Power Consumption
The blade′s power requirements depend on the installed hardware accessories. If you
want to install accessories on the board, the load of the respective accessory has to be
added to that of the blade.In the following table you will find typical examples of power
requirements with and without accessories installed. For information on the accessories’
power requirements, refer to the documentation delivered together with the respective
accessory or consult your local Motorola representative for further details.aaaa
The blade must be connected to a TNV−2 or a safety−extra−low−voltage (SELV) circuit. A
TNV−2 circuit is a circuit whose normal operating voltages exceed the limits for a SELV
circuit under normal operating conditions, and which is not subject to overvoltages from
telecommunication networks.

PMC Modules
The blade provides four PMC slots supporting PCI/PCI−X based PMC modules. When
operated in PCI mode, PMC modules run at 33/66Mhz, when operated in PCI−X mode
they run at 66/100MHz. All four PMC slots use a signaling level of 3.3V.aaaaa
The four PMC slots are numbered from 1 to 4. Their location is shown in the following
figure.a
46
PENT/ATCA−717
On−Board Hardware Accessories
Installation
Figure 4: Location of PMC Slots
PMC slots 1 and 2 belong to one PCI segment and PMC slots 3 and 4 belong to another
PCI segment. Within the same PCI segment, it is possible to install two PMC modules of
different modes (PCI/PCI−X) and speeds (33/66/100 MHz). The PMC module with the
overall lower performance (combination of speed and PCI mode) determines the speed
and PCI mode of the second PMC module.aaa
Example:aA PMC module supporting PCI−X/66MHz is installed into PMC slot 1 and a
PMC module supporting PCI/66MHz is installed into PMC slot 2. In this case both PMC
modules are operated in PCI/66 MHz mode because the PMC module with the overall
less performance is the one supporting PCI/66 MHz and consequently the second PMC
module is operated in this mode as well.a
Before installing PMC modules, the following general safety notes must be observed.a

Note:a
S
The signals available at pins 30 and 31 depend on the settings of the on−board
details.a
S
By default, the PMC I/O Ethernet signals (ETH_xxx) are routed to the on−board
switch via magnetics. As an assembly option the magnetics can be by−passed and
the Ethernet signals can be accessed via an installed PMC uplink module from
Motorola. Consult your local Motorola representative for details.a
S
By default the signals at pins 61 to 64 are routed the zone 3 connectors where they
are available as PMC I/O signals. As an assembly option these signals can be routed
to the on−board Ethernet switch as further 100BaseTX interface. Consult your local
Motorola representative for details.a

Some of the pins provided by P20, P21 and P23 are defined as optional in the
AdvancedTCA specification and are unused on the blade. If the AdvancedTCA
specification defines these signals as input signals, they are terminated on the blade and
marked as "TERM_" in the following pinouts. In all other cases the pins are unconnected
and consequently marked as "n.c.".a

Introduction
Introduction
BIOS (Basic Input Output System) provides an interface between the operating system
and the hardware of the blade. It is used for hardware configuration. Before loading the
operating system, BIOS performs basic hardware tests and prepares the blade for the
initial boot−up procedure.
During blade production, identical BIOS images are programmed into the blade′s boot
and user flash. By default the blade boots from the boot flash. It is possible to select
between boot and user flash as device to boot from. This is done via a OEM IPMI
command. For further details refer to theaPENT/ATCA−715/717/7105/7107: Control via
IPMI Programmer’s Guideawhich can be downloaded from the Motorola literature catalog.
The presence of two redundant flash devices also allows for updating the BIOS image
without affecting running processes.aaa
The BIOS used on the blade is based on the Phoenix 4.0 Release 6.0 BIOS with several
Motorola extensions integrated. Its main functions are:
S
S
S
S
Hardware set−up utility for setting configuration data
Multiboot for a flexible boot order
Serial console redirection for remote blade configuration
Software upgrade utility
Note:aThe BIOS contains on−line documentation which provides detailed description
of all BIOS functions. Therefore the description in this manual is restricted to the main
BIOS functions.a
The BIOS set−up program is required to configure the hardware of the blade. This
configuration is necessary for operating the blade and connected peripherals. It is stored
in the battery backed−up CMOS memory as well as in the blade’s boot flash.a
Whenever you are not sure about configuration settings, restore the default values. They
are provided in case a value has been changed and you wish to reset settings. To restore
the default values, press <F9> in setup.
Note:a
S
S
Loading the BIOS default values will affect all set−up items and will reset options
previously altered.a
If you set the default values, the displayed default values are not yet stored to be
effective for the next boot. They are just loaded to be displayed. However, they
become effective if the BIOS setup is exited after changes have been saved.

