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.
