2.1
Application
The Advanced Telecommunications Compute Architecture (AdvancedTCA) standards define open
architecture modular computing components for carrier-grade, communications network
infrastructure. The goals of the standards are to enable blade-based modular platforms to be:
• cost effective
• high-density
• high-availability
• scalable
These systems use a fabric I/O network for connecting multiple, independent processor boards, I/O
nodes (e.g., line cards), and I/O devices (e.g., storage subsystem).
The MPCBL0001 SBC is designed per the AdvancedTCA Design Guide for High Availability,
Switched Network Computing. Bulk storage for the system is connected through optional dual
Fibre Channel interfaces. The MPCBL0001FXX SBC includes a Fibre Channel controller. The
MPCBL0001NXX SBC does not have the Fibre Channel controller.
2.2
Functional Description
This topic defines the architecture of the MPCBL0001 SBC through descriptions of functional
SBC. The MPCBL0001 SBC is a dual processor, hot-swappable SBC with backplane connections
to dual Gigabit Ethernet star networks and dual Fibre Channel star arbitrated loops.
The SBC incorporates an Intelligent Platform Management Controller that monitors critical
functions of the board, responds to commands from the shelf manager, and reports events.
Power is supplied to the MPCBL0001 SBC through two redundant -48 V power supply
connections. Power for on-board hardware management circuitry is provided through a standby
converter on the power mezzanine. This converter, along with all the other converters on the power
mezzanine are fed by the diode OR'd -48 V supply from the backplane.
The SBC has provision for the addition of a PMC device and supports 32-bit and 64-bit transfers at
33 MHz and 66 MHz. The SBC also offers one USB and one service terminal interface. An
overview of each block follows.

2.2.1
Low Voltage Intel Xeon Processor CPU-0 (U35), CPU-1
(U36)
incorporates Intel® NetBurst™ microarchitecture and a high-bandwidth Front-Side Bus, allowing
performance levels that are significantly higher than previous generations of IA-32 family
processors. The processors include the following features:
• 2.0 GHz with a 400 MHz system bus
• 512 Kbyte L2 cache
• Hyper-pipelined technology
• Advanced dynamic execution
• Execution trace cache
• Streaming SIMD (single instruction, multiple data) extensions 2
• Advanced transfer cache
• Enhanced floating point and multimedia engine
• Intel & OEM EEPROM and thermal sensor manageability features
• Supports single and dual processor configurations
• Throttling enabled for protection against high temperatures
The Low Voltage Xeon processor host bus utilizes a split-transaction, deferred-reply protocol. The
host bus uses source-synchronous transfer of address and data to improve throughput at the 100 or
133 MHz bus frequency (depending on processor model). Addresses are transferred at 2X the bus
frequency while data is transferred at 4X the bus frequency, resulting in peak data transfer rates up
to 3.2 or 4.3 GBytes/s.
In addition to the NetBurst microarchitecture, the Low Voltage Intel Xeon processor includes a
groundbreaking technology called Hyper-Threading Technology† (HT Technology). HT
Technology improves processor performance for multithreaded applications or multitasking
environments by supporting multiple software threads on each processor.
Low Voltage Intel Xeon processors require their package case temperatures to be operated below
an absolute maximum specification. If the chassis ambient temperature exceeds a level whereby
the processor thermal cooling subsystem can no longer maintain the specified case temperature, the
processors will automatically enter a mode called Thermal Monitor to reduce their case
temperatures. Thermal Monitor controls the processor temperature by modulating the internal
processor core clocks, thereby reducing internal power dissipation, and does not require any
interaction by the Operating System or Application. Once the case temperatures have reached a
safe operating level, the processor will return to its non-modulated operating frequency. See the
for further details.
An optional ITP700 port connection is included to facilitate debug and BIOS/software
development efforts. This JTAG connection to the processors utilizes voltage-signaling levels that
are specific to the Low Voltage Xeon processor family. These levels must not be exceeded or
processor damage may occur. Please refer to Intel document ITP700 Debug Port Design Guide,
order number 249679-005 for additional information on the ITP connector pin definitions.

The two high-speed communications interfaces (Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel) are located in
separate P64H2 devices to maximize data throughput. A single HI-2 hub link connection from the
P64H2 to the MCH provides a >1 Gbyte/s bandwidth back to memory and the processor System
Bus.
2.2.3
Memory (J8, J9, J10, J11)
Four DDR 266 DIMM sockets make up the memory subsystem. See Figure 20, “Component
Layout (#1)” on page 100 for their locations. The MCH defines two memory channels operating in
parallel to logically create a 144-bit wide memory data path. ECC is generated and checked across
128 bits of data, allowing for significant improvement in error correction.
Due to this architecture, DDR DIMMs must be installed in matched pairs. Memory DIMM
configurations ranging from 512 MBytes to 8 GBytes in 512 MByte increments are supported.
2.2.3.1
Memory Ordering Rule for the MCH
Platforms based on the E7501 chipset require DDR DIMMs to be populated in matched pairs in a
specific order. Start with the two DIMMs furthest from the MCH in a “fill-farthest” approach (see
Figure 2). This requirement is based on the signal integrity requirements of the DDR interface.

• Supports IP as well as other protocols; however there are currently no plans to validate
protocols other than SCSI_FCP.
Each Fibre Channel interface of the ISP2312 includes its own internal 16-bit RISC processor and
external 7.5 ns synchronous SRAM memory for instruction code and data. Parity protection is
provided on accesses to this memory. The SBC utilizes two 256 KByte (128Kx18) SRAMs, one for
each port, for the ISP2312 memory requirements.
An external 256 x 16 non-volatile EEPROM is used to store system configuration parameters and
PCI subsystem and subsystem vendor IDs. The first 128 bytes are used for function 0 parameters
and the second 128 bytes are used for function 1.
2.2.5
PMC Connector (J25, J26, J27)
The MPCBL0001 SBC supports one 64-bit, 66 MHz PMC slot. The PMC slot is connected to the
second of two P64H2 hub controllers via PMC Connectors J25-J27. The PMC slot has an opening
in the front panel of the SBC that exposes the I/O connectors of the add-in PMC card. PMC cards
can only be added to or removed from this slot when the board is outside the system chassis. See
Figure 20, “Component Layout (#1)” on page 100 for its location.
The PCI bus specification provides the means for backward compatibility with slower PMC cards
(32-bit or 33 MHz) through the use of the M66EN pin. A PMC card that does not support 66 MHz
operation grounds the M66EN pin when installed to inform the SBC hardware to provide a 33
MHz clock to this interface. Support for 32-bit only PMC cards is accomplished through the use of
the REQ64#/ACK64# PCI bus protocol.
The PMC slot provided by the SBC connects the PCI VI/O voltage pins to +3.3 V. This requires
use of PMC plug-in cards that support +3.3 V I/O signal levels. Only PMC plug-in cards
designated “+3.3 V only” or “universal” voltage I/O are supported. The PMC plug-in location
provides a key pin to prevent insertion of cards that do not meet this requirement. Note that +5 V
power is still supplied to the PMC pins designated for +5 V connections. The PMC is allotted 1.5 A
of current.
2.2.6
Firmware Hub (U30, U33)
The MPCBL0001 SBC supports two 8Mbit (1 MByte) BIOS flash ROMs:
• Primary BIOS flash ROM (FWH0)
• Recovery BIOS flash ROM (FWH1)
The flash is allocated for BIOS and Firmware usage.
The SBC boots from the primary flash ROM under normal circumstances. During the boot process,
if the BIOS (or IPMC) determines that the contents of the primary flash ROM are corrupted, a
hardware mechanism is available to change the flash device select logic to the recovery flash
Each flash component has a separately write-protected boot block that prevents erasure when the
device is upgraded.

Flash ROM BIOS updates can be performed by an end user or a network administrator over the
LAN. The system should complete booting to an OS, MS-DOS* or logon to Linux* as root user.
The system should have a local copy of the flash program and the BIOS data files or have the
capability to copy the flash program and BIOS data files onto a local drive via the network. The
flash program has a command line interface to specify the path and the file name of the BIOS data
files. After completing the BIOS ROM update the user should shutdown and reset the system to let
information.
2.2.6.1
FWH 0 (Main BIOS)
BIOS execute code off this flash and perform checksum validation of its operational code. This
checksum occurs in the boot block of the BIOS. The BIOS image is also stored in FWH0. When
user performs BIOS update, the BIOS image will be stored in FWH 0 only. FWH0 will also store
the factory default CMOS settings user configured CMOS settings.
1. When user "Load optimal defaults" from the BIOS setup screen, it restores the factory default
by copying the "Factory Default" settings from FWH0 to ICH3 (CMOS).
2. When user "Save custom defaults" from the BIOS setup screen, the changes will be made to
the CMOS settings on ICH3 and then copied from ICH3 to FWH0.
3. When user "Load custom defaults" from the BIOS setup screen, the "custom" CMOS settings
are copied from FWH0 to ICH3.
2.2.6.2
2.2.6.3
FWH 1 (Backup/Recovery BIOS)
FWH 1 stores the recovery BIOS. In the event of checksum failure on the Main BIOS operational
code, BIOS will request BMC to switch FWH, so that the board will be able to boot up from FWH1
for recovery.
User is able to boot up the board from FWH1 by executing an OEM IPMI command as well (see
Flash ROM Backup Mechanism
The on-board Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC) manages which of the two
BIOS flash ROMs is used during the boot process. The IPMC monitors the boot progress and can
change the flash ROM selection and reset the processor.
The default state of this control configures the primary Firmware Hub (FWH) ROM device ID to
be the boot device; the secondary FWH is assigned the next ID. The secondary FWH responds to
the address range just below the primary FWH ROM in high memory.
The Intelligent Platform Management Controller sets the ID for both FWH devices. Boot accesses
are directed to the FWH with ID = 0; unconnected ID pins are pulled low by the FWH device. In
this way the IPMC may select which flash ROM is used for the boot process.

