Installation Guide

Set up the BIOS
1. Insert the operating system CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Close the open latch of the CPM by pushing it toward the center of the front panel to start the power-on
process. Tighten the retaining screws of the front panel to ensure proper connector mating and prevent the
CPM from loosening due to vibration.
Wait for the blue hot-swap LED to turn off and for the power LED to turn solid green. It may take 5 to 10
seconds for the CPM to reach this power-on state.
If the hot-swap LED does not turn off, check to make sure the CPM is fully seated and the latch is completely
closed. For additional troubleshooting solutions, refer to the reference manual for your platform.
3. After the CPM is powered on, the BIOS will begin. When the BIOS banner appears, press the F2 function key
on the terminal to activate the Main BIOS menu. The following BIOS setup steps are recommended before
initial bootup:
a.
Navigate through the Main menu to set the date and time for the system.
b.
Make the USB CD-ROM drive the highest priority boot device for OS installation, as follows:
i.
Navigate to the Boot menu, and select the Boot Device Priority option.
ii.
For the ATCA-4300, in the Boot Device Priority submenu, move the USB Drives option to the top of
the list. From the Boot menu, select the USB Drives option, and move the USB CDROM option to
the top of the list.
iii. For the ATCA-4310, in the Boot Device Priority submenu, move the USB CDROM option to the top.
Note:
For initial installation of an ATCA-4310, avoid setting an on-board flash device as the boot device
with highest priority, because the flash device may be blank.
For other BIOS setup options, see the
ATCA-4300/ATCA-4310 Compute Processing Module Reference
.
c.
Save your changes, and exit.
Install the operating system and RadiSys software packages
Once you save and exit the BIOS, the CPM reboots. The BIOS loads the CD from the CD-ROM drive.
1. Use the installation directions provided by the OS vendor to install the OS. If you install a version of Red Hat,
be sure to use the serial boot command (
boot:
linux serial
) when prompted, since this command is
needed for a device using a serial connection to a terminal.
For more information about configuring the OS for the CPM and installing the OS onto a hard disk, see the
RadiSys Developer’s Guide
, which is included in the Promentum software distribution.
2. Install the RadiSys RPM packages from the Promentum software distribution (optional).
For information about installing packages, see the
Software Guide for Management Processors and General
Purpose Computing Processors
. For development information such as cross-compiling RPMs, see the
RadiSys Developer’s Guide
.
3. For the ATCA-4310, install the 10-Gb Ethernet driver supplied by your OS vendor. The driver enables the
Ethernet controller and the Fabric interface to function at 10 Gbps. To make the driver start at boot time,
rebuild the module dependencies for the target CPM. For more information, see the
depmod
man page.
