The PCI Express version utilizes a non-transparent PCI Express x16 Gen 3 (128Gbps) bridge to connect to the host’s PCI Express interface. Each CPU supports up to 32GB of removable DDR4 dual channel memory. The PCIE-7210/7211 card consumes power (> 75W) from the PCI Express slot as well as expansion connector. The card has been designed to integrate into today’s industry leading and NEBS-ready platforms.
1.3 Software OverviewThe software is delivered in the form of software components. These software components contain necessary binaries, utilities, tools to enable PCIE-7210/7211 card function as mCPU/aCPU for upgrading firmware and for media transcoding. See, Chapter 6, Software Information, on page 93.

BIOS
This chapter describes about BIOS setup, serial port configuration parameters, steps to access the BIOS setup screen, and configuring the BIOS settings.
The Basic Input Output System (BIOS) acts as an interface between the operating system and the hardware of the card. Before loading the operating system, BIOS performs basic hardware tests and prepares the card for the initial boot-up procedure.
Using BIOS Setup, you can perform the following tasks:
Obtain system information
Hardware set-up utility for setting configuration data
Boot configuration for a flexible boot order
The BIOS Setup program is required to configure the hardware of the card. This configuration is necessary for operating the card and the peripherals connected to it. The configuration data is stored as part of a boot flash, since the configuration data storage needs to be non-volatile.
5.1 Accessing the BIOS Setup ScreenWhen the system is turned on or rebooted, the presence and functionality of the system components is tested by POST (Power-On Self Test).
Do not enable Core C-States and Intel Turbo Mode. They are disabled intentionally.
The menus shown in the figures in this chapter are from a typical system. The actual menus displayed on the screen may be different and depend on the hardware and features installed on the system.
BIOS
SharpStreamer™ Pro PCIE-7210/7211 Installation and Use (6806800V01A)72
To access BIOS Setup screen, press <F2> when the message Press <F2> to enter BIOS setup appears on the screen. The following figure depicts a sample BIOS Setup screen.
Select Save and Exit after making a selection in the setup menus. This procedure stores the selections displayed in the menus in CMOS. At the time of next boot up, BIOS configures the system according to the setup selection stored in CMOS.
For more details, refer to the section Exit Menu on page 87. CMOS is a generic term, which is used to refer to the storage device that stores BIOS configuration data.

In order to navigate setup, use the arrow keys on the key 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 hand side of the menu window. It displays the help text for the currently selected field.
If you have performed any unwanted changes or not sure about configuration settings, restore the default values.
To restore default values:
1. Press <F2> on the key to return to setup.
2. Press <F9> to restore the system defaults.
Or
1. Press <F2> to return to the BIOS setup.
2. Go to the Exit menu and select Load setup Defaults.The default BIOS values are loaded and the values will affect all setup items and also the previously altered reset options.
Make sure that BIOS is properly configured prior to installing the operating system and its drivers.
If any changes are saved in the setup, the next time when the card boots, BIOS configures 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.
The default values set become effective only after saving and exiting the BIOS setup. Till then, they are loaded only for display purposes.

MaxCore Firmware Upgrade
A.1 MaxCore Firmware UpgradeThere are several firmware elements in a MaxCore system that may need upgrades throughout the product’s life cycle. Some firmware elements are part of the system itself and some reside on PCIe cards. This section provides information on how to upgrade the firmware elements that are part of the system only. The following is the list of firmware elements that come under this group:
BMC firmware
Glue CPLD logic
Companion CPLD logic
IO-Module CPLD logic
This section is not intended to describe the firmware upgrades for elements on Artesyn PCIe cards. You can ignore this chapter, if you are using Artesyn’s SSF to upgrade Firmware components. SSF is the preferred method to upgrade the MaxCore firmware. For more information, refer to System Services Framework for MaxCore™ Platform XML Interface Guide.
A.1.1 Obtaining Revisions of Firmware Components
The firmware upgrade of a firmware component is necessary only if firmware components are not found to be up-to-date.
All the examples provided in the following sections are by assuming that the BMC’s IP address is the default of 192.168.201.9. If the address has been modified (for example, via the WEB interface) replace the default with the modified address accordingly in the examples.
It is strongly recommended to upgrade all the firmware elements to their latest version, if any of the upgrades is due. Performing only selective firmware upgrades is not recommended, because this may lead to incompatibilities between the BMC firmware version and CPLD logic elements.

