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 login prompt. Enter root at 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.

7. Once the software tool has completed its initialization, the host address is displayed. Make a note

of this address for an upcoming step. Typically the address is located at either 0x82 or 0x84.

8. At the cmd prompt, enter m.

9. At the menu prompt, enter 40.

10. The following prompt displays:

Set SCM ShMgr Mode -

Enter address (in hex):

Enter the host address you previously noted for

step 7

in hex format. For example, if the address

listed was 0x82, enter 82.

11. The following prompt displays:

Enter 0 to enable the on-board Shelf Manager. The menu prompt displays upon completion of the
process.