Serial Console Redirection
Serial Console Redirection
The firmware of the blade provides a serial console redirection feature. This allows
remote blade configuration by connecting a terminal to the blade via a serial
communication link.a
The terminal can be connected to display VGA text information. Terminal keyboard input
is redirected and treated as a normal PC keyboard input. The serial console redirection
feature can be configured via setup utility.
Note:aIf serial console redirection is enabled the terminal represents an option and is
not necessarily required for boot−up procedure.a
Requirements
For serial console redirection, the following is required:
S
S
Terminal which supports a VT100 or ANSI modea
NULL−modem cable
Terminal emulation programs such as TeraTermPro can be used. In order to use
TeraTermPro via the function keys, the keyboard configuration file of TeraTermPro has to
be modified as follows:

Default Configuration
By default, the blade can be accessed via the serial interface COM1. This interface is, by
default, accessible via an installed RTM through an RJ−45 connector. If no RTM is present
or you wish to access COM1 from the blade’s face plate, COM1 can alternatively be made
accessible at an installed CMC module. Whether COM1 is available via RTM or CMC
module depends on the setting of the on−board switch SW3−4 which enables/disables
COM port swapping. The following table provides details.aaa
Setting of SW3−4
OFF (default)

The COM port routing described above is only applicable to BIOS versions w 2.0.0.
Earlier BIOS versions used a different routing. For details refer to
theaPENT/ATCA−715/717/7105/7107 BIOS Information Sheeta which can be
downloaded from the Motorola literature catalog web site.
S
COM port swapping can also be enabled via an IPMI System Boot Options
command. COM port swapping is enabled if either the on−board switch 3−4, the
IPMI System Boot Options command or both enable it.a
A NULL−Modem cable is available as accessory kit for the blade. It converts the RJ−45
connector to a standard DSUB connector which can be connected to a remote terminal.
The following communication parameters are used by default:

Connecting to the Blade
In order to connect to the blade using the serial console redirect feature, proceed as
follows:.
Procedure
1. Configure terminal to communicate using the same parameters as in BIOS
setup
2. Connect terminal to NULL−modem cable
3. Connect NULL−modem cable to COM port you have selected in BIOS setup
4. Start up blade

BIOS Crisis Recovery Mode
BIOS Crisis Recovery Mode
Immediately after a reset or power−up a routine in the boot flash boot block is invoked
which checks whether a valid BIOS image is available. If no valid image is found and
consequently the blade is unable to boot, the blade enters into BIOS crisis recovery mode.
In this mode a routine tries to load a BIOS crisis recovery image from a disk drive
connected to the blade’ s USB interface. The BIOS crisis recovery image is basically a mini
DOS with minimum functionality which replaces the corrupted image.a
A valid BIOS crisis recovery image can be downloaded from the former Force Computers
SMART server or the Motorola website as part of the BIOS upgrade kit which which is
available for this blade. The image is accompanied by readme files which describe how to
create the BIOS upgrade/recovery disk and how to to replace a corrupted BIOS with the
BIOS crisis recovery image.a
If the blade has enterred BIOS crisis recovery mode,the face plate LED "HDD" is lit ed.
After the BIOS recovery image has been successfully flashed, the LED is lit green.a
Note:aFlashing the BIOS crisis recovery image may take up to two minutes. In order to
avoid blade damage, it is absolutely important not to interrupt the flashing process.
Therefore wait until the LED is lit green again, which indicates a successful flashing.a

Changing Configuration Settings
When the system is turned on or rebooted, the presence and functionality of the system
components is tested by POST (Power−On Self−Test).a
Press <F2> when requested. The main menu appears. It looks similar to the menu shown
in the following figure. Note that the layout may slightly vary with new BIOS versions.a

Make sure that BIOS is properly configured prior to installing the operating system
and its drivers.
If you save changes in setup, the next time the blade boots BIOS will configure the
system according to the setup selections stored. If those values cause the system
boot to fail, reboot and enter setup to get the default values or to change the
selections that caused the failure. If the boot fails or is interrupted three times in a
row, the default values are then loaded automatically.
In order to navigate in setup, use the arrow keys on the keyblade to highlight items on the
menu. All other navigation possibilities are shown at the bottom of the menu.
Additionally, an item−specific help is displayed on the right side of the menu window.

