9.2.1.4 BIOS Component The ATCA-7480 provides two SPI flashes for storing two redundant BIOS firmware images; one is called "Active", the other one is "Backup". Due to the fact that the "Active" SPI flash is routed to the Intel CPU always, the IPMC can perform HPM.1 specific firmware upgrades only to the "Backup"...

9.2.3 Firmware Upgrade Tool The primary update mechanism for the ATCA-7480 blade is the FCU tool, which is delivered with the BBS package for the blade. However, the ATCA-7480 blade family also supports upgrades with the ipmitool. Artesyn recommends to use the Pigeon Point System modified Ipmitool 1.8.13-pps2 or later versions.

Configuration on page 256. FRU Inventory The ATCA-7480 implements two intelligent FRUs (IPMC and MMC). Every FRU provides its own FRU information (serial, part, MAC addresses). Depending on the presence of a module, its FRU information is visible or not.
IPMI Feature Set The MAC addresses of a FRU are stored within the multi-record area of the FRU information. Artesyn Embedded Technologies has defined a MAC address multi-record for this purpose. For details, see MAC Address FRU OEM Records on page 310.

IPMI Feature Set Reset and Power Domain The ATCA-7480 provides the following FRU instances: FRU #0: front board management and switch FRU #1: RTM Each FRU instance can be reset separately. Power Configuration With respect to the product version, the maximum power consumption requested by the IPMC is different.
If you are reading from the storage area and you find any of these two values, your software should assume that no boot firmware options have previously been written to the storage area. ATCA-7480 Installation and Use (6806800T17A)
9.11 Serial Line Selection The ATCA-7480 provides two serial interfaces from payload. By default, the first is routed to the front connector and the second to the RTM. In addition, there is an IPMC debug interface, which can be routed either to the front or to the RTM (this function is just available if the RTM provides a serial connector at the front).
System Boot Options Commands on page 233. 9.12.1 Boot Bank Sensor The ATCA-7480 provides a Boot Bank Sensor, illustrating from which BIOS Boot Bank the boot firmware has last booted. For details, see Boot Bank Supervision Sensor on page 304.

The IPMI command, Set/Get System Boot Options together with the OEM parameter #98 can be used to specify the timeout for Graceful Shutdown persistently. For details, see System Boot Options Commands on page 233. By default, Graceful Shutdown persistently value is set to 10 seconds. ATCA-7480 Installation and Use (6806800T17A)
9.15 Local System Event Log (SEL) The ATCA-7480 IPMC supports a local SEL. The local SEL size is configured to hold 1K entries in a circular FIFO buffer. Once the circular buffer is full, the next SEL entry will overwrite the oldest SEL entry in the buffer.
Some blade variants contain an on-board battery. Its location is shown in the following figure. A battery-less variant based on SUPERCAP is available on demand. Figure A-1 Location of On-board Battery Battery/ Goldcap J11 DIMM 1 ZONE 1 ATCA-7480 Installation and Use (6806800T17A)

The battery provides data retention of seven years summing up all periods of actual data use. Artesyn Embedded Technologies therefore assumes that there is usually no need to replace the battery except, for example, in case of long-term spare part handling.