Onboard Power Supplies
The main power supply rails on the MPCBL0001 SBC are powered from dual-redundant -48 V
power supply inputs from the backplane power connector (P10). There are also dual redundant,
limited current, make-last-break-first (MLBF) power connections. See Figure 20, “Component
Layout (#1)” on page 100 for their location.
2.2.7.1
2.2.7.2
Power Feed Fuses
As required by the PICMG 3.0 Specification, the MPCBL0001 SBC provides fuses on each of the
-48V power feeds and on the RTN connections as well. The fuses on the return feeds are critical to
prevent overcurrent situations if an ORing diode in the return path fails and there is a voltage
potential difference between the A and B return paths.
ORing Diodes and Circuit Breaker Protection
The two -48 V power connectors are OR’d together. A current limiting FET switch is connected
between the OR’d -48 V and the primary DC-DC converters. The FET switch provides three
functions:
• A mechanism to electrically connect/disconnect the SBC to/from the two -48 V inputs.
• A soft-on function.
• An over-current circuit breaker feature.
2.2.7.3

-48 V to +12 V Converter
This converter provides DC isolation between the -48 V and -48 V return connections and all of the
derived DC power on the MPCBL0001 SBC. Its output is connected to the SBC’s +12 V power
rail. The converter supplies a maximum of 9 A of current. The converter is enabled/disabled by the
onboard IPMC.
-48 V to +5 V/+3.3 V Converter
This converter provides DC isolation between the -48 V and -48 V return connections and all of the
derived DC power on the MPCBL0001 SBC. Its output is connected to the SBC’s +5 V and 3.3 V
power rails. The converter supplies a maximum of 9 A of +5 V current and 9 A of +3.3 V current.
The converter is enabled/disabled by the onboard IPMC.
Processor Voltage Regulator Module (VRM)
The Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) provides core power to the two Low Voltage Xeon
processors. The input to the VRM is connected to the +12 V power rail.

The VRM controller is designed to support multiple processor core voltages selected by the voltage
identification (VID) pins on the processor. Logic provided on the SBC ensures that the VRM is not
enabled if the two processors request different VID codes. In addition, the VRM is disabled until
all other voltage converters indicate “power good.” The voltage regulator module is designed to
support up to two 43 W (TDP - Thermal Design Power) processors.
Note: The +5 VSB power rail only needs to supply at least 4.0 V to properly power any circuitry that uses
the +5 VSB rail when the payload power (i.e., processors, ethernet controller, etc.) is not turned on.
Any alerts from the +5 VSB sensor when the system is not in the M4, M5, or M6 states should be
ignored.
2.2.7.6
IPMB Standby Power
This converter provides DC isolation between the -48 V and -48 V return connections and all of the
derived DC power on the MPCBL0001. Its output is connected to the IPMB and standby +5 V
power rail of the SBC. The converter supplies a maximum of 1.5 A of +5 V current. A +3.3 V
management voltage is derived from the IPMB power by means of a linear regulator circuit and is
used to power most of the IPMC functions. Standby power is derived from the -48 V rails and is
always available on the SBC unless the overall system power rail (-48 V) is shut down.

Hardware Management Overview 3
The Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC) is an Intel-designed baseboard
management controller device manufactured by Philips Semiconductor* for Intel.
The high-level architecture of the baseboard management for MPCBL0001 is represented in the
block diagram below.

Memory
The main processors communicate with the IPMC using the Keyboard Controller Style (KCS)
interface. Two KCS interfaces are available for the BIOS to communicate to the IPMC. BIOS uses
SMS interface for normal communication and SMM interface when executing code under systems
management mode (SMM). The base address of the LPC interface for SMS is 0xCA2 and 0xCA4
for SMM operation. Besides that, the BIOS is able to communicate with the IPMC for POST error
logging purposes, fault resilient purposes, and critical interrupts via the KCS interface.
The memory subsystem of the IPMC consists of a flash memory to hold the IPMC operation code,
firmware update code, system event log (SEL), and a sensor data record (SDR) repository. RAM is
used for data and occasionally as a storage area for code when flash programming is under
execution. The field replacement unit (FRU) inventory information is stored in the nonvolatile
memory on ADM1026. The flash memory can store up to 64 KBytes of SEL events and SDR
information, while the ADM1026 can store up to 512 bytes of FRU information. Having the SEL
and logging functions managed by the IPMC helps ensure that ‘post-mortem’ logging information
is available even if the system processor becomes disabled.

Contents
The IPMC provides six I2C bus connections. Two are used as the redundant IPMB bus connections
to the backplane while another one is used for communication with the ADM1026. The remaining
buses are unused. If an IPMB bus fault or IPMC failure occurs, IPMB isolators are used to switch
and isolate the backplane/system IPMB bus from the faulted SBC board. Where possible, the
IPMC activates the redundant IPMB bus to re-establish system management communication to
report the fault.
The onboard DC voltages are monitored by the ADM1026 device, manufactured by Analog
Devices. The IPMC queries the ADM1026 over a local system management I2C bus. The
ADM1026 includes voltage threshold settings that can be configured to generate an interrupt to the
IPMC if any of the thresholds are exceeded.
To increase the reliability of the MPCBL0001 SBC, a watchdog timer is implemented, whereby it
strobes an external watchdog timer at two-second intervals to ensure continuity of operation of the
board’s management subsystem. If the IPMC ceases to strobe the watchdog timer, the watchdog
timer isolates the IPMC from the IPMBs and resets the IPMC. The watchdog timer expires after six
seconds if strobes are not generated, and it resets the IPMC. Detailed information on the watchdog
timer configuration can be queried using standard IPMI v1.5 watchdog timer commands. The
watchdog timer does not reset the payload power.
3.1
Sensor Data Record (SDR)
Sensor Data Records contain information about the type and number of sensors in the baseboard,
sensor threshold support, event generation capabilities, and the types of sensor readings handled by
system management firmware.
The MPCBL0001 management controller is set up as a satellite management controller (SMC). It
does support sensor devices, whose population is static by nature. SDRs can be queried using
Device SDR commands to the firmware. Refer to Section B, “List of Supported Commands (IPMI
v1.5 and PICMG 3.0)” on page 189 for the list of supported IPMI commands for SDRs. Hardware
sensors that have been implemented are listed below.

NOTE: The PROCHOT signal is a discrete signal but it is treated as a threshold sensor so that it can have a
Sensor Type of Temperature. IPMI does not have a discrete sensor type for temperatures. The
advantage of the PROCHOT sensor acting as a temperature sensor is that the CMM can recognize
events from this sensor as temperature events and adjust fan speed accordingly.
3.2
System Event Log (SEL)
The SEL is the collection of events that are generated by the IPMC. Event logs are stored in non-
volatile memory. This resides on the board and allows better tracking of error conditions on the
baseboard when it is moved from chassis to chassis. Having the SEL and logging functions
managed by the IPMC helps ensure that post-mortem logging information is available should a
failure occur that disables the systems processor(s). In the MPCBL0001, flash memory for IPMI
firmware can store up to 3276 SEL entries. Management software running on the host processor is
responsible for ensuring that SEL storage has sufficient space for SEL logging. Events are
normally forwarded to shelf manager and logged to SEL on the board. If SEL storage on the board
is full, new events are forwarded to the Shelf Manager but are not logged in to SEL on the board.
the SEL to be read and cleared and allows events to be added to the SEL. The IPMI commands
used for adding events to the SEL are Platform Event Message, Add SEL entry, and Partial Add
events. Event Messages can be sent to the IPMC via the IPMB. This provides the mechanism for
satellite controllers to detect events and log them into the SEL.

The Power Unit sensor is used to detect when the

When the board enters M4 state, the IPMC asserts a
Power Enable line to cause the Payload to power up.
The IPMC then waits for another line that indicates
that the power has come up successfully. If that line
does not assert within 2 seconds, then offset 05h is
asserted on the Power Unit sensor, which generates
an event to notify the Shelf Manager of the failure.

1. These sensor offsets do not generate events, but they are valid offsets when reading the sensor values.
2. Watchdog sensor refers to WDT#1 per Section 3.13.1.
3.2.1
Temperature and Voltage Sensors
Temperature and voltage readings are monitored by ADM1026. They are critical sensors that
ensure the MPCBL0001 is operating at its predefined threshold limits. The sensors are categorized
as follows:
• Lower Non-Critical
• Lower Critical
• Upper Non-Critical
• Upper Critical
If the lower critical or upper critical threshold is exceeded, it raises a major alarm. If the lower non-
critical or upper non-critical threshold is exceeded, it raises a minor alarm.
Only critical thresholds which are exceeded turn the Health LED solid red. However, for any
events above, IPMC forwards the events to the shelf manager to log it into shelf manager’s SEL.

3.2.3
Processor Events
The processor asserts IERR as the result of an internal error. A thermal trip error indicates the
processor junction temperature has reached a level where permanent silicon damage may occur.
Upon THERMTRIP assertion, the IPMC powers down the boards.
DIMM Memory Events
The MCH (E7501) instructs the ICH3 to report memory parity errors via SMI#. The SMI handler
extracts the error information (address) from the DRAM error registers in the MCH and logs it into
the SEL. The KCS interface performs error reporting to IPMC. BIOS sends a platform event
message with the appropriate data to the IPMC, which logs the event to SEL and forwards the
event to the Shelf Manager. Correctable memory errors generate an SMI and are logged into SEL.
Normally, a board with non-correctable errors is likely to hang as the multi-bit error may cause the
CPU to execute corrupted instructions. If the CPU executes corrupted instructions before executing
the code to log the event, then this event will not be logged in the SEL.
3.2.4
3.2.5
System Firmware Progress (POST Error)
The BIOS is able to log both POST and critical events to the IPMC error log. (Refer to Table 89,
Critical Interrupts
In general, the system BIOS is capable of generating requests on the KCS interface to
communicate with the IPMC for error logging, fault resilience, critical interrupts and reading/
writing inventory CPUs and RAM information to the IPMC. Two LPC interfaces are available for
the BIOS to communicate to the IPMC. The BIOS uses the SMS interface for normal
communication with the IPMC and the SMM interface when executing code under SMM mode.
PCI errors implemented in the MPCBL0001 are handled as follows:
1. The MCH(E7501) sends a parity error/system error (PERR/SERR) message over the hub
interface to the ICH3 notifying it that an error occurred.
2. The ICH3 generates an SMI# interrupt when it receives a PERR/SERR message.
3. The SMI handler checks the error status registers of CPU/MCH until it identifies the source
and type of the error.
4. The handler sends a message to the IPMC via the KCS interface, causing it to log the error in
the IPMC’s event log. IPMC then forwards the event to Shelf Manager to log it into Shelf
Manager SEL.

