The Sata interface is compliant to SATA 3Gb/s speed. BIOS ATCA-7475 provides a BIOS firmware that is stored in flash memory. It can be updated remotely via Ethernet or locally via operating system. Along with the BIOS and BIOS Setup program, the flash memory contains POST and Plug and Play support.
Alternatively to the CPU serial console, the IPMC serial console is also available on the face plate serial connector. It can be selected via specific IPMI OEM command. ATCA-7475 Installation and Use (6806800S38D)
5.14 Front Board Face Plate The blade's face plate provides the following interfaces and control elements: Two USB 2.0 ports Two 10/1000/1000Base-T Ethernet ports ATCA-7475 Installation and Use (6806800S38D)
5.15 Faceplate Serial Interfaces The ATCA-7475 has two serial interfaces. They are fully compliant to industry standard 16550 asynchronous communication controllers. The two Serial line interfaces #1 and #2 are integrated in the Intel DH8900CC PCH and routed to the onboard FPGA, which distributes them to either Faceplate, RTM, or IPMC for SOL.
The IPMC Debug Console IF connection is normally routed to a 3-pin onboard header (RS232) The IPMC Debug monitor terminal output can also be routed to the Faceplate. The IPMC Debug Console is also available when the ATCA-7475 Payload is powered off. Table 5-3 IPMC Debug Console Destination Selection...
CPUs of the ATCA-7475. Each Intel DH8920CC connects with a x16 PCIe Gen2 interface to each Xeon E5-2600 V2 CPU on the ATCA-7475. The purpose of the Acceleration module is to provide two additional Next Generation Communications Platform Controller hubs with their respective QuickAssist technology coprocessors.
Additionally both CPUs provide 2x SMBuses to connect to the SPD PROMs of the DDR3 memory system. Two I2C Bus Level Translators of type PCA9517A are used for voltage level translation to buffer the SMBus portion going to the SPD PROMs on the DIMM. ATCA-7475 Installation and Use (6806800S38D)

11.1 HPM.1 Firmware Upgrade 11.1.1 Overview The primary update mechanism for the ATCA-7475 blades is the FCU tool which is delivered with the BBS package for the board. However, the ATCA-7475 board family also supports upgrade of the firmware with the HPM.1 specification. Upgradeable components of the board include the BIOS flash, FPGA flash, and IPMC flash.
The IPMI over LAN interface uses the BASE Ethernet controller to do firmware upgrades. The interface has to be configured before the first use. Configuring this interface is described in Chapter 7, Configuring SOL Parameters, on page 196. Example: ATCA-7475 Installation and Use (6806800S38D)
If the active firmware failed or is invalid, the Boot loader will switch to the backup partition. When switching, the partitions change their roles. Switching of the partitions also takes place when the firmware is upgraded and activated using the HPM.1 upgrade procedure. ATCA-7475 Installation and Use (6806800S38D)
11.3 BIOS/FPGA Upgrade Both components (BIOS and FPGA) have two independent boot banks. The switching of this boot banks is not supported by HPM commands of ATCA-7475. Both BIOS/FPGA boot banks can be updated with HPM.1. The BIOS/FPGA upgrade is not fully HPM.1 compatible due to the fact that payload update of this device must also be possible.
A power cycle is required after the BIOS/FPGA update. 11.4 Upgrade Package The HPM upgrade package for this release contains the following files: Table 11-1 HPM Upgrade Package Filename Description 9806822J10P_atca-747x-ipmc-all.hpm HPM-compatible upgrade image of the IPMC firmware and the Boot Loader ATCA-7475 Installation and Use (6806800S38D)

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.

Removing the battery with a screw driver may damage the PCB or the battery holder. To prevent this damage, do not use a screw driver to remove the battery from its holder. 2. Install the new battery following the "positive" and "negative" signs. ATCA-7475 Installation and Use (6806800S38D)
