ƒ
Keep the product in its ESD shielding bag until a step
tells you to remove it.
Put on a grounded wrist strap before you move near or
touch the product.
Install the product only in a grounded work area.
Prepare for installation
The installation of the SCM requires the following:
ƒ
An AdvancedTCA® (ATCA®) shelf, such as a RadiSys
ATCA-6000, ATCA-6006, ATCA-6014, or ATCA-6016
shelf
ƒ
A 9-pin D-shell to RJ-45 serial port cable (shipped
with the SCM)
ƒ
ƒ
A standard crossover Ethernet cable
Adequate ventilation for the shelf
Install SFPs or XFPs on the SCM
The SCM comes with sockets for small form-factor
pluggable (SFP) and 10 Gigabit small form-factor
pluggable (XFP) transceiver modules. If SFPs and XFPs
are installed, they can provide external connections to the
Ethernet interfaces. The sockets are accessed from the
faceplate of the SCM.

1. Follow ESD precautions and make sure you are
Open position
adequately grounded before handling the transceivers
and the SCM.
a) push inner latch
in all the way
2. Remove the SCM from its antistatic bag.
3. Open both ejector latches outward.
WARNING! Never force open an ejector latch. Press the
inner latch all the way in before you pull out the handle.
If the latch does not open fully, close the latch and try
again, making sure the inner latch is fully depressed.
b) pull out
4. Slide the SCM into one of the hub slots on the shelf.
The table below show the hub slots for RadiSys shelves.
If installing the SCM in a non-RadiSys shelf, refer to the
documentation for that shelf.

push in
If correctly aligned, the edges of the SCM fit within the
narrow guide rails of the shelf.
WARNING! Do not force the SCM into the slot:
ƒ
To avoid damage to connectors, make sure the rear
slot is either empty or contains a module compatible
with the SCM.
ƒ
If the SCM does not slide easily, make sure you are
inserting the SCM into the correct slot and that it is
aligned properly.
5. Once the SCM is inserted all the way into the shelf, simultaneously close both ejector latches
inward. This seats the SCM’s connectors into the shelf’s backplane.
The hot-swap (H/S) LED light flashes until the SCM is fully powered. Once powered, the LED light
turns off.
If the LED remains solid blue or keeps flashing after the SCM is inserted, it indicates the installation
has failed. Please see the ATCA-2210 Switch and Control Module Reference for more information.
6. Secure the SCM in its slot by hand tightening the two fastening screws on each end of the
module’s front panel.
7. Repeat these steps if you are installing a second SCM in the remaining hub slot. Installing two
SCMs on the shelf allows for redundancy—a means of providing continuous system functionality
even if a failure occurs on one of the SCMs.

Installation Guide
Connect to the SCM
The SCM can be accessed by an external computer through the serial and the Ethernet maintenance
ports. Use the serial port to perform diagnostic and verification procedures or to enable or disable the
Shelf Manager. Use the Ethernet maintenance port to connect the SCM to the network and to perform
configuration procedures.
Note: If you have two SCMs installed, connect to each one separately.
Connect to the serial port
1. Connect the included serial port cable by plugging one
end into the RJ-45 serial port labeled “LMP SER” on the
SCM.
ATCA- 2210
2. Connect the cable’s other end to the COM1 or the COM2
serial port of an external computer, such as a laptop.
Serial port
(LMP SER)
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 loginprompt.

Enter adminat the prompt.
5. Verify that you receive a welcome message and a prompt
(LMP ETH)
showing ATCA-2210#.
Important: If the SCM has been installed in a non-
RadiSys shelf, you may receive a DEBUGMODEprompt
rather than the ATCA-2210prompt. If this occurs, disable the SCM’s on-board Shelf Manager. See
Connect to the Ethernet maintenance port
1. Connect a crossover Ethernet cable between the SCM’s Ethernet maintenance port, which is
labeled “LMP ETH,” and a Linux host computer that is connected to your network.
2. Configure the computer to a subnet IP address (10.0.0.x) and set the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
3. On the computer, verify Telnet access to IP address 10.0.0.1 (port 23).
4. At the loginprompt, enter adminand verify you receive the ATCA-2210#prompt. To log off the
SCM at any time, enter the exit command.
Note: To connect to the Linux shell on the SCM, use either a serial port or Telnet connection. After
connecting, log in as rootand enter ifconfigto view eth0 configuration settings.

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 loginprompt. Enter root at the prompt.
5. The following displays at the prompt of the connected computer:
root@ATCA-2210@ DEBUGMODE :~#
This DEBUGMODEprompt 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.

Installation Guide
Enable the Shelf Manager on the SCM
If you plan to remove an SCM from a non-RadiSys shelf and reinstall it in a RadiSys shelf, enable the
on-board Shelf Manager before removing the SCM.
Important: If the SCM is removed from the non-RadiSys shelf without having its on-board Shelf
Manager enabled, you will need to install the SCM in a shelf (RadiSys or non-RadiSys) that already has
an active Shelf Manager running.
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 loginprompt. Enter rootat the prompt.
5. To determine the version of SCM’s on-board Shelf Manager, enter the following at the ATCA-2210
prompt:
resys_debug -h
6. After determining the version number, enter the appropriate command.

Rear I/O connectivity
The ATCA-5010 shelf peripheral module (SPM) provides rear I/O connectivity on the SCM. The
configuration of the SCM determines the functionality of the Fabric ports, the Base ports, and the Telco
alarm connection on the SPM. For more information, see the ATCA-5010 Shelf Peripheral Module
Installation Guide and the ATCA-5010 Shelf Peripheral Module Reference.
COM Express module setup
SCMs with the optional Procelerant™ CE3100 COM Express module and SAS/SATA drive ship with a
factory-installed basic software package. Once the SCM is installed, and depending on your
organization’s needs, you may choose to change the BIOS setting or install an operating system and
drivers. See the ATCA-2210 Switch and Control Module Reference for instructions on performing such
procedures.
Where to go from here
See the ATCA-2210 Switch and Control Module Reference for detailed information on the SCM’s
electrical, mechanical, and environmental aspects. Software information is covered in the following
manuals: the Shelf Management Software Reference, the Software Guide for Management
Processors and General Purpose Computing Processors, and the Command Line Interface Reference.
For information on integrating the SCM into the platform, refer to the appropriate Platform Hardware
Reference for SYS-6000/6010, SYS-6006, or SYS-6014/6016.
After your system has been assembled, verify a link has been established between the components
and that traffic is being passed. The Base Ethernet and Fabric Ethernet switches can be checked by
pinging from component to component.
You should also set passwords for the rootand the adminusers, and create user accounts for those
who do not require administrative privileges. See the Software Guide for Management Processors and
General Purpose Computing Processors for more information.