3.2.6
System ACPI Power State
MPCBL0001 is targeted to support ACPI functionality, with support for the sleep states S0, S4 &
S5. On assertion of ICH3_SLP_S5# and ICH3_SLP_S3# GPIOs, IPMC sends out a hot-swap event
message to the shelf manager requesting deactivation. On successful reception of a deactivation
message from the shelf manager, the FRU enters M1 power state and remains in this state.
Under conditions where an ACPI enabled operating system is in S4/S5 sleep state, the chipset
could deassert ICH3_SLP_S5# and ICH3_SLP_S3# GPIOs requiring the IPMC to attempt
AdvancedTCA power state transition to M4 state (through M2, M3).
ACPI capabilities of an operating system are communicated by BIOS to the IPMC at initialization.
An OEM style IPMI command is sent by BIOS for this purpose. This command (SetACPIConfig ;
NetFn: 30h, command: 83h) is sent by BIOS every time an operating system is initialized. The
IPMC firmware defaults to no ACPI until this command is received with proper data in the request
to indicate the OS is either ACPI enabled or disabled. For obvious reasons, this command is only
executable over SMS channel.
3.2.7
IPMB Link Sensor
The MPCBL0001 provides two IPMB links to increase communication reliability to the shelf
manager and other IPM devices on the IPMB bus. These IPMB links work together for increased
throughput where both busses are actively used for communication at any point. A request might
be received over IPMB Bus A, and the response is sent over IPMB Bus B. Any requests that time
out are retried on the redundant IPMB bus. In the event of any link state changes, the events are
written to the MPCBL0001 SEL. IPMC monitors the bus for any link failure and isolates itself
from the bus if it detects that it is causing errors on the bus. Events are sent to signify the failure of
a bus or, conversely, the recovery of a bus.
3.2.8
3.2.9
FRU Hot Swap
The hot-swap event message conveys the current state of the FRU, the previous state, and a cause
of the state change as can be determined by the IPMC. Refer to PICMG 3.0 Specifications for
further details on the hot-swap state.
CPU Failure Detection
A CPU failure during runtime or POST will have better error handling: a SEL event notification
will be generated if either one of the CPUs fails to power up, and the Health LED will turn red.
1. An FRB3 timer (30 seconds) was implemented to detect the failure of the CPUs to boot. This
also now implements offset 04h in the CPU 0 Status sensor. When asserted, it will generate an
event and set the Health LED to red.
2. The SMI line is now checked for a long (10 second) assertion that indicates a severe hardware
failure around the CPUs during runtime. As a result, a new discrete sensor has been added
(SMI Timeout) that will assert when the SMI line stays asserted too long.

Port 80h POST Codes
When there is an FRB3 failure, the event message sent from the CPU Status sensor with sensor
type code 07 provides the last Port 80 code byte written by the BIOS. This information is contained
in Data Byte 3 of the event message.
Example:
To decode Port 80 data from SEL event when a board is booted without memory, refer to the
following method.

Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) Information
The FRU Information provides inventory data about the boards where the FRU Information Device
is located. The part number or version number can be read through software.
FRU information in the MPCBL0001 includes data describing the MPCBL0001 board as per
PICMG 3.0 Specification requirements. Additional multirecords will be added for the BIOS to
write CPU information, BIOS version number, and PMC information to FRU data correctly. This
information is retrieved by shelf manager (ShMC), enabling reporting of board-specific
information through an out-of-band mechanism.
Following are the definitions for the multirecord implemented by the firmware as part of FRU data.

E-Keying
E-Keying has been defined in the PICMG 3.0 Specification to prevent board damage, prevent
misoperation, and verify fabric compatibility. The FRU data contains the board point-to-point
connectivity record as described in Section 3.7.2.3 of the PICMG 3.0 Specification.
Upon management power-on, the firmware sets the Fibre Channel ports to front panel by default.
When the board enters M3 power state, the shelf manager reads in the board point-to-point
connectivity record from FRU and determines whether the board can enable the Fibre Channel
ports to the back plane. Set/Get Port State IPMI commands defined by the PICMG 3.0
Specification are used for either granting or rejecting the E-keys.
If user Fibre Channel selection is to the front, the firmware maintains the Fibre Channel ports to the
front panel regardless of the shelf manager’s granting or rejecting of E-keys for the board.

• Connections to base and fabric interfaces on the MPCBL0001 board for E-keying purposes.
• Link descriptor list for the two Gigabit Ethernet channels connected to the base interface and

IPMC Firmware Code
IPMC firmware code is organized into boot code and operational code, both of which are stored in
a flash module. Upon an IPMC reset, the IPMC executes the boot code and performs the following:
1. Self test to verify the status of its hardware and memory.
2. Sets up the internal real-time operating system (RTOS).
3. Performs a checksum of the operational code.
Upon successful verification of the operational code checksum, the firmware will jump to the
operational code.

When the firmware is commanded to enter firmware (FW) update mode, the operational code uses
a special branch, Software Interrupt, to jump to the FW update code in the boot block. Once in FW
update mode, the update code is copied into RAM, then the firmware jumps to the code in RAM to
execute. The FW update code cannot execute out of flash while the flash is being updated.

IPMC Firmware Upgrade Procedure
MPCBL0001 firmware is upgraded using either of two methods, the KCS interface or the IPMB
(RMCP) interface.
3.6.1
IPMC Firmware Upgrade Using KCS Interface
The KCS interface is the communication mechanism between the host processor on the
MPCBL0001 and the IPMC controller. A firmware update utility is available. It takes a hex file to
be updated as input from the command line. It can also verify that updates are completed
successfully by reading back data written to the flash memory. Typically, it takes the utility around
two minutes to complete the update over the KCS interface. After the firmware update is

completed, the controller goes through a reset and boots up with the new firmware. The host
processor is not reset when going through a firmware update, so the operating system and
applications running on the host processor are not interrupted.
Please refer to the latest IPMC firmware release notes for the upgrade procedure. The upgrade
can be downloaded from the Intel web site at http://www.intel.com/design/network/products/cbp/

IPMI Specification v1.5 defines Remote Management Control Protocol (RMCP). Version 1.5 adds
features for layering commands through virtual networks like Ethernet.
The IPMC firmware that needs to be upgraded is loaded to client utility software on the RMCP
client. The RMCP client uses the RMCP protocol carrying embedded IPMI messages to send to the
RMCP Server running in the CMM. The RMCP server decodes the RMCP package and forwards
the IPMI messages to the SBC.

Hot-Swap Process
The MPCBL0001 SBC has the ability to be hot-swapped in and out of a chassis. The onboard
IPMC manages the SBC’s power-up and power-down transitions. The list below, along with
Figure 6, illustrates this process.
1. Ejector latch is opened. HOT_SWAP_PB# assertion. IPMC firmware detects the assertion of
this signal.
2. IPMC sends "Deactivation Request" message to CMM. M state moves from M4-> M5.
3. Board moves from M5 -> M6 if the CMM grants the request.
4. The IPMC's ACPI timer (3 minutes) starts if an ACPI-enable OS is loaded. Otherwise, it goes
to Step 7 below. The IPMC asserts 20 ms pulse on SMC_PWRBTN#.
5. The Power Button Status register (PWRBTN_STS) is set. It then asserts SCI/SMI# to the OS.
If ACPI OS is enabled, SCI interrupt handler on the OS is called. Interrupt handler clears
PWRBTN_STS bit. OS starts to perform a graceful shutdown.
6. ICH3 detects "LOW" on the ICH3_PWRBTN#. Asserts ICH3_SLP_S3# and ICH3_SLP_S5#
to IPMC. Upon detection of ICH3_SLP_S5# and ICH3_SLP_S3#, board transitions to Step 7
below. If ICH3 doesn't assert the signals, the board will transition to Step 7 below upon the
ACPI timer expiration.
7. The firmware deasserts payload power and sets the IPMI locked bit before it transitions from
M6 to M1 state.
Note: If the upper-level software moves the IPMC to M6, the same procedure is followed, starting with
Step 4.

Hot-Swap LED (DS10)
The MPCBL0001 SBC supports one blue Hot Swap LED, mounted on the front panel. See
Figure 14, “MPCBL0001NXX SBC Front Panel” on page 81 for its location. This LED indicates
when it is safe to remove the SBC from the chassis. The on-board IPMC drives this LED to
When the lower ejector handle is disengaged from the faceplate, the hot swap switch embedded in
the PCB will assert a "HOT_SWAP_PB#" signal to the IPMC, and the IPMC will move from the
M4 state to the M5 state. At the M5 state, the IPMC will ask the CMM (or Shelf Manager) for
permission to move to the M6 state. The Hot Swap LED will indicate this state by blinking on for
about 100 milliseconds, followed by 900 milliseconds in the off state. This will occur as long as the
SBC remains in the M5 state. Once permission is received from the CMM or higher-level software,
the SBC will move to the M6 state.
The CMM or higher level software can reject the request to move to the M6 state. If this occurs, the
Hot Swap LED returns to a solid off condition, indicating that the SBC has returned to M4 state.
If the SBC reaches the M6 state, either through an extraction request through the lower ejector
handle or a direct command from higher-level software, and an ACPI-enabled OS is loaded on the
SBC, the IPMC communicates to the OS that the module must discontinue operation in preparation
for removal. The Hot Swap LED continues to flash during this preparation time, just like it does at
the M5 state. When main board power is successfully removed from the SBC, the Hot Swap LED
remains lit, indicating it is safe to remove the SBC from the chassis.
Warning: Removing the SBC prematurely can lead to device corruption or failure.

Interrupts and Error Reporting
3.10.1
Device Interrupts
The Low Voltage Intel® Xeon™ processor and E7501 chipset (MCH, ICH3, P64H2) utilize a
mechanism for delivering interrupts that is slightly different from, though fully compatible with,
previous IA-32 system platforms. The change affects only the delivery mechanism and no changes
are required to existing software.
This new delivery mechanism transfers the equivalent APIC messages across the system bus
structure rather than using a sideband channel as in the case of the APIC serial bus. There is no
longer an APIC bus connection to the processor. This new mechanism improves the interrupt
message transfer speed to the processors, thus reducing latency. It also simplifies the flushing of
buffers that is required when data is buffered between the I/O subsystem and memory. Since
interrupt messages are no longer communicated across a sideband channel, these transfers are now
visible to the chipset. The interrupt message transactions themselves can now initiate buffer
flushing to ensure all data within the I/O and memory subsystems is coherent.
As before, the LINT[1:0] connections to the processors remain for compatibility with the old PC
industry standard, legacy interrupt architecture (8259 controllers). In addition, the P64H2 PCI
bridge devices include an interrupt output (BTINTR#), which can be routed into the legacy
interrupt controller to facilitate booting from devices residing on the far side of such PCI bridge
devices. Once the boot process is complete and the APIC interrupt system is enabled, devices no
longer need to share interrupts; This improves interrupt system performance.
The BIOS initializes and enables both the 8259 and APIC but masks all APIC interrupts in the
redirection table. This is so the SBC operates in legacy interrupt mode. The BIOS does not operate
in APIC mode at any time. An APIC-aware OS disables the 8259 and unmasks the APIC interrupts
to switch to APIC mode.
Table 22 displays the interrupt connections provided by the MPCBL0001 SBC. Actual interrupt
vector assignments and routing to legacy interrupts as necessary is under BIOS and/or OS control.

