5. If you have two SCMs installed, repeat these steps on the other SCM.
Disable the Shelf Manager on the SCM
By default, the SCM is configured to function in a RadiSys shelf. For an SCM to operate in a non-RadiSys
shelf, you must disable the Shelf Manager on the SCM.
1. Connect the included serial port cable by plugging one end into the RJ-45 serial port labeled “LMP
SER” on the SCM.
2. Connect the cable’s other end to the COM1 or the COM2 serial port of an external computer, such
as a laptop.
3. Start a terminal-emulator application, such as Procomm Plus® or minicom, from the operating
system on your computer or laptop. Specify 115,200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit, and
no hardware or software flow control.
4. Press the Enter key and verify you get a
login
prompt. Enter
root
at the prompt.
5. The following displays at the prompt of the connected computer:
root@ATCA-2210@ DEBUGMODE :~#
This
DEBUGMODE
prompt is a result of a conflict between the Shelf Manager on the SCM and the
Shelf Manager on the non-RadiSys shelf. Disabling the Shelf Manager on the SCM resolves this
conflict.
