Product compatibility issues
This section describes compatibility issues with other modules that may affect the operation of
the ATCA-4500 CPM.
Shelf Managers
Some Shelf Managers have difficulty with the large number of sensors on the ATCA-4500. This
is especially true in systems with many modules installed. As a result, the Shelf Manager may
not power up all modules in a quick, repeatable order on chassis power-up. This issue has been
seen with the RadiSys Dutch Harbor platform.
The workarounds for this issue include:
Enabling progressive boot in the ATCA-4500 BIOS setup. This enables the BIOS to
continually retry the boot devices if one fails.
Enabling the OS watchdog timer in the ATCA-4500 BIOS. This is helpful if, for example, the
ATCA-4500 gets an IP address via PXE but is unable to load the kernel or file system.
Disabling additional processes on the Shelf Manager. For example, disabling the
hpiSubagent on the ATCA-2210 allows the Promentum Shelf Manager to bring up modules
quicker.
The workarounds may cause the ATCA-4500 to reboot or retry the boot process multiple times
before coming up.
Sensors
An ATCA-7100 chassis management module (CMM) running 7.1.x software does not
support the ATCA-4500 sensor types for sensor 0xFF (System Firmware Progress) and 0x03
(Version Change).
The ATCA-7100 CMM cannot interpret the OEM sensor types for the ATCA-4500. When the
CMM receives an event with the OEM sensor type, the CMM event description is "oem
sensor type sensor event description unknown."