Error Reporting
The MCH handles error reporting from the memory subsystem. Errors consist of correctable and
uncorrectable bit errors. The ECC algorithms used are capable of correcting any number of bit
errors contained within a 4-bit nibble. In addition, any number of bit errors contained within two 4-
bit nibbles is detected. The MCH communicates these errors to the ICH3 via special cycles over the
hub link interface. These special cycles indicate to the ICH3 that an MCH-detected error has
occurred. The MCH special cycle communicates the type of event that should be generated by the
ICH3 when an error is detected. Selection for the generation of an SERR, SMI, or SCI event is
provided. Status for these reported errors is then found in the MCH DRAM_FERR (first error) and
DRAM_NERR (next error) status registers. Refer to the MCH data sheet for more information (see
Correctable memory errors generate an SMI and are logged via IPMI as a SEL. Non-correctable
errors first generate an SMI (which generates a SEL) and then an NMI.
Each P64H2 device reports the PCI errors that occur on the buses to which it is attached. These
consist of the PCI error assertions of the PERR# or SERR# signals. The errors are reported by
sending the DO_SERR special cycle to the MCH on the Hub Interface. The MCH forwards the
error to the ICH3, which generates the appropriate error condition to the processor(s) such as NMI,
SMI, or SCI.
PCI address parity errors are considered catastrophic and may abort further data transfers by the
P64H2 if that is the programmed response. Parity/ECC is checked on both the Hub Interface and
PCI bus transactions. PCI data parity errors are considered less severe and allow transactions to
continue. Data parity errors cause the Detected Parity Error” status to be logged and, if enabled, the
DO_SERR special cycle is transmitted. In a transaction where a data error occurs, the data being
forwarded to the next bus is “poisoned” to ensure the error follows the data to its destination.
Poisoned data has bad parity or multi-bit ECC errors introduced before being forwarded to the next
bus.
PCI assertions of the SERR# signal also result in the DO_SERR special cycle being generated on
the hub interface when enabled. Other potential causes for a DO_SERR special cycle include:
• Parity errors on the target bus during a write.
• A master timeout on a delayed transaction.
• The occurrence of a PCI master abort cycle.
Refer to the P64H2 Data Sheet, section 4.9, for more information on error handling. For details on
obtaining this document, see Appendix A, “Reference Documents.”
The ICH3 device has the ability to report PCI and hub link errors directly to the processors. When
a PERR# or SERR# occurs on the ICH3 local PCI bus, the ICH3 can be programmed to generate
NMI or SMI. The ICH3 also fields messages from the MCH and its attached hub devices to
indicate errors to the processors on their behalf. The messages may request SMI#, SCI, NMI, or
SERR3 to be asserted. Software must check the MCH and attached hub devices to determine the
exact cause of the error. Refer to the ICH3 Data Sheet for more information on error handling and
generation. For details on obtaining this document, see Appendix A, “Reference Documents.”

ACPI
ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play
functions of a computer. The use of ACPI with theMPCBL0001 SBC requires an operating system
that provides ACPI support. ACPI features include:
• Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration) and APM support (normally contained
in the BIOS).
• Power management control of individual devices, add-in boards (some PMC cards may
require an ACPI-aware driver), and hard-disk drives.
• A soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power off the computer.
• Support for an IPMC firmware command switch.
3.11.1
System States and Power States
Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state transitions. The
operating system puts devices in and out of low-power states based on user preferences and
knowledge of how devices are being used by applications. Devices that are not being used can be
turned off. The operating system uses information from applications and user settings to put the
system as a whole into a low-power state.
Table 23, “Power States and Targeted System Power” on page 58 lists the power states and the
associated system power targets supported by the MPCBL0001 SBC. See the ACPI Specification
for a complete description of the various system and power states.

3.12.1
Reset Logic
The following topics describe the two types of reset requests and the boot relationships among
them. The two types of reset requests available on the MPCBL0001 are:
• Hard reset request (always results in a cold boot)
• Soft reset request (can result in either a warm or cold boot)
A hard reset request occurs whenever the processor Reset line is asserted and then deasserted. A
soft reset occurs whenever an assertion occurs on the processor Init line. Whenever a soft reset
request occurs, the BIOS checks two memory locations to determine whether to initiate a warm
boot while leaving main memory intact or a cold boot that clears memory.
Whenever the BIOS detects that the reset is either a hard reset or a cold boot, it specifically clears
the memory location 40h:72h so it does not contain a 1234h. Under warm boot conditions, this
memory location contains a 1234h (the developer’s application writes this value in this location
[using /dev/mem] when it is started). If a hard reset occurs (as defined in the hard reset topic
below), it is certain that the 40h:72h location contains a non-1234h value.
3.12.2
Hard Reset Request
A Hard Reset, or CPU Reset, is defined as the assertion of the processor reset signal (see Table 24,
“Reset Request” on page 60). This initializes the processor state and registers, disables internal
caches, and causes the processor to unconditionally begin execution from the reset vector. A hard
reset is initiated by the following events:
1. A power up of the SBC. The SMC enables the onboard power supplies.
2. The SMC negates the ICH3_PWROK signal (see Note below).
3. A “reset” command from the Port CF9h I/O register (refer to the “Intel® 82801CA I/O
Controller Hub 3 (ICH3-S) Datasheet” for information about this register).
Timers (WDTs)” on page 64 for more information.
5. Watchdog timer (WDT #3) expires after failure to perform the first instruction fetch.
6. A command (cmmset -l bladex -d powerstate -v reset) is issued from MPCMM0001.
Note: The IPMC can negate the dedicated signal ICH3_PWROK to initiate a processor reset.
ICH3_PWROK indicates whether power is OK. If the IPMC deasserts ICH3_PWROK, the
hardware asserts the processor reset lines.
3.12.3
Soft Reset Request
The assertion of the processor’s INIT signal causes a soft reset or “CPU INIT” (see Table 24,
“Reset Request” on page 60). The ICH3 is normally responsible for driving the INIT signal. A
CPU INIT event causes the processor(s) to fetch the reset vector at the next instruction boundary.
The majority of the processor and all of the cache states are unaffected by an INIT event.
After the INIT event, hardware may be reset (or not reset) under BIOS control. PCI buses are reset
using their respective bridge control registers. This signal is then level translated to the processor
compatible signal level. INIT may be caused by the following events:

Panel” on page 81 for its location.
2. A processor shutdown special cycle occurred.
3. An INIT command from Port 92h I/O register (refer to the Intel® 82801CA I/O Controller Hub
3 (ICH3-S) Datasheet for information about this register).
4. An INIT command from Port CF9h I/O register.
5. A keyboard reset command (ICH3 RCIN# signal asserted).
6. The IPMC may also directly assert the INIT signal; WDT #1 expires and is configured for a
soft reset.
7. Processor BIST is enabled and a hard reset is initiated from the Port CF9h register. This asserts
the INIT signal but is not classified as a soft reset since CPU reset is also asserted.
8. OS reboot commands (eg: "shutdown -r now" or "reboot" in Linux).
9. A processor INIT may also be initiated through an APIC “init” message. This message may
target a specific processor or all processors. This “init” is an internally generated event (No
INIT signal is asserted) so the IPMC is unable to detect this occurrence.
Note: The reset button (RESET_PB#) is an input to the IPMC. There are also IPMI commands to reset
the board and change power states through the software. However, the reset button is a last resort
because the user must be physically present at the chassis to reset the board.
After a Soft Reset/CPU Init, the BIOS code executes and determines if the reset is a warm boot or
a cold boot. A warm boot restarts the system and keeps memory above the 8 MByte boundary
intact. During a warm boot the MCH is not reset, allowing DRAM refresh to continue during and
over the soft reset event. A cold boot sets the state of all peripherals to the same state they would be
in if a hard reset were triggered.

3.12.4
Warm Boot
A warm boot occurs when the processor is booting after a soft reset request. To qualify as a warm
boot, the reset counter located at 40h:D0h must be non-zero (by default, the reset counter and reset
flag are initialized to 10 and 1234h by BIOS after a cold boot.) Execution starts at the reset vector.
The BIOS initializes and configures all devices except for memory. Memory contents remain intact
except for the first 8 MBytes. The BIOS uses the first 8 MBytes during POST, but does not modify
the reset flag or the reset counter. MCH is not reset, allowing DRAM refresh to continue during the
warm boot.
Note: On every warm boot, BIOS automatically decrements the reset counter by one. When the reset
counter reaches zero and the soft reset is initiated, a cold boot occurs instead of warm boot.

Cold Boot
Any soft reset that does not meet the configuration described in the preceding Warm Boot section is
classified as a cold boot. Execution starts at the reset vector, and BIOS initializes and configures all
devices, including memory subsystem, as if a hard reset had occurred. See Table 25, “Reset
During a cold boot the BIOS initializes the warm reset counter to 0x0A and clears the reset flag to
1234h. Software can then read the reset flag to determine the type of reset.

Power Good
When the MPCBL0001 SBC is inserted into the chassis, the hardware management circuitry is
“hot plugged.” The hardware management voltage is immediately applied, and the on-board IPMC
is reset. After the hardware management reset, the operation of the IPMC and full power-up of the
SBC are under firmware control.
Upon command to power on the module, the IPMC asserts the “power enable” signal to the on-
board DC/DC converters. Full power-up of the SBC is sequenced by hardware to ensure device-
specific power requirements are followed. Sequencing of specific voltages is required to ensure
that devices using multiple voltages are not damaged or stressed.

Next, the VRM power good is gated with the ICH3_PWROK signal in the ICH3 to produce the

As soon as the ICH3 device is powered, its PCI reset output is asserted. This reset output remains
asserted until all power good signals are present (indicated by the ICH3_PWROK signal), the

The IPMC is also capable of initiating this power-up or global reset by negating the
ICH3_PWROK signal. Additionally, devices on specific PCI buses may be independently reset by
software through their associated bridge devices.
When commanded to do so, the IPMC releases device and processor resets, and processor BIOS
execution and boot begins.

3.13.1
WDT #1
The first WDT (WDT #1) is a hardware timer in the IPMC. WDT #1 is IPMI compliant; its
interaction with the host processor BIOS or system software is accomplished through IPMI
commands over the Keyboard Controller Style (KCS) interface to the IPMC. The host processor
uses the Set Watchdog Timer message to configure WDT #1, then the Reset Watchdog Timer
message to strobe the timer.
WDT #1 can be set to any value between 100 ms and 6,553,600 ms in 100 ms intervals. Another
configuration parameter is an indicator of which software is controlling WDT #1. This has five
state settings:
1. BIOS FRB2: Used during fault-resilient booting to detect issues in the BIOS.
2. BIOS/POST: Used while the BIOS is running through its POST operations.
3. OS Load: Set by the BIOS just before an OS load, then reset by the OS (the OS must be
enabled to do so) when it finishes booting.
4. SMS/OS: Used by the system management software or the OS.
5. OEM: Used by any OEM software.

Contents
WDT #1 can also be configured to take various actions before timing out (for example, SMI, NMI,
nothing) or after timing out (for example, hard reset, power down, or power cycle). In addition, an
event can be logged into the SEL whenever the watchdog timer expires. If WDT #1 expires, the
IPMC is not reset. For more details on the watchdog timer commands and settings, see the IPMI
Specification version 1.5.
On power up, the initial state is that the IPMI WDT #1 is not running. Normally some code (BIOS
or OS level) must send the Reset Watchdog Timer command to start the timer running. The same
code sends a Set Watchdog Timer command first to set up the timer to a known state (see the IPMI
Specification for more details).
When WDT #1 times out, it logs an event into the SEL, provided that the “Don’t Log” flag is false
(see the IPMI 1.5 Specification for details). The SEL event also describes the timeout action taken.
If WDT #1 times out and causes a hard reset, the timer state is equivalent to the power-up state
(that is, not running; either BIOS or the OS must configure and start it). If the host processor is
reset (soft or hard) independent of WDT #1, the firmware disables the watchdog timer.
One of the actions BIOS takes very early in its code is to start the WDT #1 to monitor its boot
progress. When it finishes POST, the BIOS turns off WDT #1 during the OS load period.
WDT #1 parameters are altered according to BIOS control parameters, and WDT #1 is not running
when the OS first (re)starts. The BIOS sets WDT #1 to a length of time longer than the expected
POST time; therefore, BIOS does not actively strobe WDT #1. The flag that determines if a WDT
#1 reset must be hard or soft remains over any type of reset, since it is held in the microcontroller.
3.13.2
WDT #2
WDT #2 (implemented in a PLD) must be strobed by the IPMC firmware. If WDT #2 expires, it
isolates the SBC from the backplane IPMB buses and resets the IPMC. There is no method for the
processor to be explicitly notified that the IPMC is reset. Once the IPMC has reset, the main
processors can resume communication with the IPMC. The watchdog timer is set to trigger after 96
seconds, and the IPMC strobes it once a second.
WDT #2 is always running; that is, the counter is always counting. However, a PLD component
controls the IPMC reset and IPMB isolation associated with WDT #2 expiration, ignoring any
WDT event until the IPMC strobes/enables the LTC4300 IPMB interfaces.
3.13.3
WDT #3
WDT #3 is contained within the ICH3 device. This watchdog timer monitors the processor’s first
attempt to fetch an instruction after a power up or hard reset. If the processor has not fetched its
first instruction within the timeout period, the ICH3 resets the processors. Since the processor has
not begun any execution, the ICH3 uses a hard reset.

LED Status
3.14.1
Health LED
The MPCBL0001 SBC supports one bicolor health LED to indicate the SBC’s health status, i.e.,
whether a fault or error condition has been detected on the SBC. This LED is mounted on the front
faceplate and driven by the onboard IPMC. The health LED will only be driven to an error
condition (red) if there is a critical or non-recoverable (major or critical in AdvancedTCA
parlance) condition active on the SBC. Alarms could include exceeding sensor thresholds for
temperature and on-board logic voltages. The health LED remains red until the sensors return to a
normal operating value. Hard-drive failures, boot failures, etc. are not considered critical/major
IPMI states, so the IPMC does not explicitly set the health LED in these cases.
Note: The LED's error state color defaults to red, but the color can be overridden. using PICMG 3.0-
defined commands. Refer to Section 3.14.9, “Setting the Default Color for the OOS and Health

is not in service. Its back-end (payload) power could be OFF or ON. Often the OOS state is entered
when a critical fault occurs on the board. In this state, the back-end (payload) power is turned OFF.
A board could be in this state when its back-end power is OFF but healthy, or when a board is fully
powered but not yet deployed, or during the reset process.

Setting the Default Color for the OOS and Health LEDs
The current default color Health LED in any assertion event is RED. As for the OOS LED, the
default color is also RED if there is a fault or error condition.
With the latest IPMC Firmware 1.17, the user has the ability to set the default color to AMBER due
to geographical requirements. This default LED color will stay persistent upon IPMC reset.
The PICMG SetFRULedState command used with Function code 0xFC will now persistently save
the supplied explicit color and make it the new Local Control “Asserted” state color. This only
works with valid colors (not 0x0e or 0x0f).
So, for example, to set the default “Asserted” color of the Health LED from RED to AMBER, the
following IPMI command should be issued:
NetFn: 0x2C
PICMG 3.0 Extension
Cmd: 0x07

Serial Port Buffering Overview
Serial port buffering occurs when the IPMC on the blade reads and buffers characters coming from
a serial console port on the Super I/O chipset used in the SBC. This serial data could be from the
operating system, such as Linux, running on the blade. This data could then be read back via IPMI
commands via the shelf manager so that an operator can see a “snapshot” of the last few lines of
text output by the blade before it crashed or otherwise stopped working.
The buffer in the IPMC used to store the serial information is 2048 (0800h) bytes. It is big enough
to hold an 80x25 screen of data with a CR/LF pair at the end of 24 lines. When the buffer fills, it
wraps around so that the oldest data is overwritten by newer data.
The board uses a Super I/O controller that has two RS232 serial ports. The first port (COM1) is
routed to the front panel of the blade and has no connectivity to the IPMC. The second serial port
(COM2) is only connected directly to a serial port on the IPMC. Any data that needs to be buffered,
therefore, needs to be directed out the second serial port (COM2). Data coming from COM1 cannot
be monitored or buffered by the IPMC.
This feature also provides the capability to filter out certain ANSI escape sequences coming into
the serial port. This is so the buffer does not fill with escape sequences that provide no meaningful
content. This is particularly true of messages output by BIOS during startup. If only Linux output is
desired, then the filtering option is probably not needed.
When enabled, the filter prevents the buffering of the following escape sequences:

Using Serial Port Buffering
3.16.1.1
Configuring the Serial Port
In order for the IPMC to correctly buffer characters it receives from its serial port, the serial ports
on the IPMC and also the Super I/O Controller must be configured to use the same serial
parameters. This is currently not done automatically, and both sides must be configured separately.
The IPMC’s serial port baud rate is limited to five rates: 9600, 19200 (default), 38400, 57600, and
115200. Other IPMC serial port parameters such as number of data bits, parity, and number of stop
bits are fixed at 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit, respectively. The only settable parameter is
Baud Rate, which can be set and queried with a subset of the IPMI 1.5 commands Set Serial/
Modem Configuration and Get Serial/Modem Configuration. These commands require a Parameter
Selector code that determines which parameters will be set/queried. The only supported parameter
selector is 0x07 (IPMI Messaging Comm Settings). Any parameters that are set are saved in the
IPMC’s non-volatile memory and will be restored the next time the IPMC restarts.
Note that Flow Control and DTR Hang-up parameters have no effect on serial buffering. They
should be left at none and 0b respectively.

Setting the Super I/O’s serial port parameters varies as to which part of the operational sequence is
desired to be buffered: BIOS or system.
BIOS message buffering must be configured from the BIOS Setup screen that deals with Remote
Access. This is usually available from the Main BIOS Setup menu. The port must be set to COM2
and the Baud Rate and Flow Control must match what is sent to the IPMC via the Set Serial/
Modem Configuration command shown above.
System message buffering, such as Linux, requires that the system have a driver that can route
system messages to the COM2 port. For Linux, this port is usually /dev/ttyS1. Linux can be
configured to route the output of syslog to various places, including /dev/ttyS1, via the file /etc/
syslog.conf. Refer to the man page for syslog.conf for more details. Setting the operating
parameters of the serial port under Linux can be accomplished with the stty command (e.g., stty –F
/dev/ttyS1 19200). The serial port parameters should be configured in a startup script that the
system executes when it starts up. As with the BIOS description above, both the Baud Rate and
Flow Control parameters must match those set in the IPMC.

3.16.1.2
Configuration of Buffering/Filtering
Configuration of the Serial Buffering and Filtering features is accomplished with Intel-specific
(OEM) IPMI commands: Set Serial Buffer Configuration and Get Serial Buffer Configuration. The
Set Serial Buffer Configuration command can enable/disable both filtering and buffering.
The lower seven bits of the first byte of the Set Serial Buffer Configuration command are reserved
and should be set to 0. If the most significant bit (80h) is set, then the buffer will be cleared when
the parameters are set.
The second data byte defines which parameters will change and what they will change to. Bits 4
and 5 are mask bits that enable the usage of bits 1 and 0 respectively. If 00h is the value of this byte,
then no changes in configuration will happen. Bit 0 is used to enable/disable filtering and bit 1 is
for enabling/disabling buffering. A 00h value can be used when clearing the buffer without
changing any parameters.

Reading Buffered Data
The buffer has the capability to hold approximately 2048 characters. The buffer is circular so that
when it fills, it will automatically start overwriting the oldest data first. This provides a “snapshot”
of the last 2048 characters written to the COM2 port.

There is an Intel-specific command to read back the buffer data in chunks of 16 bytes. This
command requires a 16 bit offset into the buffer from which to read. System software can invoke
this command several times in order to read the entire buffer. A buffer offset of 0 refers to the start
of the oldest data in the buffer and not necessarily the physical start of the buffer.
The most significant bit of the first data byte should be set if it is desired to clear the serial buffer
after reading the data. The second and third data bytes are the 16 bit offset into the buffer (LSB
first) in which to read the data.
The response data starts with a reserved byte with a value of 0 and a second byte that indicates the
number of bytes of data following (length). If no bytes are available at the given offset, the length
byte will be 0. The number of bytes returned will be the maximum that can be read at the given
offset up to a maximum of 16 (10h).

Examples
Here are some examples of using these commands from the CMM’s command line.
1. Set the Serial Port Baud Rate to 115200 and Flow Control to none on blade13:
cmmset –l blade13 –d ipmicommand –v “0x0c 0x10 0x00 0x07 0x00 0x0A”
2. Enable buffering with no filtering and clear the buffer on blade13:
cmmset –l blade13 –d ipmicommand –v “0x30 0x32 0xB2”
3. Get characters from offset 0x260 in the buffer on blade13:
cmmset –l blade13 –d ipmicommand –v “0x30 0x30 0x00 0x60 0x02”
4. Clear the serial buffer with no other changes on blade13:
cmmset –l blade13 –d ipmicommand –v “0x30 0x32 0x80”
Here is a sample standalone bash script for the CMM to read the contents of the serial buffer into a
file on the CMM. The blade number is passed on the command line. Note that this script is very
slow to upload the data but gives an example of the procedure.

