Hardware Preparation and Installation 2.3.2 Thermal Requirements In order for the ATCA-F125 to cool properly when the operating temperature is at the maximum (55C), the chassis must meet or exceed CP-TA B.3 ATCA Chassis Specification. CP-TA B.4 compliance is preferred.
The following table show typical examples of the power requirements, with and without accessories installed. For information on the accessories' power requirements, refer to the documentation delivered together with the respective accessory or consult your local Artesyn Embedded Technologies representative for further details.
Hardware Preparation and Installation Rear Transition Modules If applicable, install a rear transition module. For more information, refer the RTM-ATCA-F125 documents listed in Appendix B, Related Documentation. The RTMs are not hot-swappable. Before installation, make sure that no front blade is installed in its respective slot, or that the front blade is powered-down.
2.5.1 SATA Drive Installation An optional SATA drive may be installed on the ATCA-F125. An 80GB drive designed for extreme temperature and vibration environments has been test and approved for use on the ATCA-F125. Contact your Artesyn Embedded Technologies sales representative and order the HDD-80G-SATA kit which includes the hard drive, all the required mounting hardware, and the installation instructions.
If there is a Rear Transition Module (RTM) to install, install and secure the RTM first as described in the RTM-ATCA-F125 Installation and Use Guide, then install the front blade. If an RTM is already installed, make sure that the RTM faceplate screws are fully tightened to secure the RTM to the shelf.

Functional Description Processor A Freescale P2020 QorIQ Integrated Processor is present on the ATCA-F125 as the onboard service processor. The processor is manufactured in 45nm process technology and contains two e500 Book E-compatible cores with system logic to support a variety of applications. The default speed grade used on ATCA-F125 is 1000 MHz.
400 MHz providing a total bandwidth of 6.4 Gbyte/s. 4.3.2 Memory Sockets Two 240-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets are provided on the ATCA-F125 to host up to 2 Gbyte of memory on each DIMM socket using single or dual rank DDR3 registered DIMM memory modules.
4.3.4 Persistent Memory On the ATCA-F125, the persistent memory is part of the DDR memory subsystem. A dedicated register is available in the FPGA to enable or disable persistent memory by software. If persistent memory is enabled, the memory contents of the main memory stays unchanged after any applied reset, except power-up reset.
Functional Description IPMI The IPMI function on ATCA-F125 is implemented using the Artesyn Embedded Technologies common ATCA base IPMI design. This building block is based on the Pigeon Point Systems IMPI implementation using the Renesas HD64F2166 microcontroller which is part of the H8S controller family.
Figure 4-2 IPMI Block Diagram The ATCA-F125 board design supports a KCS LPC-based interface between the H8S controller and the P2020 service processor. The H8S contains a native Low Pin Count (LPC) interface. The P2020 does not have a LPC interface so a P2020 Local Bus to LPC bus interface is implemented inside the FPGA.
The FPGA functions include the following: Local Bus Interface Local Bus Address Latch and Decoder Low Pin Count Interface between Host and IPMC ATCA-F125 (6873M Artwork) Installation and Use (6806800J94L)
SPI device. The secondary SPI device, which is for fail-safe backup purposes only, is write protected and cannot be programmed in the field through the FPGA SPI interface. AUX_SS is deasserted by the SPI controller. ATCA-F125 (6873M Artwork) Installation and Use (6806800J94L)
BCM8747 microcode loading - The SPI port from the BCM8747 is routed to AUX_CS, CCLK, MOSI and DIN pins in the FPGA to allow the microcode to be read from SPI Flash 3. Figure 4-3 FPGA SPI ROM Configuration ATCA-F125 (6873M Artwork) Installation and Use (6806800J94L)
Boot Flash device #2 after reset. The boot device from which the service processor has booted (active bank) is write protected and cannot be reprogrammed, whereas the redundant boot device can be erased and reprogrammed.

Through the IPMI controller private I2C bus, the IPMC controller can set the various mux select before enabling reset on the remainder to the payload. ATCA-F125 (6873M Artwork) Installation and Use (6806800J94L)
4.7.1 Base Channel PHYs The ATCA-F125 uses two Broadcom BCM54680 octal PHYs, a BCM54616S PHY, and a BCM8747 PHY for the base channel. Each BCM54680 supports eight SGMII channels to the BCM56334 and provides the physical layer functions for the 10/100/1000Base-T connections or 10/100-T connections to the backplane.
1 Gbps SGMII ports of the BCM56820 can be routed to different destinations across the board using a series of 2 channel 2:1 muxes. The select pins for these mux/demux switches are controlled by the FGPA. ATCA-F125 (6873M Artwork) Installation and Use (6806800J94L)

MAC/PHY Port 1 SFP+ Modules The ATCA-F125 provides four SFP+ module receptacles on the front panel, two for base uplinks and two for fabric uplinks. The SFP+ signals LOS, TX_FAULT and MOD_ABS are monitored for status by the BCM8747 PHY. Status changes will result in a service processor interrupt.
The SFP+ module receptacles are designed to support standard SFP modules, SFP+ modules as well as direct attach copper SFP+ cables. The following table lists the SFP+ module types that have been tested and verified for use on the ATCA-F125. Table 4-5 Tested SFP+ Modules...

This procedure assumes that the ATCA-F125 is connected to a TFTP server and that the U-Boot command nfsboot has been defined. The external TFTP server must be connected using the ATCA-F125 face plate connector "ETH5", which is the Ethernet management interface.

This procedure assumes that the U-Boot command ramboothas been defined and that the RAM disk image is stored on an external TFTP server that is connected to the ATCA-F125. During each boot process, the image is downloaded from the TFTP server into the main memory of the blade.

This section describes how to configure U-boot to boot a Linux kernel stored in the boot flash and to mount the root file system in the user flash. The procedure uses the U-Boot script flashboot, which has been predefined by Artesyn Embedded Technologies. Configure U-boot to boot from flash: setenv bootcmd $flashboot 2.

Analyzing Kernel Log Files after a Kernel Panic If the Linux OS running on the ATCA-F125 indicates a kernel panic and you wish to analyze the cause, then you can issue a reset (using the face plate button for example) and subsequently analyze kernel log files.
This allows the reserved region to not be overwritten by U-Boot. U-Boot reports less memory to the Linux kernel (through the mem parameter) so that Linux will not use it either. Memory Map The following table shows the physical address map of the ATCA-F125. Table 5-1 Physical Address Map Device...
U-Boot Power-On Self Test When the ATCA-F125 is booted, U-boot executes a series of Power-On Self test (POST) routines. These routines check the functionality of different controllers and other on-board resources. The result is stored in memory and has the following format.

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. Install the new battery following the "positive" and "negative" signs. ATCA-F125 (6873M Artwork) Installation and Use (6806800J94L)
