1.5
Hot-Swap Support
In general, the hot-swap process includes the orderly connection of the hardware
and software. The process uses hardware connection control to connect the hardware
in an orderly sequence. The process includes the use of pins of different lengths to
accomplish signal sequencing to protect the hardware and avoid corrupting the
system interface. For further details on hot-swap standards, see the ATCA hot-swap
specification.
The ATCA specification describes three hot-swap models: basic hot-swap, full
hot-swap, and HA hot-swap. When a Sun Netra CP3220 blade server functions as a
node board it supports all three hot-swap models.
1.6

Configuring Sun Netra CP3220 For 1GbE
or 10GbE Switches
The extended fabric on the Sun Netra CP3220 blade server is capable of operating at
either 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps. The Sun Netra CP3220 can be used in the Sun Netra CT
900 server with either the Sun Netra CP3240 10-GbE switch or the Sun Netra CP3140
1-GbE switch. Therefore it is important that the driver configuration file be modified
accordingly.
The network interface driver configuration file, nxge.conf, for the extended fabric
ports of the Sun 10GbE ASIC might need to be modified to employ the proper
switch and ARTM configurations. The nxge.conffile is located in the
/platform/i86pc/kernel/drvdirectory. The following examples show the
proper entries for each switch configuration.
Example 1: If both network interface ports are routed to Sun Netra CP3240 switches
in Slot 7 and Slot 8, the nxge.conffile should have the following entries:
name = "pciex108e,abcd" parent = "/pci@0,0/pci10de,377@f" unit-address ="0" phy-type = "xgsd";
name = "pciex108e,abcd" parent = "/pci@0,0/pci10de,377@f" unit-address ="0,1" phy-type = "xgsd";
Example 2: If both network interface ports are routed to Sun Netra CP3140 switches
in Slot 7 and Slot 8, the nxge.conffile should have the following entries:
name = "pciex108e,abcd" parent = "/pci@0,0/pci10de,377@f" unit-address ="0" phy-type = "gsd";
name = "pciex108e,abcd" parent = "/pci@0,0/pci10de,377@f" unit-address ="0,1" phy-type = "gsd";

Configuring Alternate OOS LED
Behavior
Administrators and service technicians can change the default behavior of the
out-of-service (OOS) LED through the IPMC by using an LED1 control bit. This bit is
available only on the Sun Netra CP3220 blade server.
Use the set and get IPMC control byte IPMI commands, which are the same
commands used to control the Green OK LED, to change the default OOS LED
behavior to the following:
■
IPMC will not light up OOS LED on POST or any other failure.
■
Upon blade insertion, OOS LED will turn on promptly after the Blue LED turns
off, then remain on.
■
The IPMC will only change the state of OOS LED when commanded via
ATCA/IPMI commands to change LED state.
The alternate behavior remains enabled after firmware upgrades and IPMC cold,
warm, and hard resets. Also, it remains enabled after firmware downgrades, as long
as the version being downgraded to supports this feature.
When blade servers are shipped from manufacturing, they are set to the default LED
behavior. The default OOS LED behavior is as follows:

Changing the BIOS Continuous Boot
Setting
Traditionally, the BIOS of a PC would go through the list of bootable devices and try
to boot up the OS. If all devices failed to boot, BIOS would print a message to inform
the user and wait for user intervention. In the ATCA environment, there is typically
no one watching the console screen when a blade is booting. Therefore. it is
preferred for the BIOS to retry and walk through the boot list continuously. The
continuous boot feature is implemented in the AMI BIOS for ATCA blades.
The Continuous Boot feature is activated by default. At the end of the boot list, if all
devices fail to boot, BIOS will pause for a few seconds to make sure the user has a
chance to see the message, and continue the boot process by going through the boot
list again.
Users can specify how long the pause is in seconds by changing the Continuous
BootCMOS setting in the Advanced Setup or the Boot menu.
If the value is set to disabled, the feature is disabled and the BIOS will not retry the
boot list automatically.
●
To change the setting, press F2 when prompted at the beginning of the boot
process, move the cursor to highlight ContinuousBoot, then press Enter to
select a new value.
4.5
You must set the Supervisor password before you can set the User password. The
Supervisor password sets the desired access level for the User password.
To reset any BIOS passwords, clear the CMOS settings by resetting Jumper 1. See
