Introduction 1 1.1 Overview The ATCA-7350 provides an intelligent hardware management system as defined in the AdvancedTCA Base Specification (PICMG 3.0; AMC.0). This system implements an Intelligent Peripheral Management Controller (IPMC) based on the proprietary H8S reference design from American Megatrends Inc. The ATCA-7350 IPMC supports all standard Intelligent Peripheral Management Interface (IPMI) commands and provides hardware interfaces for other system managements features such

Introduction HPM.1 Specific Firmware Upgrades 1.2.1.1 IPMC Firmware Upgrade The IPMC firmware basically consists of five major parts: Boot loader Active and Backup IPMI firmware Active and Backup SDR data The boot loader maintains redundant copies of the firmware in the flash memory of the ATCA- 7350. Each time the IPMC firmware is upgraded, the most recent firmware version is kept in flash memory and the older firmware version is overwritten by the new one. Once the new IPMI firmware is

Serial over LAN Introduction 1.2.2 Serial over LAN Serial over LAN (SOL) is an IPMI v.2.0 defined capability that allows to establish a virtual serial console connection with the payload over LAN. The serial data of the payload is transferred to the IPMC. The IPMC generates RMCP+ packets, which are routed to the ethernet controller of the base interfaces. Be aware that SOL/LAN configuration is only possible if the Ethernet controller and its payload is fully powered, otherwise the complet

Introduction Local System Event Log 1.2.7 Local System Event Log The IPMC provides a local system event log (SEL). Thus, event information is stored on-board the ATCA-7350 as well. 1.2.8 External Watchdog For crisis recovery purposes the IPMI building block provides an external hardware watchdog. The IPMI firmware is reset if it does not trigger the watchdog anymore. 1.2.9 Boot Configuration Parameters The IPMC supports BIOS boot order selection via IPMI partially. Be aware, that in case o
