5 Getting Started The aTCA-9710 has been designed for easy installation. However, the following standard precautions, installation procedures, and general information must be observed to ensure proper installation and to preclude damage to the board, other system components, or injury to personnel. 5.1 Safety Requirements The following safety precautions must be observed when installing or operating the aTCA9710.
5.2Installing and Removing the aTCA-9710 5.2.1 Installing the Blade Follow these steps to install the aTCA-9710 blade to the chassis. Step 1 Carefully align the board edges with the chassis guide rails and push the blade inwards.
Step 2 Check if the catch hooks and alignment pins at both ends of the module are correctly inserted into the proper openings. Push inwards on the handles until the blade is firmly seated in the chassis. (Do not force the handles if there is any abnormal resistance or it could damage the connectors and/or backplane.
Step 3 Push the ejector handles inwards until it is locked.
Step 4 Lock both ends of the captive screws.
5.2.2 Removing the Blade Follow these steps to remove the aTCA-9710 blade from the chassis. Step 1 Unlock both ends of the captive screws.
Step 2 Pinch the lever and latch together then pull outwards to release the ejector handles at both ends.
Step 3 Pull the blade outwards from the chassis until it is removed.
5.3 Firmware Update Procedure The aTCA-9710 supports firmware update (IPMC FW, BIOS, FRU) over various interfaces (LAN, KCS, serial interface or IPMB). Please follow the procedures listed below to update the IPMC firmware. Note: IPMB-0 will be disabled during the process of upgrading IPMC firmware. This is a limitation of the IPMC controller (SmartFusion A2F500) 5.3.
5.3.2 Update over KCS Step1: Prepare an aTCA-9710 with Linux system. Enter the following command to make sure the ipmi_si and ipmi_devintf modules are loaded before the IPMItool utility can be used. Step2: Put IPMItool and “target image” in the Linux system then enter the following command: Step3: Select “y” and wait until the string of “firmware update procedure successful” is displayed. To update other images (BIOS, FRU, etc), just replace the target image and the file name while typing command.
5.3.3 Update over LAN The following IPMItool command line parameters are used for communicating with the carrier IPMC via LAN: -I lan The parameter instructs the IPMItool utility to use the RMCP protocol for communicating with the IPMC. -H The parameter specifies the IP address of the IPMC. Please follow the step to update firmware: Step1: Prepare an external x86 PC and connect the target aTCA-9710 via BASE Interface. Put IPMItool and “target image” on the x86 PC with Linux system.

7 Serial Over LAN Serial Over LAN (SOL) is a remote management feature that allows the IPMC (Smart Fusion A2F500) to redirect the serial console from the blade via an IPMI session over the network with RMCP+ protocol. The aTCA-9710 supports SOL on the Base Interface which is powered by the Intel 82576 Gigabit Ethernet Controller.
Build the source code and install IPMItool: make make install Now your remote client is ready to connect to the target the aTCA-9710. Note: The install must be run with root permissions to overlay the existing IPMItool utility in /usr/local/bin. 7.3 Configure The Target aTCA-9710 7.3.1 BIOS Configuration You can refer to section 6.3.8/6.3.9 to enable Serial Port Console Redirection on COM0 Note: The aTCA-9710 supports SOL on COM0 only 7.3.
7.3.3 Linux System Setting Linux needs to be told to listen for logins on the serial port. This is done by adding the following line to /etc/inittab. Add the following line to the init configuration file /etc/inittab. s1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty –L ttyS1 115200 vt100 Now the target aTCA-9710 is ready for SOL connection. 7.
