Introduction

1.1 OverviewThis chapter provides a brief overview of the SharpStreamerTM Pro cards, their features and applications, hardware and software overviews, standard compliance, and ordering information.

The Artesyn SharpStreamer Pro high performance video accelerator card enables service provider networks to offer HEVC video transcoding services quickly and dynamically. As an add-on card, the SharpStreamer Pro offers quick and scalable integration with MaxCore™ server architecture to meet the demands of Internet Service Providers (ISPss) and Multiple System Operators (MSOs).

With a focus on the high density and low power demands of video streaming applications such as Over-the-Top (OTT) streaming servers, mobile network optimization, video conferencing and broadcast equipment, Artesyn employs Intel® Xeon® (codename Skylake-H) GPU accelerated devices in small, scalable PCI Express card footprints that are easily deployable in off-the-shelf platforms. Each SharpStreamer Pro CPU is capable of up to eight streams of 1080p30 H.265/High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) transcodes, or four streams of 1080p60 H.265/HEVC transcodes. Each CPU offers one 4KP60 HEVC, or up to two 4KP30 HECV transcodes.

The SharpStreamer Pro solution is easily deployable, portable, and does not constrain operators to a single type of equipment to monetize OTT streaming content. It also offers network scalability for increased subscribers to pay as you go, adding more cards and density from small to large servers as needed. Compared to software-only solutions, the SharpStreamer Pro requires far fewer servers and much less operational cost to power video transcoding services.

The SharpStreamer Pro is equipped with a Software Development Kit comprising the Intel® Media Server Studio Essentials runtime files with the Intel® Iris™ Pro Graphics P580 fixed-function hardware acceleration, monitoring and processor subsystems, operating systems, and management tools for easy integration with server host processing environments.

Introduction


1.2 Hardware DescriptionThe SharpStreamer Pro card is designed for the Artesyn MaxCore platform. The MaxCore is a platform with PCIe card slots for designing a highly scalable rack-mount appliance. MaxCore has the ability to implement many network connected servers within the same enclosure. The card has been designed to integrate into today’s industry leading platforms.

The SharpStreamer Pro is an Intel Xeon (codename Skylake-H) based PCI Express card for MaxCore server-based installations in a video broadcasting and data server environment.

The card provides two independent Intel Xeon (codename Skylake-H) CPU complexes. Each CPU complex is connected to the MaxCore fabric using a 3rd Generation PCI Express x8 (64 Gbps) connection through the PCIe standard card edge. A second MaxCore-specific card edge is used to provide power and additional I/O connections.

System Management Bus

The System Management Bus (SMBus) is used as interface between devices.

Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus

The I2C interface is connected to the inlet and outlet on-board temperature sensors.

3.7.2.2 SVID

The Serial VID or Serial Voltage Identification (SVID) is a 3-wire digital interface used to transfer power management information between the Master and Slave. In SharpStreamer Pro, the processor acts as a Master and the voltage regulators act as Slaves for this SVID interface.

3.7.3 Boot ControllerThe boot controller is responsible for managing the boot process. The boot process loads a boot image that is stored in 128 Mbit on-board SPI FLASH connected to each PCH device.



3.8 Micro SD CardThere are two microSD slots available on each SharpStreamer Pro card. Each microSD card goes to one of the respective PCH (J2 for PCH1 and J8 for PCH2). The microSD card slot is designed for a nonvolatile storage space, and/or as a firmware recovery option.

This figure shows the location of the microSD card slots on the SharpStreamer Pro card.

The microSD cards must be inserted into their slots before power is applied to the card. The microSD slots are not hot swappable.

First insert the microSD card into the slot on the SharpStreamer Pro card and then install the SharpStreamer Pro card into the server.