SharpStreamer™ Pro PCIE-7210/7211 Installation and Use (6806800V01A)96
You can manage the system firmware elements as HPM.1 components. You can determine the revision of the HPM.1 firmware components using the tool called ipmitool. You can download it from http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net.
You need to install this tool on a remote machine (for example, on a PC). You need to have a network connection from the remote machine to the BMC.
You can run the following command to determine the revisions:
./ipmitool –I lan –H 192.168.201.9 –U admin –P admin hpm check
A.1.2 Upgrade Procedure
This section describes the step-by-step procedure to upgrade firmware images on a MaxCore MC3000 prototype.
Procedure
To upgrade the firmware elements, perform the following steps:
1. Upgrade the BMC Firmware The BMC firmware should always be the first element to be upgraded. You can skip this step, if the BMC firmware already has the latest version.
There are different versions of ipmitool available, each using different command sets to the BMC. MaxCore has been tested with ipmitool version v.1.8.14 and it is strongly recommended to use this version of ipmitool in order to avoid errors when communicating with the BMC.
MaxCore Firmware Upgrade
SharpStreamer™ Pro PCIE-7210/7211 Installation and Use (6806800V01A) 97
You can upgrade the BMC firmware through the BMC’s web browser accessed from the remote machine (network connection from remote machine to BMC required) through the IP address 192.168.201.9 with Username admin and Password admin
BMC firmware revisions higher or equal to version 1.5.0 support two firmware images (active and inactive) to be maintained.
Firmware upgrades via web browser are only supported by firmware revisions higher than v1.0.10 (the BMC firmware revision can be retrieved with ipmitool, refer to Obtaining Revisions of Firmware Components on page 95). In case the BMC firmware revision installed does not support upgrades via the web browser, the BMC FW EEPROM needs to be extracted from its socket on the MaxCore backplane and needs to be reprogrammed with a flasher hardware device (this option is required for very first prototypes only).

Select Preserve Configuration to preserve the network configuration (IP, username, password, DHCP, VLAN).
Click Enter Update Mode and follow the wizard through the upgrade. Select Full Flash check box to perform a complete firmware upgrade always.
2. Upgrade the Companion CPLD
You can skip this step, if the Companion CPLD firmware already has the most recent version. For more information, refer to MaxCore MC3000 Release Notes.Use the following command to upgrade the IO-CPLD../ipmitool –I lan –H 192.168.201.9 –U admin –P admin hpm upgrade mc3000-cpld-companion-0.2.6.hpm component 3 force
3. Upgrade the Glue CPLDYou can skip this step, if the Glue CPLD firmware already has the most recent version. Use the following command to upgrade the Glue CPLD.
In any case, if you observe that the firmware upgrade fails, repeat the firmware upgrade procedure again.
Firmware upgrade progress is not seen immediately. As the first step, the ipmitool loads the firmware image into the BMC. This may take some time (~30sec). In the next step, the ipmitool states Writing firmware: 100% completed. Please do not stop execution at this point, ipmitool is still working!
Wait until the following message appears “Firmware upgrade procedure successful” (~2min).

4. Upgrade the IO-Module CPLD You can skip this step, if you have already programmed the actual firmware. Use the following command to upgrade the IO-CPLD../ipmitool –I lan –H 192.168.201.9 –U admin –P admin hpm upgrade mc3000-cpld-iomod-0.4.0 component 4 force
If you observe that the firmware upgrade fails, repeat the firmware upgrade procedure again.
Firmware upgrade progress is not seen immediately. As the first step, the ipmitool loads the firmware image into the BMC. This may take some time (~2min). In the next step, the ipmitool states "Writing firmware: 100% completed".Please do not stop execution at this point, ipmitool is still working! Wait until the following message appears "Firmware upgrade procedure successful" (~3min).

5. Remove and reinsert power plug.
A.1.3 Troubleshooting
This section is provided in this chapter to assist you with troubleshooting.
A.1.3.1 CPLD FW Upgrade Failed
Do not switch off system power until "ipmitool prompts Firmware upgrade procedure successful" or "Firmware upgrade procedure failed" message. Upgrading the "IO-Module" CPLD may take very long (~25min).
In any case, if you observe that the firmware upgrade fails, repeat the firmware upgrade procedure again.
You cannot see the Firmware upgrade progress immediately. As the first step, the ipmitool loads the firmware image into the BMC. This may take some time (~2min). In the next step, the ipmitool states Writing firmware: 100% completed.Please do not stop execution at this point, ipmitool is still working! Wait until the following message appears Firmware upgrade procedure successful (~3min).
The “IO-Module” CPLD on early MaxCore prototypes cannot be upgraded at all (even when the revision can be read). Any attempt will fail during programming immediately. The revision of the respective system module can be determined only by dismounting the device and evaluating the part number at the PCB (8406843P41A PCB REV A). Contact your local Artesyn executive, if the firmware upgrade on such a system becomes necessary.Subsequent firmware upgrades can be performed much faster due to a change in the I2C controller implementation in the CPLDs.

In case when ipmitool reports “Firmware upgrade procedure failed” message, power cycle the system, and evaluate the firmware revision of the firmware component just programmed (for more details refer to Obtaining Revisions of Firmware Components on page 95, and if the revision programmed is not performed before, repeat the firmware upgrade procedure. If subsequent CPLD firmware upgrade fails, contact your local Artesyn executive.
A.1.3.2 BMC FW Upgrade Failed
In such a case, power cycle the system and repeat the firmware upgrade. If subsequent BMC firmware upgrade fails, contact your local Artesyn executive.
A.1.3.3 BMC Cannot Be Accessed Via IP address
In case the BMC is not accessible via its IP address anymore there is a possibility to set the BMC to its factory defaults by pressing the reset button at the IO module (the BMC will automatically reboot).
After the reboot, you can access the BMC via the IP192.168.201.9, username admin and password admin. The DHCP will be in Off mode.
