following
manuals: the Shelf Management Software Reference, the Software Guide for Management
Processors and General Purpose Computing Processors, and the Command Line Interface Reference.
For information on integrating the SCM into the platform, refer to the appropriate Platform Hardware
Reference for SYS-6000/6010, SYS-6006, or SYS-6014/6016.
After your system has been assembled, verify a link has been established between the components
and that traffic is being passed. The Base Ethernet and Fabric Ethernet switches can be checked by
pinging from component to component.
You should also set passwords for the root and the admin users, and create user accounts for those
who do not require administrative privileges. See the Software Guide for Management Processors and
General Purpose Computing Processors for more information.
