Introduction

The Netra CP2140 CompactPCI board incorporates a 650-MHz UltraSPARC IIi processor and uses the Solaris 8 operating environment in order to meet enhanced availability requirements. This board also supports advanced architectural capabilities for next-generation network infrastructure requirements.

The Netra CP2140 board is a crucial building block in developing carrier-grade systems. It can function either as a system controller or as a satellite board. As a modular solution, the Netra CP2140 board is easy to configure and install. It is designed to support next-generation requirements, in conjunction with the Netra CP2060/CP2080 satellite CompactPCI boards, for continuous uptime in the core network and access network infrastructures.

The Netra CP2140 board complies with the PICMG CompactPCI 3.0 specification. In the system host role, the Netra CP2140 board supports Basic, Full, and High- Availability hot swap. FIGURE 1-1 shows the Netra CP2140 board.

FIGURE 1-1 Netra CP2140 Board (Without Heat Sink)

This is a diagram of a typical Netra CP2140 board without the heat sink, so that other board components can be more visible.

FIGURE 1-2 Typical Netra CP2140 Board System Host or Satellite Host Board

This is a diagram of a typical Netra CP2140 board that can be used as a system host or a satellite host.

Caution - The CPU module, heat sink, System Management Controller, and power module are all integral to the Netra CP2140 board. Any attempt to disassemble or replace these devices on the board voids the warranty (see FIGURE 4-1 for location of devices).

1.1 Netra CP2140 Board System Configuration

Systems that conform to CompactPCI specifications require differentiation of chassis board slots depending upon the mode in which a board is to function.

To function as a System Host, a CP2140 processor includes connections to distribute PCI clocks and to receive interrupts from peripherals. It must also be situated in a System Host slot in the CompactPCI segment because only these chassis slots have backplane wiring with the full set of connections required to enable the System Host function. The CP2140 directly controls the CompactPCI peripheral hardware. Netra CP2140 boards assume a System Host role when installed in a PICMG system slot. A system slot is marked with an open triangle legend specified in CompactPCI Specification, PICMG 2.0 R3.0.

The CP2140 can be installed in one of the remaining (non-System Host) slots if the user wants to use it as a Satellite Host.

The simplest configurations of the Netra CP2140 board are shown in FIGURE 1-3. They contain one System Host that can supply any input/output (I/O) required by itself (a), or use an added I/O board (b). There is no redundancy in either of these arrangements.

FIGURE 1-3 Non-redundant Netra CP2140 Board HA Configuration - One System Host Board

This is a diagram of a non-redundant Netra CP2140 board High Availability configuration with one system host board.

Satellite Hosts do not control any peripheral I/O outside their own board and are typically used to perform independent processor-intensive tasks.

1.2 Features of Netra CP2140 Board CompactPCI Host Board

The CP2140 is designed to support hot-swap operation, system management, and environmental monitoring. These functions are implemented in the System Management Controller which is designed as a mezzanine module on the CP2140. In addition, the CP2140 has PCI mezzanine connectors that enable the connection of a compatible PMC peripheral. The CP2140 supports two 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports and two serial ports, two universal serial bus (USB) ports, two SCSI ports, floppy port, and PS/2 keyboard and mouse port.

TABLE 1-1 summarizes the key features of the CP2140.

1.3 Hot-Swap Support

The Netra CP2140 board is capable of performing basic hot swap, full hot swap and high-availability (HA) hot swap of a Sun-supported CompactPCI I/O card.

Basic hot swap: This feature provides hardware features required to perform hot swap, but an operator is required to execute software steps such as system configuration and installation of device drivers.

Full hot swap: This feature provides both hardware and software features required for software connection protocol. Board software connection control resources provide the following:

ENUM# signal to indicate service requests to the system host, which include adding or removing software drivers for boards that have been inserted or removed.

Hot-swap switch to indicate that an operator wishes to extract a board.

LED which is illuminated to indicate that it is safe to remove a board without interrupting system operation.

HA hot swap: In a high-availability (HA) system, hardware and software is added to enable a higher degree of system control. The following signals are used to control each slot in the system:

BD_SEL#: The shortest pin on a system backplane - this pin is the last to mate and first to break contact. This ensures that sensing takes place at a time when all other pins are reliably connected.

HEALTHY#: A radial signal that signals a board is suitable to be released from reset and allowed onto the PCI bus.

PCI-RST#: Driven by the system host, platforms can use this signal to control the electrical connection process - boards cannot come out of reset until HEALTHY# signal is indicated.

1.4 Front Panel I/O Connectors and Indicators

FIGURE 1-4 illustrates the indicators and I/O connectors on the CP2140 front panel. The front panel connectors, buttons, and LEDs from top to bottom are as follows:

One peripheral mezzanine card (PMC) I/O slot

ABORT - push button switch; passes an XIR signal to the SMC

RESET - A reset push button switch; passes a Button Power-on-Reset (BOR) signal to the SMC

ALARM/USER - A red/green (two color) LED -- for board status

READY - A green power LED, sourced from the power module

Ethernet - RJ45 Ethernet connector (10/100 Mbps)

COM - 8-pin DIN RS-232 serial I/O port

HOT SWAP - A blue LED for hot-swap status, sourced from the SMC

A hot-swap latch that has to be closed at insertion of board and opened prior to extraction of the CP2140.

1.5 Software Requirements

The CP2140 requires at least the Solaris 8 2/02 operating environment. The CP2000 Supplemental CD 4.0 for Solaris 8 is available that offers additional features on the Netra CP2140 board, such as driver support and satellite hot-swap support. The CP2000 Supplemental CD 3.1 for Solaris 8 can also be used for the CP2140, but does not contain all of the features of CD 4.0.

For further information on how to obtain CP2000 Supplemental CD 4.0 for Solaris 8, please contact your Field Application Engineer.

1.6 Determining Netra CP2140 Board Identification Numbers

This section provides details on how to identify the Netra CP2140 board.

1.6.1 Netra CP2140 Board Assembly Identification

For proper identification of the Netra CP2140 board, labels are provided on the board (see also FIGURE 1-5):

The Sun barcode label provides the following information:

Board part number (for example, 5016358) which is the first seven digits on the barcode label. The next six digits are the board serial number
(for example, 000230).

The Subcon label provides the following information:
