Device Locator Record

The Device Locator Record (SDR Type 12h) contains a Device ID String which identifies the
MMC as AM5030 MMC. Additionally some run-time information like AMC slot and the slot
dependent IPMB address is available in this record.

For example, when using the Linux “ipmitool” on a AM5030 placed in the first AMC slot of a
µTCA system, by calling:

ipmitool sdr list mcloc

the following information is displayed:

A1:AM5030 | … @72h | ok

FRU Information

The MMC provides 4 kB of non-volatile storage space for FRU information. Some of the data
stored there, like the Module Current Requirements record or E-Keying information (refer to
AMC.0 specification for details), are mandatory for module functionality in the ATCA/AMC en-
vironment.

Please note that missing FRU information possibly will prevent the AMC module from being ac-
cepted by the carrier controller during the Hot Swap process, and the module will possibly not
receive payload power.

Full low-level access to read or write a module's FRU Information is provided by regular IPMI
FRU Device commands. Please be careful when writing FRU information directly using stan-
dard IPMI commands. Damaging the FRU Information may lead to a non-working payload.
