Safety Requirements The following safety precautions must be observed when installing or operating the CP6930-1. Kontron assumes no respon- sibility for any damage resulting from failure to comply with these requirements. Warning Due care should be exercised when handling the board due to the fact that the heat sink can get very hot.
CP6930-1 User Guide CP6930-1 Initial Installation Procedures The following procedures are applicable only for the initial installation of the CP6930-1 in a system. Procedures for stan- dard removal and hot swap operations are found in their respective chapters. To perform an initial installation of the CP6930-1 in a in a system proceed as follows: 1.
Chapter 4. Quick Start This section gives instructions for (initially) accessing the CLI (Command Line Interface) of the CP6930-1 using either in- band access via the ethernet fabric or the out-of-band management interfaces (serial port or Fast Ethernet) accessible from the front plate serial connector or via an appropriate RIO module.
Fast Ethernet Serviceport The Gigabit Ethernet serviceport on the CP6930-1 front plate has no IP address set by default, it is necessary to assign an IP address statically or enable dhcp on the serviceport. Because the required configuration steps are done in the CLI, an initial access using the serial port is required.
In-Band CLI Access The GbE switch network port (in-band management access) on the CP6930-1 has no IP address set by default, it is necessary to assign an IP address either statically or by using DHCP to the network port. Because the required configuration steps are done in the CLI, an initial access using the serial port is required.
Page 25
To access the CLI via Fast Ethernet networkport, open a telnet connection to the configured IP address, port 23. It might make sense to separate the management network from the data path by setting appropriate VLANs For additional information on the system configuration, refer to the CP6930-1 CLI Reference Manual. www.kontron.com...

Real Time Clock with integrated oscillator, powered by a capacitor with up to 1 week of back up power IPMI The CP6930-1 board supports an intelligent hardware management system, based on the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification 1.5. The hardware management system provides the ability to manage the power, cooling and inter- connect needs of intelligent devices, to monitor events and to log events to a central repository intelligent FRU (Field Replaceable Unit).
3.3.1 IPMB Interface The CP6930-1 IPMI firmware implements the two independent IPMB-0 and IPMB-1 interfaces. The IPMB-0 can be switched to a redundant mode by aggregating the physical IPMB-0 and IPMB-1 lines together to one sin- gle logical IPMB-0. In redundant mode, command retries are send over the second physical line if the command timed out using the first line.
CP6930-1User Guide Write Protection Feature The CP6930-1 supports hardware driven write protection for all non-volatile memory devices. Depending on the device, the protection is implemented either by a dedicated write protection signal, by disabling the write enable signal, or the whole interface.

Shown values are examples. Firmware Administration A running CP6930-1 system requires – after the bootloader has passed control to the kernel – the kernel itself, the root file system (initrd) and the FASTPATH switching application. These software components make up the CP6930-1 firmware.
Therefore each boot monitor uses two flash sectors (partition mtd2) for storing its environment and redundant copy. A complete software release for the CP6930-1 consists of three files: • CP6930-1-update-<release>.pkg •...
The CLI commands described below are executed in the privileged mode of the CLI hierarchy, which is entered by executing the ‘enable’ command. Please refer to the “CP6930-1 CLI Reference Manual“ for more information regarding the CLI com- mands and the way to use them.
CP6930-1 User Guide The image will be copied including the configuration settings currently stored for image 1 4.5.2 Updating IPMI Updating the IPMI firmware is done with the “copy” command. In case that the update procedure fails or the update image is corrupted, the PM will be able to restart by means of its rollback functionality.
The complete list of sensors and their alarm thresholds can be found in chapter “Board Sensors” on page 54. As long as the temperature values stay below their upper critical threshold, all components on the CP6930-1 are considered to be operated within their specified temperature range.
Temperature Sensor Location Thermal Regulation When developing applications using the CP6930-1, the system integrator must be aware of the overall system thermal requirements. A system chassis must be provided which satisfy these requirements. Measurements proofed that operation in worst case conditions (maximum ambient temperature of 68°C under maximum load) with sufficient air flow (i.e.
Maximum PCB3 temperature versus airflow Airflow In order to allow system integrators to optimize environmental conditions for the CP6930-1, airflow measurements were performed. The pressure drop between inlet and outlet was measured and is shown in the following graph. Figure 5-3: Impedance Curve - pressure versus airflow www.kontron.com...

6.1.1 Baseboard The CP6930-1 baseboard itself has been designed for optimal power input and distribution. Still it is necessary to observe certain criteria essential for application stability and reliability. The board is supplied by the 3.3V and the 5.0V from the backplane. All supply voltages from the backplane are enabled with a predefined ramp-up time.
For example, if the +5V begins to decrease, +3.3V must decrease accordingly. This is required in order to pre- clude cross currents within the CP6930-1. Failure to comply with above may result in damage to the board or improper system operation.
Max. Traffic 57.6 Start-up Currents The start-up currents of the CP6930-1 during the first 2-3 seconds after power has been applied (power-on or hot-swap insertion) are less than the maximum currents given in Table 6-3 for each of the variants. www.kontron.com...
