Chapter 2 Shelf Manager Hardware Overview The SAM1411 is compliant to PICMG 3.0 R3.0 (AdvancedTCA). It is equipped with a backplane connector and is plugged into a 2U slot. Figure 2-1 SAM1411 Block Diagram SAM1411 Installation and Use (6806800M91A)
The following interfaces are available: Three Ethernet interfaces Two redundancy interfaces (serial) Block transfer interface One diagnostic console interface (serial) 2.2.1 Ethernet Interfaces The shelf manager board has three Ethernet ports which are available concurrently. SAM1411 Installation and Use (6806800M91A)
AdvancedTCA shelf. 2.2.2 Redundancy Interfaces The SAM1411 uses a private, redundant, high-speed, full duplex serial connection for heartbeating and data replication between the two shelf manager boards. The redundancy interface is routed to the backplane via differential line LVDS transceivers. The physical interface of both channels are compliant with the PICMG 3.0 R3.0 (AdvancedTCA)
SAM1411 Control via IPMI Programmer’s Reference Guide. Power Supply The SAM1411 is powered by dual redundant +12 VDC feeds, one from each of the PEMs. This +12 VDC is derived from the -48 VDC feed to each PEM. Each of the two +12 V feeds are separately fused with a 2 A fuse.
2.4.1 Onboard and External Supply The SAM1411 has no provisions to switch off the power input. The board is powered when the power input to either PEM is in the operating range of -40.5 V to -72 V. An on-board DC/DC-converter supplies all onboard circuitry, and provides 3.3 V power supply to external circuits with a consumption of not more than 4.2 W.

Chapter 4 SAM1411 Installation Overview To install the SAM1411 into the AdvancedTCA system, follow these steps: 1. Unpack and inspect the board, see Unpacking and Inspecting the Board on page 2. Make sure environmental and power requirements are met, see Requirements on page 3.
High humidity and condensation on the board surface causes short circuits. Do not operate the board outside the specified environmental limits. Make sure the board is completely dry and there is no moisture on any surface before applying power. SAM1411 Installation and Use (6806800M91A)
(rated voltage), according to Telecommunication Network Voltage (TNV-2). A TNV-2 circuit is a circuit whose normal operating voltages exceed the limits for a safety-extra- low-voltage (SELV) under normal operating conditions, and which is not subject to overvoltages from telecommunication networks. SAM1411 Installation and Use (6806800M91A)
4.3.3 Rotary Switch Settings The two rotary switches on the SAM1411 are used to set the SGA. The first byte of the shelf address of the shelf FRU information is automatically set to the SGA value. SAM1411 Installation and Use (6806800M91A)
Page 47
S1 sets the lower nibble and S2 sets the upper nibble. Use a screwdriver to set the switches by turning them. A little arrow on the switch shows you the value to which the switch is set. Figure 4-1 Rotary Switch Location SAM1411 Installation and Use (6806800M91A)
SAM1411 Installation Two SAM1411 in the same shelf must always be set to the same SGA. Otherwise, the software detects that the FRU information in the two SAM1411s is different and stops the power-up process. The red LED blinks and the boards are not powered.
7. Wait until the blue LED is on. 8. Screw in the captive screw hand tight. The blue LED blinks. 9. Wait until the blue LED is OFF. This indicates that the board is activated. SAM1411 Installation and Use (6806800M91A)
The board should start to move out of the chassis. Do not force it. If the SAM does not move, it means the captive screw is not fully unscrewed. Unscrew until loose and rotate the ejector handle down. 6. Remove the module from the shelf. SAM1411 Installation and Use (6806800M91A)
5.1.1 Persistent File Support To make files persistent that are usually located under the RAM disk root-file system, Emerson has implemented a persistent file mechanism. All files that are to be stored under the persistent file system instead of the RAM disk file system are listed in a persistent file map. The...

RAM disk file system to the persistent file system. The persistent map itself is also symlinked at startup from the RAM disk file system to the persistent file system. A default map is copied if it does not exists. SAM1411 Installation and Use (6806800M91A)
RAM disk file system is copied automatically during system startup. 5. Reboot the system After system reboot the file on the persistent media is used instead of the file on the RAM disk. SAM1411 Installation and Use (6806800M91A)
/usr/local/var/log. On rebooting the Shelf Manager, all files stored in /usr/local/var/log are moved to /usr/local/var/log.PREVIOUS. This allows two separate set of log files to be saved - the current logs in /usr/local/var/log and the logs from the previous boot in /usr/local/var/log.PREVIOUS.

Firmware Upgrade Facility Overview The Firmware Upgrade Facility (FUF) provides a uniform way to upgrade firmware on Emerson hub blades, node blades, and AMC modules. It consists of a Firmware Upgrade Command-line Utility (FCU), flash device drivers, and specially prepared firmware recovery image files.
Page 61
--help. Currently supported values are listed in the following table: Device ID Description U-Boot firmware device for ATCA-SAM1411 atca-sam1411-cpu Device Tree Binary device for ATCA-SAM1411 atca-sam1411-dtb Kernel device of ATCA-SAM1411 atca-sam1411-kernel Root filesystem (ramdisk) device for ATCA-SAM1411 atca-sam1411-rootfs IPMC firmware device atca-sam1411-hpm.1-ipmc...
Page 62
Otherwise, you must specify a bank and a device. Note that on the ATCA-SAM1411 the U-Boot, DTB, Kernel, and Ramdisk are coupled, this means when you mark a U-Boot image for the next reboot, the other corresponding images are automatically marked as well.
Page 63
Usage Some FCU options can be combined. Some options are exclusive. The following list describes the valid option combinations: --full-upgrade --file=<filename> --full-upgrade --file=<filename> --target=xxxxxx --help --mark --bank=<bank-letter> --device=<device-id> --query --query --device=<device-id> --show --file=<filename> SAM1411 Installation and Use (6806800M91A)
Page 64
When upgrading firmware, it is strongly recommended that you upgrade only one device at a time. While FCU performs many checks during upgrade to ensure success, if something goes wrong and both firmware banks become corrupted, the blade becomes inoperable. SAM1411 Installation and Use (6806800M91A)
Upgrading CPU Firmware Upgrading CPU Firmware Follow these steps to upgrade the CPU firmware (U-Boot): 1. Query the current and backup U-Boot firmware on the ATCA-SAM1411: # fcu -qd atca-sam1411-cpu 2. Show the version of the new U-Boot image: # fcu -s -f /opt/bladeservices/rom/sam1411-cpu.fri 3.
The flashcp utility does not upgrade the backup bank, but it upgrades the currently selected bank. Also, the ramdisk must be copied to the ATCA-SAM1411 and placed into /usr/local/ directory in order to upgrade due to the size of the ramdisk image.
Page 67
Marked for next use : yes Firmware was booted from this bank BANK Firmware Name : U-Boot Firmware Version : U-Boot 2010.06.2 (Mar 01 2011 - 10:06:53) MPC83XX Marked for next use : no ********************[[[[[ REPORT END ]]]]]******************** SAM1411 Installation and Use (6806800M91A)
2. Mark the backup boot bank for next use after the next reboot. If Bank A is "Marked for next use", mark Bank 'B' for the next reboot. # fcu -mb B -d atca-sam1411-cpu If Bank B is "Marked for next use", mark Bank 'A' for the next reboot.
Follow these steps to upgrade the IPMC firmware. The IPMC firmware becomes active immediately after the successful upgrade. 1. Copy the IPMC firmware file to the ATCA-SAM1411 in the /root directory. The firmware file is not stored within the ramdisk.
Page 70
7. There may be changes to files normally stored in the persistent file area when upgrading. Refer to the ATCA-SAM1411 Release Notes for more information. If there are no files in the persistent file area that need to be saved across a reboot (that is, user specific files or changes to configuration files), the persistent file area can be cleared later (before rebooting the Shelf Manager).
Page 71
Firmware Upgrade Facility 13. Clear the persistent file area or verify that necessary changes are made according to the ATCA-SAM1411 Release Notes. Reboot both Shelf Managers by issuing the below command from the Linux command line: reboot SAM1411 Installation and Use (6806800M91A)

Firmware Upgrade Facility SAM1411 Installation and Use (6806800M91A)
The SAM1411 uses U-Boot version 2010.06 to initialize Linux on the PPC. When power is applied to the SAM1411, U-Boot initializes the RAM and downloads the kernel image to memory. It also provides support for Ethernet protocols like TFTP, that makes it possible to download images from network servers.
