The configuration of the RTM8940 supports enabling up to 2 out of the following 3 sets of ports simultaneously: RTM 4x SFP+, RTM QSFP+(#1) and RTM QSFP+(#2).
• 2 ETSI T3 E1/T1 BITS input/outputs • 2 ETSI T4 E1/T1 Upstream/Downstream Chassis Clock Support. 2.6 MMC Boot Block The MMC runs a firmware from its internal 256KB flash. It is programmed by an additional 8K boot block. It keeps the last two copies of the MMC firmware in dedicated flash memories. The boot block activates the MMC image and can rollback a firmware update in the MMC in case of problems. 2.7 Hardware Management Overview The RTM communicates with the front board using the IPMB-L channel.
informed about an RTM insertion is through the RTM Module Hot Swap sensor and a radial presence line on the RTM connector. All SDRs can be queried using Device SDR commands. Module sensors that have been implemented are listed below. 2.7.

2.7.3 Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) Information The FRU Information provides inventory data about the boards where the FRU Information Device is located. The part number or version number can be read through software. FRU information in the RTM8940 includes data describing the RTM8940 board according to AMC.0 R2.0 specification requirements. This information is retrieved from the RTM, enabling reporting of board-specific information through a standardized mechanism.

2.7.6 Boot Block Upgrade Procedure Type the following to perform MMC firmware upgrade ipmifwu -fb -P /dev/ttyS1 -M rtm -p Note: During boot block firmware upgrade the MMC is held in reset 2.7.6.1 Hot-Swap Process The RTM8940 has the ability to be hot-swapped in and out of the front board. The onboard MMC manages the RTM's power-up and power-down transitions. The list below illustrates this process for power down request. 1 Ejector latch is opened. HOT_SWAP_PB# assertion.
The SHMC or higher level software can reject the request to move to the M6 state. If this occurs, the RTM will return the Hot Swap LED to a solid off condition, indicating that the RTM has returned to M4 state. If the RTM reaches the M6 state through an extraction request from the RTM handle latch, the MMC communicates to the front board that the module must discontinue operation in preparation for removal. The Hot Swap LED continues to flash during this preparation time, just like it does at the M5 state.
Chapter 3 Hot Swap and Installation 3.1 RTM Hot Swap and Installation............................. 16 www.kontron.
3. Hot Swap and Installation 3.1 RTM Hot Swap and Installation Because of the high-density pinout of the hard-metric connector, some precautions must be taken when connecting or disconnecting a RTM to/from an AT8940: 1 Rail guides must be installed on the enclosure to slide the RTM to the AT8940. 2 Do not force theRTM if there is mechanical resistance while inserting it. 3 Screw the faceplate to the enclosure to firmly attach the RTM to its enclosure.
