Indications of Malfunction

 

#

#

Subsystem

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

any of the following indications:

 

 

 

 

Error message via OpenArchitect due

 

 

 

 

to inability to access the registers

 

 

 

 

within the switch chip, or a failure of

 

 

 

 

DMA transfers.

 

 

 

 

Loss of switch functionality, such as

 

 

 

 

the inability to forward packets, or

 

 

 

 

forwarding packets in error.

8

12

 

Power Supply

A power-supply failure will generally result in

 

 

 

 

lack of boot activity.

3, 6, 12,

2, 4, 6,

1, 2, 4

Ethernet PHYs

An error in the PHY will generally result in

13, 16,

13, 15

 

& Transformers

loss of link, or Ethernet data transfer errors

17

 

 

 

such as Checksum and Frame Alignment.

 

 

 

 

Note that for ATCA 3.1 Fabric ports, there is

 

 

 

 

no separate PHY devices or transformers; the

 

 

 

 

SerDes interface in the switch chips are used

 

 

 

 

instead.

 

9

 

FPGA

Most FPGA failures will result in the CPU

 

 

 

 

failing the boot process.

 

 

 

BOOT ROM

If the Boot ROM fails or is not programmed,

 

 

 

 

there will be no boot activity on the console

 

 

 

 

port after power up.

 

 

 

Network Cable

Network cable failures will result in loss of

 

 

 

 

link or loss of data packets.

7

 

 

IPMI Controller

If the IPMI controller is not functioning, the

 

 

 

 

Ethernet Switch Blade board will not power up

 

 

 

 

when inserted into a powered-up chassis.

 

 

 

 

This condition may also result from a failure

 

 

 

 

within the ATCA Shelf Manager (ShMM) or if

 

 

 

 

the ShMM determines that the chassis cannot

 

 

 

 

support the Ethernet Switch Blade.

Testing the FlashROMs

The FlashROMs (device 1 and 2) contain compressed images of the OpenArchitect operating system. FlashROM device 1 is the primary operating system image. If OpenArchitect has successfully booted, then FlashROM device 1 is fully operational.

To test FlashROM device 2, set the Ethernet Switch Blade to load the backup image on reboot. For instructions on temporarily booting from FlashROM device 2, see the section on Booting the

Ethernet Switch Blade User's Guide
