5.3.3 Power Sequence
The following subsections provide guidelines for power up and power down sequence of
various subsystems in RMS/MaxCore MC1000 IPC.
In MaxCore MC3000 server the power up sequence would be taken care of by the server power
sequencing.
5.3.3.1 Power Up Sequence
When PCIE-7210-1 card is plugged into the standard or RMS/MaxCore MC1000 IPC server
which includes integrated system, follow below power up sequence for proper operation of the
integrated system.
1. First, power on Quark subsystem. Quark should boot up to the OS first and configure
PEX9716 ports as required and then assign the end point devices.
2. After Quark configures PEX9716 and assigns the end point devices, Host CPU and Skylake-
H CPU should boot the OS. For proper operation, the host server BIOS should reset until
Quark subsystem is up and configures PEX9716. Otherwise, the endpoint devices (I210)
assigned to the host will not be visible in the host OS and the PEX9716 ports connected to
the host may not function normally.
3. For Skylake-H, the firmware on PCIE-7210-1 will provide power only after PEX9716 is
properly configured.
4. Ensure that the host server BIOS resets (in loop) till PEX9716 is configured by PLX manager
module on Quark.
