You can configure the SOL parameters via standard IPMI commands or via an open source tool called ipmitool. The ATCA-7490 supports two SOL channels, which are available at their base interfaces. However, only one SOL session is allowed at a time.
The ipmicmd is used on the local IPMC and the IP is configured. The ipmicmd is part of the open IPMI package provided in BBS. For more details about BBS, refer to Basic Blade Services Software on ATCA-7490 Programmer’s Reference manual. Sample Procedure To set the IP address: 1.
1. Download the ipmitool tar file from http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net to your blade. 2. Extract the source code. prompt>tar -xjvf ipmitool-<version>.tar.bz2 3. Go to the directory where ipmitool is extracted. prompt>cd <path>/ipmitool-<version> 4. Build the ipmitool. prompt>./configure && make && make install ATCA-7490 Installation and Use (6806800U11F)

Also, the boot loader validates new IPMI firmware images. Provided IPMI controller can power up successfully, the current image is made active and the previously active image is made backup. In case power-up fails, the boot loader will automatically recover from crisis and boots from the image. ATCA-7490 Installation and Use (6806800U11F)
Instead the blade can be power-cycled gracefully to activate the new firmware. A payload cold reset is not enough to execute a new FPGA component. In this particular case a power cycle is required. ATCA-7490 Installation and Use (6806800U11F)
9.2.1.4 BIOS Component The ATCA-7490 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"...

This sensor is used to monitor the last payload reset cause (hard reset, front panel reset or any other reset). The IPMC evaluates the Reset Cause Register within the Glue Logic FPGA. For more information refer to Table "ATCA-7490 Specific Sensors" on page 322. 9.3.7 Voltage and Temperature Sensor There is a selection of voltage and temperature sensors at the front blade.
For more information, see Table 5-49. For all possible failing states and their coding, see Table 5-50. When the board is powered via switch SW100.1, the debug mode is enabled, where some timeouts are disabled. ATCA-7490 Installation and Use (6806800U11F)
Master-Only I2CU - Verifies that all expected devices attached to the master-only I2C bus are accessible.

ATCA-7490 Installation and Use (6806800U11F)
Configuration on page 286. FRU Inventory The ATCA-7490 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 Reset and Power Domain The ATCA-7490 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-7490 Installation and Use (6806800U11F)
9.11 Serial Line Selection The ATCA-7490 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 263. 9.12.1 Boot Bank Sensor The ATCA-7490 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 337.

For details, see System Boot Options Commands on page 263. By default, Graceful Shutdown persistently value is set to 10 seconds. ATCA-7490 Installation and Use (6806800U11F)
9.15 Local System Event Log (SEL) The ATCA-7490 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.

If installing a different battery type other than what is mounted at board delivery may cause data loss. This is because other battery types may be specified for other environments or may have a shorter lifespan. Therefore, only use the same type of lithium battery as is already installed.

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 according to the "positive" and "negative" signs. ATCA-7490 Installation and Use (6806800U11F)

This section identifies the type, purpose, and procedures to declassify (erase or reinitialize) the non-volatile memory devices to be found on the ATCA-7490 processor card. Users of the procedure are cautioned to verify that the information provided is accurate for its intended use.
B.1.1 SPI Flash - Processor The ATCA-7490 has two 64MB SPI Flash banks that the CPU uses to store the active and standby BIOS images. The flash device attached to the SPI interface of the Host Bridge requires a special algorithm to access the flash.

B.1.2 SPI Flash - IPMC The ATCA-7490 has a Renesas Board Management Controller which contains 128KB of flash split into two different 64KB banks and is used to program the BMC micro-controller. The flash is divided to support an active and a standby image. As with the other processor flash device, it requires a special algorithm to access the flash.
Linux. It can store configuration data into an area of the IPMC SPI Flash which is then read during the booting of the ATCA-7490 by the IPMI Base Management Controller and loads those values into memory that is used by the BIOS. The hpmcmd command is be available under BBS for the ATCA-7490, if it is not, ask your local Artesyn Sales team for a copy of the utility.
Accidentally writing classified data to these devices is not possible. Declassification of this memory utilizes the fpga_upg utility included with the ATCA-7490 base software. As with the other devices listed previously, the Install_7490_Software.sh automatically will update the microcode sections of these...
0x9a 0 /tmp/fru_9a In this example the IPMC address of 0x9a assumes the ATCA-7490 is in physical slot 1 of an AXP1440. Be sure to verify the IPMI address of the board with the clia board command to verify the IPMI address for the board.