Backing Plate
The MPCBL0001 SBC has a rugged metal backing plate that forms a single-piece face plate. This
backing plate is made of 1.2 mm (0.048") steel which has been zinc post-plated to resist corrosion
and rust. The solid backing plate provides PCB stiffening, enhanced EMI protection from adjacent
boards, and protection during flame tests. The backing plate improves serviceability by making the
SBC more durable.
Four holes are provided in the bottom of the backing plate for mounting an optional hard drive in
the provided hard drive carrier (with the included M3 screws). Four additional holes are provided
for securing an optional PMC through the front or rear standard mounting positions.
Caution: Removing the backing plate can damage the components on the board and may void the warranty.
No user-serviceable parts are available under the PCB. Do not remove the face plate/backing plate.

Cooling Requirements
®
The Intel NetStructure MPCBL0001 High Performance Single Board Computer SBC should be
installed vertically in a chassis, with bottom-to-top airflow. Airflow is expected to be evenly
distributed across the bottom edge of the installed MPCBL0001 blade and maintain at least 300
LFM average airflow.
Most components on the MPCBL0001 blade are specified to operate with a localized ambient
temperature up to 70° C and do not require heat sinks. The MPCBL0001 blade uses two custom

BIOS Features
7
7.1
Introduction
®
The Intel NetStructure MPCBL0001 High Performance Single Board Computer SBC uses an
Intel/AMI BIOS, which is stored in flash memory and updated using a disk-based program. In
addition to the BIOS and BIOS setup program, the flash memory contains POST and Plug and Play
support.
The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision code. Refer
to the specification update for the latest default settings.
7.2
BIOS Flash Memory Organization
MPCBL0001 contains two Firm Ware Hub (FWH) devices (see Figure 1, “Block Diagram” on
page 17). The first one is the Primary FWH, which holds the BIOS code that executes during
POST. The second is the Backup FWH, which recovers the system when the Primary FWH is
corrupted. The N82802AC FWH includes an 8 Mbit (1024 KByte) symmetrical flash memory
device. Internally, the device is grouped into sixteen 64-KByte blocks that are individually
erasable, lockable, and unlockable.
7.3
Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor
(CMOS)
CMOS RAM is a nonvolatile storage that stores data needed by the BIOS. The data consists of
certain onboard configurable settings, including time and date. CMOS resides in the ICH3 and is
powered by the Supercap when the blade is power off. The settings in the BIOS setup menu are
stored in the CMOS RAM and are often called CMOS settings.
7.3.1
Copying and Saving CMOS Settings
The BIOS/CMOS flash update utility (flashlnx or flashdos) loads a fresh copy of the BIOS into
flash ROM. It has the capability to save the CMOS settings from the MPCBL0001 SBC. The
CMOS settings file can be copied to a file. This file can be saved in a directory specified by the
user. The filename also can be specified by user, such as CMOS.BIN.
With the BIOS/CMOS flash utility and CMOS.bin file, user is able to copy CMOS settings to
another MPCBL0001 SBC, thus minimizing the effort to reconfigure the preferred CMOS settings
across all boards.
This BIOS/CMOS flash utility that is designed to run under MontaVista* Carrier Grade Linux* 3.0
should be on the local hard disk of the MPCBL0001. Any user who is able to communicate with
the MPCBL0001 via Telnet would be able to execute to copy and save the CMOS remotely.

Contents
The utility is part of the BIOS release package and can be downloaded from the Intel web site at
Chapter 10, “Operating the Unit,” for more information.
7.4
Redundant BIOS Functionality
MPCBL0001 hardware has two flash banks for BIOS where redundant copies are stored. BIOS
bank selection logic is connected to the IPMC, and the IPMC firmware allows selection of the
BIOS bank.
By default, firmware selects BIOS bank 0. BIOS executes code off this flash and performs
checksum validation of its operational code. This checksum occurs in the boot block of the BIOS.
If the boot block detects a checksum failure in the remainder of the BIOS, it notifies the IPMC of
the failure. In case of failure, the IPMC firmware:
1. Asserts the RESET pin on the processor.
2. Switches the flash bank.
3. Deasserts the RESET pin on the processor, allowing BIOS to execute off the second flash
bank.
7.5
System Management BIOS (SMBIOS)
SMBIOS is a Desktop Management Interface-compliant method for managing computers in a
managed network.
The main component of SMBIOS is the management information format database, which contains
information about the computing system and its components. Using SMBIOS, a system
administrator can obtain the following information for system components:
• System types.
• Capabilities.
• Operational status.
• Installation dates.
The management information format database defines the data and provides the method for
accessing this information. The BIOS enables applications such as third-party management
software to use SMBIOS. The BIOS stores and reports the following SMBIOS information:
• BIOS data, such as the BIOS revision level.
• Fixed-system data, such as peripherals, serial numbers, and asset tags.
• Resource data, such as memory size, cache size, and processor speed.
Non-Plug and Play operating systems, such as Linux or Windows NT*, require an additional
interface for obtaining the SMBIOS information. The BIOS supports an SMBIOS table interface
for such operating systems. Using this support, an SMBIOS service-level application running on a
non-Plug and Play operating system can obtain the SMBIOS information.

7.6
Legacy USB Support
Legacy USB support enables USB devices such as keyboards, mice, and hubs to be used even
when the operating system’s USB drivers are not yet available. Legacy USB support is used to
access the BIOS Setup program and install an operating system that supports USB. Legacy USB
support is set to Enabled by default.
Note: Legacy USB support is for keyboards, mice and hubs only. Other USB devices are not supported in
legacy mode except bootable devices like CD-ROM drives and floppy disk drives.
Legacy USB support operates as follows:
1. When you apply power to the computer, legacy support is disabled.
2. POST begins.
3. Legacy USB support is enabled by the BIOS, allowing you to use a USB keyboard.
4. POST completes.
5. The operating system loads. USB keyboards and mice are recognized and may be used to
configure the operating system. Keyboards and mice are not recognized during this period if
Legacy USB support was set to Disabled in the BIOS Setup program.
6. After the operating system loads the USB drivers, all legacy and non-legacy USB devices are
recognized by the operating system. Legacy USB support from the BIOS is no longer used.
To install an operating system that supports USB, verify that Legacy USB support in the BIOS
Setup program is set to Enabled and follow the operating system’s installation instructions.
7.7
BIOS Updates
The BIOS can be updated using either of the following utilities, which are available on the Intel
Web site:
• Intel® Linux* BIOS Update utility, which enables automated updating while in the Linux
environment. Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from:
— A file on a hard disk
— 1.44 MByte diskette
— CD-ROM
— The file location on the Web
®
• Intel DOS* BIOS Update utility, which enables automated updating while in the DOS
environment.
Both utilities support the following BIOS maintenance functions:
• Updating the main BIOS.
• Verifying that the updated BIOS matches the target system to prevent accidentally installing an
incompatible BIOS.
Note: Review the instructions distributed with the upgrade utility before attempting a BIOS update.

7.8
Recovering BIOS Data
Some types of failure can destroy the BIOS. For example, the data can be lost if a power outage
occurs while the BIOS is being updated in flash memory. The BIOS can be recovered from Backup
BIOS. Recovery mode is active when BIOS checksum fails and notifies the IPMC to failover to the
backup BIOS.
7.9
Boot Options
In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from available boot devices, with each
boot device having options for removable media, CD-ROM, hard drive, IBA2, or IBA1. In every
POST, the BIOS detects all available boot devices, then displays them on the boot order screen,
with the exception of the IBA, which displays even if the LAN cable is not connected.
The default settings are:
• 1st Boot Device: removable media
• 2nd Boot Device: CD-ROM
• 3rd Boot Device: hard drive
®
• 4th Boot Device: IBA2 - Intel Boot Agent (IBA) 2
®
• 5th Boot Device: IBA1 - Intel Boot Agent (IBA) 1
7.9.1
CD-ROM and Network Boot
Booting from CD-ROM is supported in compliance with the El Torito bootable CD-ROM format
specification. Under the Boot menu in the BIOS Setup program, USB CD-ROM is listed as a boot
device (removable media). Boot devices are defined in priority order.
Accordingly, if there is not a bootable CD in the CD-ROM drive, the system attempts to boot from
the next defined drive.
®
The network can be selected as a boot device. This Intel Boot Agent (IBA) selection allows
booting from the onboard LANs if connected to a network. Typically, MPCBL0001's Gigabit
Ethernet is routed through the AdvancedTCA backplane to the front panel of an AdvancedTCA
switch, which is then connected to a LAN.
7.9.2
Booting without Attached Devices
For use in embedded applications, the BIOS has been designed so that after passing the POST, the
operating system loader is invoked even if the video adapter (via PMC), keyboard, or mouse are
not present:

Fast Booting Systems
7.10.1
Quick Boot
Use of the following BIOS Setup program settings reduces the POST execution time.
In the Boot Menu:
• Disable Option—ROM(s) if the user configuration does not use IBA(PXE) boot, or there is no
Fibre Channel drive in the system.
• Disable Quiet Boot eliminates display of the logo splash screen. This could save several
seconds of painting complex graphic images and changing video modes.
• Enable Quick Boot bypasses memory count and the search for a removable drive.
Note: It is possible to optimize the boot process to the point where the system boots so quickly that the
Intel logo screen (or a custom logo splash screen, if implemented) is be seen. Monitors and hard
disk drives with minimum initialization times can also contribute to a boot time that might be so
fast that necessary logo screens and POST messages cannot be seen.
Note: This boot time may be so fast that some drives might be not be initialized at all. If this occurs, it is
possible to introduce a programmable delay ranging from 3 to 30 seconds using the BIOS Setup
program, IDE Configuration Submenu, Advanced Menu, IEDE Detect Time Out feature.
7.11
BIOS Security Features
The BIOS includes security features that restrict access to the BIOS Setup program and booting the
computer. A supervisor password and a user password can be set for the BIOS Setup program and
for booting the computer, with the following restrictions:
• The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all the Setup options in
the BIOS Setup program. This is the supervisor mode.
• The user password gives restricted access to view and change Setup options in the BIOS Setup
program. This is the user mode.
• If only the supervisor password is set, pressing the <Enter> key at the password prompt of the
BIOS Setup program allows the user restricted access to Setup.
• If both the supervisor and user passwords are set, users can enter either the supervisor
password or the user password to access Setup. Users have access to Setup respective to which
password is entered.
• Setting the user password restricts who can boot the computer. The password prompt is
displayed before the computer is booted. If only the supervisor password is set, the computer
boots without asking for a password. If both passwords are set, the user can enter either
password to boot the computer.
The table below shows the effects of setting the supervisor password and user password. This table
is for reference only and is not displayed on the screen.

