Serial EEPROMs
The CPIP5430 provides two serial EEPROMs to store the SEL and FRU
information. Each SEL record uses 16 bytes providing 500 records for SEL
storage, the 64KB FRU is used to store the VPD data.
❏
The slave address for SEL is 0xAC
❏
The slave address for FRU is 0xAE
QLogic and MCG provide a firmware suite supporting the Intelligent

Asynchronous Serial Ports
Two serial ports are supported on the CPIP5430. The EIA232 drivers and
receivers reside on board the CPIP5430. COM1 is resides on the board and
is available via an RJ45 connector on the front panel. COM2 resides on the
RTM and is available via an RJ45 connector on the RTM front panel. By
default, the BIOS configures the primary port, COM1, for use by Remote
Access, which allows console access to BIOS Setup. The default port
configuration is:
❏
19200 baud
❏
8 data bits
❏
no parity
❏
1 stop bit
❏
CTS/RTS flow control
ANSI is the default console type for the BIOS.
If you experience difficulty connecting with these settings, try a different
flow control setting. If you still can’t connect, or if Remote Access
becomes disabled, you may need to connect a video monitor and a USB