Figure 3-2. microSD Card Location

CPU1- Micro SD card slot CPU2- Micro SD card slot



3.8.1 MicroSD as Firmware Recovery OptionThe microSD can be used as a BIOS recovery option. For this you need to perform the following steps:

1. Format the microSD card as FAT32, then copy the recovery firmware onto the card.

2. Insert the microSD card into the socket, and install the SharpStreamer Pro card into the server.

3. Boot the server to a Linux CentOS.4. Run the PCIE-7210/7211 command to recover the firmware.

3.8.2 MicroSD as Non Volatile StorageThe microSD slots can accommodate up to 32 GB of flash storage, similar to a flash thumb drive.

3.8.3 MicroSD as Boot DeviceBy default, during the card boot operation, the BIOS first looks for a boot record on the microSD storage device. If no boot record is found, then the card tries to PXE boot from the server. If this is not successful, the processor reboots and tries the boot sequence again. The boot sequence can be modified in the BIOS.

3.9 Temperature SensorsThere are several temperature sensors on the SharpStreamer Pro card. Two SPD memory temperature sensor devices are each located in different areas, refer to Figure 3-3 on page 42. In addition, each SPD device has a temperature sensor.The SPD temperature sensor can be used to measure the surrounding air temperature to the card corners. There are also temperature sensors built into each SO-DIMM modules.

The following figure shows the location of the temperature sensors on the card.

The process to write the recovery BIOS into the firmware over the microSD bus can take about 10 minutes.



3.10 Clock DistributionClocking for each CPU complex consists of two input crystals. One 24 MHz crystal to drive all the main buses and a 32.768 kHz crystal to drive the real time clock. Processor clocks are driven from the PCH device. Each CPU has a dual channel memory, each memory channel provides an 1066.67 MHz clock to their respective memory channel.

3.11 Reset ManagementEach PCH reset is controlled by the CPLD. CPU and peripheral reset are controlled by the PCH. During power up the CPLD state machine drives the reset control to each CPU during an induced reset from the front panel reset switch.

For more information about Reset button, refer the section Controls on page58.

3.12 JTAGThe PCIe slot JTAG pins are mapped to the CPLD JTAG programming pins.

CPLD programming port at connector P2 (Independent connector for CPLD)

Processor and PCH JTAG pins are connected to XDP connector

BIOS

5.1 OverviewThis chapter describes the 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 nonvolatile.

5.2 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


To access the BIOS Setup screen, press <F2> when the message to set up the BIOS appears on the screen. The following figure shows 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. CMOS is a generic term, which is used to refer to the storage device that stores BIOS configuration data.

For more details, refer to the section Exit Menu on page 75.

Figure 5-1. BIOS Setup Screen

BIOS


To navigate setup, use the arrow keys on the keyboard to highlight items on the menu. All other navigation possibilities are shown at the bottom of the menu. Additionally, 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 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. Until then, they are loaded only for display purposes.

BIOS


5.2.1 Menu BarThe next table provides information about the BIOS Setup screen menu bar options.

5.2.2 Legend BarThe keys listed in the legend bar, shown in the Figure 5-1 screen are used to make selections on-screen or to leave the current menu. The legend keys and their alternate options are explained in Table 5-2. All submenus are indicated by the right-bracket symbol, >.

To select an item, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the desired field and then use the plus (+) and minus (-) value keys to select a value for that field. Use the Save Change Without Exit command in the Exit menu to save the values currently displayed in all the menus.

Caution

Incorrect settings can cause the system to malfunction. To correct mistakes, use the <F2> key to return to setup and restore the system defaults by pressing <F9>. Alternatively you can press <F2> to return to the BIOS setup and go to the Exit menu and select Load Setup Defaults.

BIOS


To display a submenu, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the desired submenu and then press <Enter>.

5.2.3 Field HelpThe help text of the selected field is displayed on the right side of the screen. By scrolling through each field, the related help text of the active selection is displayed.

5.2.4 General HelpYou can press <F1> on the key in any menu context to invoke the general help window. The general help window describes the legend keys and their alternates as shown in the following figure. The scroll bar on the right side of any window indicates that there is more than one page of information in the window.