3. Select the order of the devices from which BIOS attempts to boot the operating
system
If BIOS is not successful at booting from one device, it tries to boot from the next device
on the list.
If there is more than one device of the same type, e.g. several hard disks, the displayed
entry represents the first of these devices as specified in the boot configuration via setup.
The same options determine the order in which POST installs the devices and the
operating system assigns device letters. BIOS supports up to two floppy devices to which
the operating system may assign, e.g. drive letters A: and B:. The drives C:, D:, E: etc. are
reserved for hard−disk drives.
Note:aThere is not always an exact correspondence between the order specified in
setup and the letters assigned by the operating system. Many devices, such as legacy
option ROMs, support more than one device that can be assigned to several letters. If
the CD−ROM drive should have a letter coming before the one assigned to the hard
drive, move it in front of the hard drive. The group of bootable add−in cards refers to
devices with non−multiboot−compliant BIOS option ROM from which you can boot
the operating system.a
Via Boot Selection Menu
To enter the boot menu, press <ESC> during POST. The menu that appears looks similar
to the one shown in the following figure. Note that the layout may vary slightly with new
BIOS versions.a

Continue with one of the following options:
a) Override existing boot sequence by selecting another boot device from the boot order
list or
b) Select [Enter Setup] to enter setup utility or
c) Press <Esc> to return to POST screen and continue with previous boot sequence
Note:aIf the selected device does not load the operating system, BIOS reverts to the
previous boot sequence.

Restoring BIOS Default Settings
BIOS
Restoring BIOS Default Settings
The blade provides an on−board configuration switch that allows to clear the blade’s
CMOS and thus to restore the BIOS default settings. In order to restore the BIOS default
settings using this switch, you have to proceed as follows.aa
Procedure
1. Remove the blade from the system
2. Set the on−board switch SW2−3 to ON
3. Install and power up the blade
Note that the blade will not boot, because the "Clear CMOS RAM" switch SW2−3 is
set to ON.a
4. Remove the blade from the system again
5. Set switch SW2−3 to OFF
Now the BIOS default settings are restored.a

Host Bridge
Devices’ Features and Data Paths
Host Bridge
The used host bridge is an Intel E7501 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) device. It is part of
the Intel Plumas chipset and provides bus control signals, address and data paths for
transfers between the CPU front side bus, main memory and the four hub interfaces
provided by the host bridge.aaa
Host Interface
The host interface supports a 64−bit wide data bus and a 32−bit wide address bus. The
data bus is quadpumped and runs at 100 MHz, resulting in a total bandwidth of 3.2 GB/s.
The memory bus is double pumped and supports an address range of up to 4 GByte. Its
bandwidth is 200 Mb/s per data line resulting in a total bandwidth of 128 x 200MB/S =
3.2GB/s.a
Memory Interface
The memory interface is a 144−bit wide SDRAM interface supporting 64, 128, 256 and 512
MBit DDR SDRAM technology. The bus speed is 100 MHz running synchronously to the
front side bus. Additionally ECC is supported.a
Although theoretically up to 16 GByte are supported by the memory interface, the actual
maximum memory size is limited to 4 GByte due to the CPU′s 32−bit address bus.a
Hub Interfaces
The Host Bridge provides the four hub interfaces A, B, C and D.a
Hub interface A is quad pumped, 8−bit wide and runs at 66 MHz. It is connected to the
South Bridge and provides a maximum data transfer rate of 266MByte/s. Parity
protection is provided for hub interface A. Any parity errors are detected by the host
bridge and reported to the South Bridge, which in turn generates an NMI.a
The hub interfaces B, C and D are octal pumped, 16−bit wide and run at 66 MHz. The
maximum data transfer rate provided by each hub interface is 1.066 GByte/s.a
ECC protection is provided for hub interfaces B, C and D. Any ECC errors are detected by
the host bridge and reported to the South Bridge, which in turn generates an NMI.a

Devices’ Features and Data Paths
Flash Devices
The blade provides two redundant boot flash devices: one default boot flash and one
backup boot flash. During blade production, both flashes are programmed with identical
BIOS images. The presence of two redundant flash devices allows for remotely updating
BIOS images from the operating level without interrupting running processes and
without being affected by possibly corrupt BIOS images. The backup boot flash,
furthermore, can be used to store customized images. Note that in this case the redundant
BIOS feature is no longer available.a
Both flash devices are Intel−compatible firmware hubs that are connected to the LPC
interface of the South Bridge. Each flash device has a unique four bit LPC device ID. Bit 1
to 3 of the device ID are fixed to 0. Bit 0 is controlled by a boot flash select signal provided
by the IPMC in such a way that bit 0 of one flash is set to 0 while bit 0 of the other flash is
set to 1 and vice versa. The following figure shows the implementation on
hardware−level.a

Figure 35: Boot Flash LPC Device ID Control
The blade’ s CPU always boots from the boot flash with the LPC device ID 0. Thus the
boot flash select signal of the IPMC allows to select the flash device that the CPU is to
boot from.a
An IPMI Set System Boot Options command allows to control the boot flash select signal
and thus select between the default and backup boot flash as device to boot from. For
details refer to theaPENT/ATCA−715/717/7105/7107: Control via IPMI Programmer’s Guidea
which can be downloaded from the former Force Computers S.M.A.R.T. server or the
Motorola literature catalog.aaaaaaaa
By default, the data/instruction areas of the default and backup boot flash are writable.
This is necessary because during booting the BIOS writes some configuration data back to
PENT/ATCA−717
113

some reserved spaces in the data/instruction area. The boot block of default and backup
boot flash are writeable per default, too. The on−board switches SW4−1, SW4−2 and
SW4−4 allow to enable/disable the write−protection of both default and backup boot flash
as well as the data/instruction area of the backup boot flash.a

