Installation Installation The CP6930 has been designed for easy installation. However, the following standard precautions, installa- tion procedures, and general information must be observed to ensure proper installation and to preclude damage to the board, other system components, or injury to personnel.
Installation 2.2 CP6930 Initial Installation Procedures The following procedures are applicable only for the initial installation of the CP6930 in a system. Proce- dures for standard removal and hot swap operations are found in their respective chapters. To perform an initial installation of the CP6930 in a system proceed as follows: 1.
7. Dispose of the board as required. 2.4 Software Installation The CP6930 comes as a pre-installed system with all necessary OS, filesystem, drivers and applications fac- tory-installed with default configurations. Updating the Software with new operating system or applications or new versions is provided by a dedicated update mechanism, which is described in Chapter 4.
2.5.1.2 Fast Ethernet Serviceport The Gigabit Ethernet serviceport on the CP6930 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.
The procedure for assigning an IP address to the network port is described in the following. User input is printed in bold letters. 1. Connect to serial port on the front plate (using the Kontron DB9 adapter cable) or RIO module (using a RJ45 straight cable).
Page 30
To access the CLI via Fast Ethernet networkport, open a telnet connection to the configured IP address, port 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 CLI Reference Manual.

• Real Time Clock with integrated oscillator, powered by a capacitor with up to 1 week of back up power 3.3 IPMI The CP6930 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 interconnect 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 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 single logical IPMB-0.
Functional Description 3.4 Write Protection Feature The CP6930 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.

Software Description 4.3 Bootloader On the CP6930 CPCI Ethernet Switch board, the bootloader 'u-boot' (universal bootloader) is used. The bootloader initializes the main components of the board like Unit Computer, DDR2 RAM, serial lines etc. for operation and performs a power on self test (POST). After these step have been finished, kernel and applica- tion are started from flash.
Command script (use with “run clear_env”) that erases the U-Boot clear_env Script environment for the active image 0 – rollback when CRC check of kernel or rootfs fails (default) disable_rollback 1 – do not rollback CP6930 User Guide www.kontron.com...

Shown values are examples. 4.5 Firmware Administration A running CP6930 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 firmware.
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 CLI Reference Manual“ for more information regarding the CLI commands and the way to use them.

Software Description When performing a firmware update, the software package is loaded from a remote TFTP server. A software update of the CP6930 CPCI Switch is done by performing the following steps: 1. Prepare network access of the board 2. Log in to the privileged exec mode of the CLI of the board 3.
The IPMI firmware package file is provided in HPM.1 format and is stored in the data/update directory of the release directory tree. (Ethernet Fabric) #copy tftp://192.168.50.5/cp6930-ipmi-GA-2.00.hpm nvram:ipmi Flashing a new IPMI firmware will disable the IPMI Controller for some minutes.
The CP6930 has six temperature sensors which ensure operation within the specified temperature limits. The sensors are accessible via the Peripheral Manager. Although temperature sensing information is made avail- able to the PM, the CP6930 itself does not provide any active means of temperature regulation. The following temperatures are measured by the Peripheral Manager.
Temperature Sensor Location 5.2 Thermal Regulation When developing applications using the CP6930, 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 5.3 Airflow In order to allow system integrators to optimize environmental conditions for the CP6930, airflow measure- ments were performed. The pressure drop between inlet and outlet was measured and is shown in the follow- ing graph.
Thermal Considerations The area between the front panel and the backplane connectors is divided into five zones. The following dia- gram shows the airflow distribution across those zones. Figure 5-4: Airflow Distribution by Test Section CP6930 User Guide www.kontron.com...

Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Power Considerations www.kontron.com...
6.1.1 Baseboard The CP6930 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.
An ATX power supply unit should be able to provide at least three times as much power as the entire system requires. As the design of the CP6930 has been optimized for minimal power consumption, the power supply unit shall be stable even without minimum load.
For example, if the +5V begins to decrease, +3.3V must decrease accordingly. This is required in order to preclude cross currents within the CP6930. Failure to comply with above may result in damage to the board or improper system operation.
57.6 6.3 Start-up Currents The start-up currents of the CP6930 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. CP6930 User Guide...