Explanation of Error Message
Timer Error
This timer is based on 8254 resides in ICH-3. Error message indicates an error while
programming the count register of the timer. This may indicate a problem with the timer in
ICH-3
CMOS Battery
Low
BIOS will report this error message when status bit (RTC_REGD.Bit7) in ICH3 is low. This
bit is hardwired to RTC power, so it will be low when the voltage in SuperCAP is low.
CMOS Settings BIOS will load default value after it detects CMOS corruption. Error message is triggered if
Wrong
BIOS fails to load the default value to CMOS.
CMOS
CMOS contents failed the checksum check. Error message indicates that the CMOS data
Checksum Bad has been changed by a program other than the BIOS or the CMOS is not retaining it's data
due to hardware malfunction
RAM R/W test
failed
Error message indicates BIOS fail to read/write to memory content during RAM R/W test.
RAM R/W test is executed during POST.
CMOS Date/

Error message appears when BIOS issue an IPMI command to IPMC, but IPMC is not
responsive to the command and does not return successful completion code to BIOS.
System Event
Log is Full
Error message indicates the System Event Log storage is full.
Refresh timer
test failed
This timer is a counter based on 82C54 which provides memory refresh request signal
periodically. Memory content need to be refreshed to compensate for the gradual leakage
of charge from the capacitors which stores the data.
KBC BAT Test
failed
Error message indicates that Keyboard controller BAT test has failed.
Note: If user enabled "Wait for F1 Error" under BIOS setup screen and any of the above error message
was observed, the BIOS will wait for user input before proceeding with the boot up except:

Port 80h POST Codes
During the POST, the BIOS generates diagnostic progress codes (POST-codes) to I/O port 80h. If
the POST fails, execution stops and the last POST code generated is left at port 80h. This code is
useful for determining the point where an error occurred.
Displaying the POST codes requires an add-in card, often called a POST card (PCI, not ISA). The
POST card decodes the port and displays the contents on a medium such as a seven-segment
display.
They define the uncompressed INIT code checkpoints, the boot block recovery code checkpoints,
and the runtime code uncompressed in F000 shadow RAM.
Note: Some codes are repeated in the tables because they apply to more than one operation.

BIOS Image Updates
At times, new BIOS images will be released to add additional features to the SBC. The release
package contains the flash utility, which comes in two versions. They are "flashdos" for DOS and
"flashlnx" for Linux OS. The package also contains the BIOS ROM image. Below is a step-by-step
procedure on how to update the BIOS:
1. Copy the flash utility and the Pxx-xxxx.rom file to a DOS bootable floppy disk.
2. Boot MPCBL0001from a USB floppy disk (connected to the USB port) to a DOS prompt.
3. Copy flash utility and BIOS ROM image to RAM disk, which is automatically generated
(C: drive).
4. Issue the command "flashdos /b Pxx-xxxx (xx= build type version, xxxx=build identifier).
5. Enter "Y" to overwrite the BIOS on the board.
6. Enter "Y" to clear the current COMS settings on the board.
7. Enter "Y" to reboot the system after the BIOS has been upgraded successfully.
10.3
Procedures to Copy and Save BIOS (Including
CMOS Settings)
The CMOS settings, together with the BIOS binary image, can be copied to a file with a file name
specified by the user.
10.3.1
Copying BIOS.bin from the SBC
1. Copy the flashlnx utility to the SBC running MontaVista* Carrier Grade Linux*. (This SBC is
the one with custom CMOS settings that will be used to update other SBCs.)
2. Issue the command “./flashlnx -r -afff20000 -s917504 BIOS.bin” to copy the BIOS with the
customized CMOS settings to the same directory from which flashlnx is executed. All user-
preferred settings (including the BIOS image) will be saved in the file named BIOS.bin.
Note: “BIOS.bin” is a generic file name used here to illustrate the command line used to perform the
operation. The user may wish to use the BIOS version (e.g., P08-0021.bin) as the file name instead
of BIOS.bin.

Saving BIOS.bin to the SBC
1. Copy the flashlnx utility and BIOS.bin to the SBC running MontaVista Carrier Grade Linux.
2. Execute “chmod +x flashlnx” to change the file attribute to executable form.
3. Execute “./flashlnx -b -zc BIOS.bin” to copy the BIOS.bin file to the FWH and CMOS.
4. Upon completion, perform a reset to ensure the new CMOS settings and BIOS are loaded.
Caution: To ensure that the BIOS.bin file is not corrupted, Intel strongly suggests performing these steps
before major deployment of any SBCs running in a live network environment.

Before upgrading the main BIOS (FWH0), a user can create a mirror image where it copies all the
operational codes and CMOS settings to the Redundant BIOS Flash bank. This is suggested to
ensure the user preserves a copy of the old BIOS image before updating the main BIOS.
The syntax “./flashlnx –m” can be used to initiate this transfer. Refer to the suggested method in

Serial Over Lan (SOL)
Serial Over Lan (SOL)
11
Serial over LAN (SOL) is a packet format and protocol defined in the IPMI v2.0 specification for
transmitting serial port data over Ethernet using IPMI over LAN (RMCP+) messages. This two-
way redirection of a blade’s serial port data over Ethernet is independent of the operating system or
any applications executing on it. The BIOS also supports redirection of its console over serial port,
which can be redirected over the network for remote access.
The SOL mechanism, coupled with a SOL client utility executing on a remote node, allows
viewing of serial port data from any IPMI v2.0 based, SOL-enabled blade, thus providing a virtual
remote terminal server for accessing the blade’s serial port character stream.
Note: 1) This feature is supported on all MPCBL0001N04 boards with TA# C13354-013 (or above) and
MPCBL0001F04 boards with TA# C55360-014 (or above) only.
2) The latest BIOS - Version P13-0028 (or above) and IPMC firmware - Version 1.17 (or above) is
needed to ensure this feature works.

SOL Architecture
®
The SOL implementation on the Intel NetStructure MPCBL0001 blade is based on the definition
in Section 15 of the IPMI v2.0 specification.
Serial over LAN (SOL) enables suitably designed blades and servers to transparently redirect serial
character stream of a baseboard UART to/from a remote client via LAN over RMCP+ sessions.
This enables users at remote consoles to access the serial port of a blade/server and interact with a
text-based BIOS console, operating system, command line interfaces, and serial text-based
applications.

Serial Over Lan (SOL)
Figure 29 is a block diagram of the SOL implementation on the blade:

SOL Block Diagram
This architecture requires the following three components to perform Serial over LAN operations.
1. SOL capable firmware executing on the Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC).
The IPMC also provides a dedicated SMBus connection to base interface Ethernet controller.
2
This connectivity is not shared with IPMB-0 or any other I C/SMBus/IPMB connections that
the IPMC may provide on the blade for hardware management.
2. Base interface Ethernet controller that provides a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) sideband
interface to IPMC over which SOL traffic is redirected. The Ethernet controller also filters
packets based on either MAC address, RMCP port number, or IP address and forwards them to
IPMC over the sideband interface.
3. Client software running on any remote node that has LAN access to the blade whose serial port
data is to be accessed. The IPMC is responsible for controlling the serial hardware MUX, the

interface to the blade’s serial port (COM2). This interface is used by the IPMC firmware to receive
the blade’s serial port data written by BIOS or the operating system or to write date to the blade’s
serial port. The serial port may be connected to either a front panel RJ-45 connector or to the IPMI
controller. Switching of the serial port between front-panel and the IPMC’s UART is automatically
detected by the BIOS.
IPMC also provides a dedicated SMBus connection to the Ethernet controller, whose ports are
connected to the base Ethernet interface.
The KCS interface is used for interaction between IPMC firmware and software executing on the
OS (for example, OpenIPMI or OpenHPI) by sending/receiving IPMI messages, and does not play
a role during SOL communication. The KCS interface, however, may be used for SOL-related
IPMC configuration, as described below.
11.2.1.2
Ethernet Controller
The Ethernet controller provides advanced pass-through mode of operation whereby the controller
allows the external IPMC to communicate over the Ethernet ports using a sideband SMBus port
called a TCO port.
The Ethernet controller is available with the payload power, so the viewing of serial data console
can be visible to a user after the board reaches the M4 state.
11.2.2
BIOS
For Serial Over LAN to work, the latest BIOS release (BIOS P13-0028) is required to control the
serial port switching between COM1 and COM2. The BIOS will switch the serial redirection path
between COM1 and COM2 according to the following table.

Serial Over Lan (SOL)
From the table above, the serial over LAN can only be activated if a user configures the BIOS
correctly. By default, the console redirection setting is enabled and the SOL support is set to
“Disabled”.
If a user has a serial session active via the front panel and a user initiates a SOL session on this
blade, the serial data on the front panel will be deactivated automatically. The serial data will be
sent via the LAN interface to the SOL client system. On the serial console connected to the front
panel, the BIOS will send the message “Serial Over LAN session is active” to inform the active
user that the serial data has been switched.
11.3
Theory of Operation
11.3.1
Front Panel Serial Port
By default, the serial console data will be connected to the front panel.
11.3.2
Serial Over LAN
The SOL feature is disabled by default at manufacturing time. A user needs to configure the
relevant SOL settings using the reference_cfg script supplied in the IPMC Firmware 1.17 release
package (downloadable from this website under “Software Downloads”: http://support.intel.com/
With the reference_cfg file, a user can use this script to configure the serial port settings (baud rate,
parity bits, data bits, stop bits, flow control), user name and password for RMCP+ sessions. Refer
details on this script
The IP address to be used by IPMC can be configured at initial setup of the blade in the system.
The IP address, once configured, is stored in a non-volatile memory and is persistent across IPMC
update and payload resets. IP addresses are assigned to the IPMC independently of the host (OS) IP
addresses and they need not match. IP addresses used by the OS are not visible to the IPMC.
To start SOL communication, the user invokes the SOL client utility with the IP address of the
blade and a series of authentication parameters (username, password, privilege level, cipher suite,
etc). The IPMI v2.0 specification allows for AES encryption algorithms for encryption of payload
data sent over the network, including AES-128, which uses 128-bit cipher keys.
The SOL client utility initializes a RMCP+ session with the blade and activates SOL. When
authentication is successfully completed, IPMC firmware collects serial port data from the blade’s
serial port, formats it into network packets, and forwards it to the SOL client utility over the SOL
session. The SMBus TCO port between the IPMC and base interface Ethernet controller is used for
this purpose. The SOL client utility receives the packets, extracts the serial port data, and displays
it on the screen. The IPMC extracts the serial port data received from the SOL client utility and
writes it to the serial port of the blade. This allows network redirection of blade’s serial port data
stream independent of the host OS or BIOS. The Ethernet controller plays a critical role in
redirecting the packets meant for the IPMC, based on receive filters.

