  • Page 39: Intel I350 Ethernet Controller

    Functional Description Intel i350 Ethernet Controller The Intel i350 Quad Gigabit Ethernet Controller is the main interface between the Server PCIe bus and the Target Media Accelerator Processors. The Gigabit Ethernet Controller has an x4 PCIe Gen 2 bus (aggregate of 20Gbps throughput) connecting to the gold fingers of the PCIe edge card.

  • Page 40: Power

    Functional Description Power The PCIE-7207 card obtains power from two sources, one from the ATX style power connector (12V) and the other from the PCIe socket (3.3V). Both PCIE-7207-4 and PCIE-7407-4-i5 cards have the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) FRU depopulated. Gigabit Ethernet Each MCP is connected to an Intel i218 Gigabit Ethernet PHY over the dedicated PCIe x1 channel 4.

  • Page 42: Microsd Card

    Functional Description MicroSD Card There are four MicroSD cards mounted back-to-back along the top edge of the card near the faceplate. The MicroSD card is inserted from the top edge of the PCIE-7207 card. Each MicroSD goes to one of the respective MCPs. The MicroSD is designed for either a non-volatile storage space, and/or as a firmware recovery option.

  • Page 43: Microsd As Firmware Recovery Option

    Functional Description The following figure shows the location of the MicroSD cards and the corresponding MCPs on the board. Figure 3-3 MicroSD Card and MCP Location MicroSD MicroSD MCP4 MCP2 Primary Side MCP2 MCP3 MCP4 MCP1 MicroSD MicroSD MCP3 MCP1 Secondary Side 3.7.1 MicroSD as Firmware Recovery option...

  • Page 44: Microsd As Non-Volatile Storage

    Functional Description The pci7207 utility drives the i350 GPIO to the CPLD which drives the GPIO to the individual MCP-PCH to set the Insyde BIOS to recovery mode. When the MCP boots, the BIOS will sense the recovery GPIO and write the firmware BIOS from the MicroSD to the firmware chip. Then the MCP will reboot and the user can then connect to the MCP using VNC, SOL (amtterm) or Open Source Manageability Tool Kit to reconfigure the BIOS.

  • Page 45: Reset Management

    Functional Description Reset Management Each MCP reset is controlled by the CPLD. During power up, the CPLD state machine drives the reset control to each MCP. During an induced reset from the server, the GPIO on the i350 controller triggers a reset to the CPLD GPIO input, which in turn sends the reset to the selected individual MCP processor complex through the CPLD GPIO.

  • Page 46: Clock Management

    Functional Description Clock Management Clocking for each MCP complex consists of two crystals. One 24Mhz crystal to drive all the main buses and a 32.768Khz crystal to drive the real time clock. The PCIe differential clock from the PCIe gold fingers connector goes to the i350 Quad Gigabit Ethernet controller. This clock source comes from the server in which the card is inserted into.
