5.11 Accessing the System
You can access your system using the SAM shelf manager. The SAM-1500 direct serial console
connector (front of chassis) is an RJ45 connector on the SAM face plate. This connector is
configured as DTE. Configure your console or terminal emulation software using the
parameters: baud rate 9600, data bits 8, parity None, stop bits 1, flow control None. The
system is shipped with a default password of root.
Matching cable (part number CABLE/RJ45/DSUB/6E) can be ordered by contacting your
Artesyn sales representative. Refer to
RS-232 Serial Interface on page 170 for pin assignments.
5.12 Upgrading Firmware
Upgrading firmware on the AXP640 shelf involves the following components:

IPMC firmware on the three Fan Tray Modules (FTMs)

IPMC firmware on the two DC Power Entry Modules (PEMs)

Shelf Manager firmware (including an FPGA image) on the two SAMs
5.12.1 FTM IPMC Firmware Upgrade
There is a single IPMC firmware image common to the three FTMs in the AXP640. The FTM
IPMCs are assigned IPMB addresses 0x50, 0x52, and 0x54.
Different upgrade image variants are generated as part of the release, but only one file is
required for the normal field upgrade process. This file is
axp640_fantray-upgrade-
x_xx_xxx.hex
. As upgrades are released, Artesyn will supply the current version of this file.
The upgrade process described here uses a script named ipmcUpgrade.sh, which is supplied
on shelf managers starting with build 5.3.1.-1.
