•Support 2x FHFL PCIE extension and four network interface modules (NIMs) or
Flexible IO interfaces through eight network interface modules (NIMs) adaptable to a
variety of complex connectivity scenarios
•Advanced LAN bypass features; bypass modes of each NIM can be set independently
through BIOS or IPMI interface
•16x DDR4 memory slots for up to 512GB memory to meet the requirement of network
packet processing
•Up to 4x 3.5" SATA drives, supports additional storage expansion via PCIe or CFast
•Intelligent system management compatible with IPMI 2.0, supports SOL and adaptive fan
speeds
•Support for PacketManager software to provide data plane software stacks for dynamic
layer 3 forwarding and flow-based forwarding, accelerating development of customer
applications
•Integrates Wind River® Titanium Server, and open source software including Intel®
DPDK, Open vSwitch and nDPI, facilitating the building of packet parsing applications

3 Getting Started
3.1 Installing Memory Modules
When installing memory modules in the CSA-7210, the blue DIMM slots of each channel can
be freely populated (it is suggested to fill the slots from “outside to inside” for each CPU).
However, the black DIMM slots must be populated after the blue DIMM slots are completely
filled, otherwise the device will not boot up. Please refer to the figure below.
Note: The device will not boot up if the black DIMM slots are populated before the blue
DIMM slots are completely filled.

3.2 BIOS Update
Users can update the CSA-7210 system BIOS over various interfaces (GbE LAN, KCS,
console port).
3.2.1 Updating the BIOS via Network with BMC Tool
1. Install a Linux distribution, such as Ubuntu 14, to the debug PC.
2. Install “expect” to your debug PC (ex: sudo apt-get install expect).
3. Copy the BMC FW package “BMC_CSA-7210_Release_V1.05” to the debug PC;
Upgrade Procedure:
1. Check the IP of the BMC of CSA-7210. Power on the CSA-7210, boot the BMC to
Linux (username: sysadmin; Passwd: superuser), and type “ifconfig” check its IP
address.
2. On the debug PC, execute the following commands to perform the upgrade.
cd BMC_CSA-7210_Release_V1.05
cd BIOS
./adlinktool.sh bios1 BIOS_xxxx.bin 172.20.5.77
