3.6.2 EIDE/ATA for Compact Flash
An EIDE/ATA-133 bus is derived from a SATA port on the ICH9 IO Hub via an
SPF223A SATA to IDE converter.
The Sun Netra CP3250 blade server contains one on-board 50-pin Type II Compact
Flash connector for use with a Compact Flash Card. The connector is located so that
access to the Compact Flash card is provided only when the card is removed from
the ATCA chassis.
3.6.3 SAS/SATA
The Sun Netra CP3250 blade server supports AMC drives (SAS or SATA), that
contain their own PCIe based controller chip connecting to the system via the PCIe
Bus. The Sun Netra CP3250 blade server supports an AMC that contains drives
using Port 2 or 3 SAS connections only when the Netra CP32x0 ARTM-HD is
present. The SATA lines from the ICH9 chip are not connected.
If present, the Netra CP32x0 ARTM-HD drives the AMC Port-2 signals. This support
speeds up to 3 Gb/sec.
There is no support for drives mounted directly to the blade server, and the Sun
Netra CP3250 blade server itself does not contain any native support for SAS or
SATA drives.