Clock Synchronization Interface
Clock Synchronization Interface
AdvancedTCA systems provide a telecom clock synchronization interface which allows to
synchronize elements within a telecommunication network. The telecom clock
synchronization interface consists of three redundant clock buses (CLK1, CLK2 and
CLK3) which are available at the system backplane. Each clock bus is implemented as a
differential pair of MDS/LDS signals which connects to each system slot.aaa
In compliance with the AdvancedTCA PICMG 3.0 specification, CLK1 and CLK2 are used
as system clocks and CLK3 is used as reference clock.a
The blade provides a clock synchronization building block which allows to synchronize
the four on−board PMC modules to the system clock and to derive a reference clock. The
main components of the clock synchronization building block as well as the main signal
paths are shown in the following figure.aaa

Devices’ Features and Data Paths
Power Supply Module
Power Supply Module
The blade is fed via two redundant −48V inputs. Both are converted via a DC/DC
converter to an intermediate voltage of +12V. This voltage, in turn, is converted via
further DC/DC converters to on−board voltages which are used by the on−board devices.
A −48V/+3.3V DC/DC converter converts the −48V input voltage to +3.3V which is used
to feed the IPMC and power−up logic.
The blade′s power up and power down cycles are under full control of the IPMC. It
controls both the −48V/+12V DC/DC converter as well as power−up logic which controls
the remaining on−board DC/DC converters. If the IPMC detects a failure on any of the
local on−board voltages, it shuts off the entire blade power.aaa

Shut Down Register
This write−only register, which is accessible via the index address 0x05, allows to pull
down the FRU_EN signal to GND and thus initiate a blade power−down.a
This register was introduced because the FRU_EN signal is under normal operation
controlled by the IPMC. If the IPMC however is is not operating anymore, for example
during a firmware upgrade, the FRU_EN signal is released and remains in the state it
previously had been in. In this case it may be necessary to explicitly pull down FRU_EN
via this register.a

Reference Clock Divider Registers
The FPGA contains a clock divider which can be used in systems where the reference
clock frequency does not match the recovered clock frequency. The clock divider is able to
scale down a recovered clock frequency to the desired reference clock frequency. The scale
down grade can be controlled via the upper and lower reference clock divider registers
described in this section. Both registers correspond to the upper and lower divider of the
division factor between recovered and reference clock. The division factor can be changed
by software at any time. The new division factor becomes active with any new clock cycle
avoiding spikes or truncated clock cycles. A plausibility check of register values is not
required.a
Examples of recovered and reference clock frequencies and the corresponding division
factors are given in the following table.a

Error List
Error List
A typical ATCA system is highly sophisticated. This chapter can be taken as an error list
for detecting erroneous system configurations and strange behaviors. It cannot replace a
serious and sophisticated presales and postsales support during application development.
If it is not possible to fix a problem with the help of this chapter, contact your local sales
representative or Field Application Engineer (FAE) for further support.
Problem
Possible Reason
Solution
Blade does not work
Backplane voltage is too

Check that all backplane
voltages are within their
specific ranges.
Check that power supply is

Battery Exchange
The blade contains an on−board battery. Its location is shown in the following figure.a
Figure 42: Location of On−board Battery
The battery provides data retention of seven years summing up all periods of actual data
use. Motorola therefore assumes that there usually is no need to exchange the battery
except, for example, in case of long−term spare part handling.aa
S
Board/System damage
Incorrect exchange of lithium batteries can result in a hazardous explosion.a
Therefore, exchange the battery as described in this chapter.
152
PENT/ATCA−717
Battery Exchange
Battery Exchange
S
Data loss
If the battery does not provide enough power anymore, the RTC is initialized and
the data in the NVRAM is lost.
Therefore, exchange the battery before seven years of actual battery use have
elapsed.
S
S
Data loss
Exchanging the battery always results in data loss of the devices which use the
battery as power backup.a
Therefore, back up affected data before exchanging the battery.
Data loss
If installing another battery type than is mounted at board delivery may cause data
loss since other battery types may be specified for other environments or may have
a shorter lifetime.a
Therefore, only use the same type of lithium battery as is already installed.
Exchange Procedure
1. Remove old battery
PCB and battery holder damage
Removing the battery with a screw driver may damage the PCB or the battery holder.
To prevent this damage, do not use a screw driver to remove the battery from its holder.
2. Locate the ’+’ sign on the new battery. It indicates the positive terminal of the
battery.a
3. Insert the battery into the blade’s battery holder in such a way that the ’+’ on
top of the battery is face up
