1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
The ADLINK CSA-7400 is a high-performance high-density computing platform supporting
four dual Intel® Xeon® Processor E5 CPU sleds or dual Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor
CPU sleds, interconnected by dual redundant switch sleds. The CSA-7400 can ensure
uninterrupted service delivery through hot-swappable CPU and switch sleds. It is ideally
suited for building next generation high-performance firewalls and virtualized telecom
elements.
The main features of the CSA-7400 are summarized as follows:
xSupports four single-system dual Xeon® Processor E5 CPU sleds (MCN-2600T) or
dual Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor CPU sleds (MCN-2610T)
xDual redundant switch sleds provide up to 2x 50G data plane links to each CPU sled,
and 360G (MXN-3610) or 400G (MXN-4100) uplinks
xIndependent 1G control plane links that connect four CPU sleds, two switch
management CPUs (implemented by COM Express modules) and two Chassis
Management Modules (CMM)
xSupports IPMI 2.0 specification, provides web-based intelligent system management,
and supports SOL on compute nodes
xFour redundant hot-swappable power supply units provide active power management
on compute nodes and support flexible power limit polices
xIntegrates ADLINK PacketManager software to provide common Layer 2 and Layer 3
switch stacks, RPC interface, CLI.
xOptionally integrates Wind River® Titanium Server or OPNFV software to provide
carrier grade NFV service

CSA-7400
CSA-7400 includes four CPU sleds (MCN-2600T or MCN-2610T) and two switch sleds
(MXN-3610 or MXN-4100). Each CPU sled has two PCIe x8 Gen3 interfaces (providing up to
2x50G Ethernet bandwidth) that are routed to two switch sleds, respectively.
Each switch sled is connected to four CPU sleds via four PCIe x8 Gen3 interfaces, and they
provide a maximum of 36x10G or 4x100G Ethernet ports for external communication. Of the
36x10G Ethernet ports, 20x10G are provided on the MXN-3610 front panel directly, and the
other 16x10G Ethernet ports are provided via a NIM-1610 switch IO card. Alternatively, the
NIM-1610 can be replaced with a NIM-0440 providing 4x40G Ethernet ports.
In addition, there is a Microsemi® VSC7512 GbE switch on the MXN-3610/MXN-4100 switch
sleds to provide an independent 1G control plane between the four compute switch sleds, as
well as two switch management COMe modules and two CMMs.

3 Assembling and Powering Up the CSA-7400
Insert the MXN-3610/4100 (switch sleds) and MCN-2600T/2610T (CPU nodes) into the
chassis as follows.
3.1 Inserting and Removing the CPU Sled
Insert the CPU sleds into the 4 slots in lower 2 layers.
1. Insert the CPU sled into one of the lower 4 slots and open the ejector handles as
shown.
Switch sleds
+ IO cards

2. Push the CPU sled into the slot until the front panel is flush with the chassis.
3. When the CPU sled is fully inserted into the chassis, the locking handles will be pulled
into the closed position and the front panel will be flush with the chassis.

15

4. Press inwards on the ejector handles until they lock into place. You will hear a “click”.

16
CSA-7400
To remove a CPU sled:
1. Pull outwards to release the locking latch of each ejector handle as shown.
2. Pull outwards on the ejector handles as shown to eject the CPU sled from the
chassis.
3. Pull back on the ejector handles to remove the CPU sled from the chassis.

3.3 Routing the VGA Cable on Switch Sled
Note: If you are using the MXN-3610/4100 with VGA cable connected, route the VGA cable
as shown below. Refer to the MXN-3610/4100 user’s manual for instruction on how to
connect the VGA cable to the switch board.

3.4 Connecting Power Cords to the CSA-7400
Power cords are connected to the CSA-7400 platform as shown below. Connect all of the
power cords to the AC power inputs. The CSA-7400 has a 3+1 redundant PSU design.
3.5 Powering Up the CSA-7400
When power is supplied to the CSA-7400, all components will power up automatically. The
behavior of the system when powered up is described below.
1. Cooling fans start speeding up as soon as power is applied to the system.
2. Power LEDs of both CPU and switch nodes turn ON (green).
3. CPU nodes start booting up: The status LED turns ON (red), indicating BIOS POST
status. After BIOS POST is completed, the status LED changes from red to green,
Indicating system status
Note: The BMC Watchdog timeout will turn off the status LED. If the BMC watchdog
is not enabled, the green status LED will stay on.
4. After a few seconds, the switch node A/S LED turns ON (steady or blinking)
indicating CM Active/Standby status.