Serial Over Lan (SOL)
The maximum baud rate supported by the IPMC for SOL is 115.2 kbps. There will be a minimal
improvement between the baud rate of 19.2kbps to 115.2kbps. This is due to a combination of all
the software overhead of creating/breaking down IP packets in the IPMC as well as a slower link
between the IPMC and the NIC (I2C).
If a user configures the SOL configuration without modifying the reference_cfg file, the default
baud rate is 9.6 kbps.
Note: The BIOS default baud rate is 9.6 kbps, so if SOL is configured for a different baud rate, the BIOS
output will not be seen using the SOL client until the BIOS baud rate is set to match the SOL client
baud rate.
11.4
Utilities
The SOL client establishes an IPMI-over-LAN connection with the IPMC on the blade. It then
activates SOL, which effectively switches the board hardware to redirect serial traffic to the IPMC
instead of the serial port. Any outbound characters from the UART now are packetized by the
IPMC and sent over the network to the SOL client via the TCO port. Conversely, any input on the
SOL client is packetized by the client and sent over the network to the IPMC, which is responsible
for conveying it to the UART.
SOL data is carried over the network in UDP datagrams. IPMI 2.0 defines the specification of
packet formats and protocols for SOL. As per the IPMI 2.0 specification, RMCP+ is the packet
format when the Payload Type is set to “SOL”. Authentication, integrity, and encryption for SOL
are part of the RMCP+ specification.
Two utilities are provided to support configuring the SOL capability on the MPCBL0001 SBC
blade. .
• ipmitool – an SOL client utility (must be version 1.8.7 or above). This tool can be downloaded
• reference_cfg – a SOL configuration reference script.
• reference_func - a library function file for reference_cfg
The SOL configuration reference script (reference_cfg) sends a sequence of IPMI commands to
configure an SBC to enable the SOL feature. This script can be executed on a payload CPU for
local configuration, or on a node that has network connectivity to the target SBC. Without this
IPMC configuration, the SOL client utility will not be able to communicate with the SBC. This
script is provided to customers as an example of a semi-automated method to configure systems
and is not meant for use in production environments.
The ipmitool utility enables a user to establish a RMCP+ session with a SBC’s management
controller and activate two-way SOL packet communication.
It is important to note that while ipmitool is a supported utility, reference_cfg is provided as an
unsupported reference to be modified at will by customers to suit their specific environments and
integration needs.

Supported Usage Model
Customers are expected to use Serial Over LAN to accomplish the following:
• BIOS console redirection
• As a remote terminal for OS setup and viewing text console output
The ipmitool utility runs on a remote network node and communicates over the LAN interface. The
remote node and the target SBC may be on the same subnet or on different subnets.
The reference script can be run on the remote node.

11.5.1
Configuring the Blade for SOL
In order to configure a blade for SOL, the machine on which the configurator is installed (typically
the remote node) needs to establish an RMCP connection with the SBC. The configurator sends
commands and configuration settings to the SBC in order to configure and enable SOL operation.
In order to configure a blade for SOL, reference_cfg needs to run either on the same blade as the
IPMC and communicate via the KCS interface, or on a remote node. In the latter case, the script
sends IPMI messages over the LAN to the SBCs shelf manager, which in turn bridges data to the
IPMC’s IPMB-0 interface.
The minimal per-blade configuration that must be set up includes the following:
• an IP/MAC address, subnet mask, default gateway
• ARP configuration
• user ID and password to authenticate access
• channel, user, payload, and SOL privilege levels
The configuration utility is referring to the reference_cfg script described above.

Installation and Configuration
11.6.1
SOL Configuration Reference Script (reference_cfg)
The reference script can run with no special setup. The script uses built-in bash commands as well
as grep and awk. The environment in which the script runs must have bash installed at /bin/bash (or
a symbolic link at that location), and must include grep and awk in the path.
The reference script is implemented as two separate bash files: reference_cfg, which contains the
necessary IPMI commands, and reference_func, a library of supporting functions. The scripts need
to be extracted from the included tar archive file “reference_cfg-1.3.0.2.tar” and copied/moved to
appropriate directories. The recommended locations for these files are as follows:
/usr/lib/sbcutils/reference_funcs
/usr/bin/reference_cfg
The reference_cfg file looks in three specific places for the reference_func file:
• the current working directory
• /usr/lib/sbcutils
• /home/scripts
If reference_cfg cannot find the reference_func file in any of these locations, it terminates with an
error message. The reference_cfg file may actually be located in any directory that is in the user's
execution path.
When running the reference script on a remote node over RMCP via a shelf manager, RMCP to
IPMB bridging must be enabled on the shelf manager. If using the Intel NetStructure®
MPCMM0001 Chassis Management Module Shelf Manager, then the cmdPrivillige.ini file
included in the tar archive needs to be installed in the /etc directory of the Shelf Manager. This is
needed to ensure that the RMCP Server on the Shelf Manager will correctly forward the
configuration commands to the blade.
Note: When executing the reference_cfg script to configure the MPCBL0001 blade, you must specify the
“-g” option on the command line. This enables Gratuitous ARPs from the blade. Not specifying
this switch will result in the script exiting with an error. If it is not desirable to have the blade emit
Gratuitous ARPs, then a seperate command will need to be issued to disable them.
RMCP and KCS communication requires the OpenIPMI application library, version 1.4 or later.
KCS communication further requires the OpenIPMI driver.
11.6.2
SOL Client (ipmitool)

Serial Over Lan (SOL)
HostIP = IP address of the ethernet interface on the IPMC (MPCBL0001 blade) that has been
configured for SOL access.
UserName = User name of an authorized SOL client user. The configuration helper
“reference_cfg” creates such a client with UserName = solusername.
Password = Password assigned for ‘UserName’. The configuration helper “reference_cfg” assigns
Password = soluserpassword for UserName = solusername.
Note: Using the “-C 0” parameter can be helpful when testing or investigating SOL connectivity issues.
This forces the use of CipherSuite 0, which means that all text, including exchange of the session
password, will be in clear text. If this is not specified, ipmitool and the IPMC will negotiate to use
the highest security compatible cipher suite.
For more information on the ipmitool, see http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net
11.6.3
BIOS and OS Configuration
If a user requires access to BIOS setup menus via SOL, the BIOS must be configured manually for
SOL.
In the BIOS configuration menu, “Redirection After BIOS POST” shall be set to “ALWAYS”. The
terminal type should be “ANSI” and the “Send Carriage Return” and “VT-UTF8 Combo Key
Support” options should both be disabled. The serial channel must be set to hardware flow control,
and a bit rate of 9.6 kbps.
Note: The BIOS bit rate must match the rate configured by the reference script.
All BIOS settings listed above must be set manually. The SOL configuration script does not alter
BIOS settings, only IPMC settings.
If a user requires access to the operating system (OS) via SOL, the OS must be configured for SOL.
OS configuration for SOL is outside of the scope of this document. Areas of configuration required
for operating systems include the boot loader, kernel, serial port (bit rate, start/stop/data bits, flow
control, interrupts), a login monitoring process (for example, getty), and serial-aware utilities. See
information.

The user name is “solusername”, zero-padded to a length of 16 bytes as per the IPMI specification.
The password is “soluserpassword”, zero-padded to 20 bytes as per the IPMI 2.0 extension.
LAN Parameters
The reference script configures IPMI channel one. The IPMI channel number used by
reference_cfg can be changed to any IPMI LAN channel supported by the target SBC.
For the MPCBL0001 SBC, channels one and two are LAN channels on the Base Interface and are
enumerated by the OS as eth0 and eth1, respectively.
Since reference_cfg uses IPMI channel one, this means that for any SBC, eth0 will be routed to a
switch in slot seven (may vary on different chassis implementations). If a user needs to route the
serial data over IPMI LAN channel 2 (eth1 on the OS level), then the LAN channel default value in
the reference_cfg script shall be changed to “2”.
Since the IPMC must directly send and receive IP packets (RMCP+), it needs certain information
about its LAN connection in order to fill in the packets correctly. It gets this information via the Set
LAN Configuration Parameters command. This one command can set many parameters based on
the value of the Parameter Selector byte in the command. The following table shows which
Parameter Selectors are necessary for establishing an SOL session. Note that each table entry
requires a separate instance of the command.

Serial Over Lan (SOL)
IP and MAC addresses supplied to the IPMC are specified on the command line as specified in
Table 104. IP source is set to “static” and the subnet mask is set for a class C subnet. The Gateway
IP and MAC address should be specified in the command to enable RMCP communication across
subnets. If the IP or MAC address options are missing from the command line, those parameters
will not be changed on the IPMC.
If VLAN (802.1q) is being used, then the 12 bit VLAN ID must be configured and bit 7 of the
VLAN ID MSB must be set. When VLAN is enabled, all incoming packets must have a VLAN ID
matching the configured 12 bit VLAN ID value. Incoming packets without a VLAN header will be
dropped when VLAN is enabled. The priority field in incoming VLAN packets is ignored. All
outgoing packets will have the specified VLAN ID and priority values inserted into the MAC
header.

SOL Parameters
The SOL payload type is enabled with a privilege level of operator. Neither payload encryption nor
payload authentication is forced. Serial characters are accumulated for as long as 40 milliseconds
or as many as 50 characters. SOL packets are retried every 100 milliseconds, up to seven times.
The SOL bit rate is 9.6 kbps.
Channel Parameters
Channel 1 is configured as “always available”, meaning that all RMCP traffic to the SBC LAN
adaptor is routed exclusively to the IPMC and not to system software.
For channel 1, User2 is enabled for general IPMI messaging (as opposed to SOL only messaging).
User2 has a privilege level of operator on channel 1.
11.7.6
Command Line Options
Available command-line options for the reference script are given in the following table.
SOL Configuration Reference Script Command-line Options
Table 104.
Option
-h
Meaning
“help” - display usage, version number and a list of options. When this option is specified, all other
options are ignored.
-l
“location” - specifies which blade to configure. When running on an Intel NetStructure
MPCMM0001 Chassis Management Module (CMM), this value should be one of
[“blade1”...“blade14”]. When running on a remote node, this value should be the IPMB address.
When running on the local processor, this option is ignored.
“MAC” - specifies what MAC address should be used to configure the blade. The MAC address
should be given in the form ##:##:##:##:##:## where “##” is a hexadecimal number from 00 to FF.
NOTE: The MAC address must match the actual MAC address of the LAN adaptor.
-m
-i
“IP” - specifies which IP address should be used to configure the blade. The IP address should be
given in the form ###.###.###.### where “###” is a decimal number from 0 to 255
-j
Specifies the IP address of the subnet’s gateway.
Specifies the MAC address of the subnet’s gateway.
-n
-g
“Gratuitous ARPs" - Turns on gratuitous ARPs. This switch must be specified for the MPCBL0001
blade.
