Environmental Requirements
TABLE 1-2
includes the environmental requirements that are specific for all Sun Blade
server modules.
• Server Module
HDDs
The following hard disk drives (HDDs) are available on the X8400 Server
Module:
• 73-GB (10k RPM) SFF SAS Drive, hot-pluggable, up to two per server.
• 73-GB (15k RPM) SFF SAS Drive, hot-pluggable, up to two per server.
• 146-GB (10k RPM) SFF SAS Drive, hot-pluggable, up to two per server.
• 80-GB (5k RPM) SFF SATA Drive, hot-pluggable, up to two per server.
• Standard
Components
• Service Processor (SP). One SP per server module. SP provides remote
KVMS functionality, IPMI baseboard management controller (BMC)
functionality, and interfaces to the chassis monitoring module (CMM).
The SPs and CMM work together to form a complete server module
and chassis management system.
• Flexible I/O Network Connectivity via Chassis Network Express
Modules (NEMs) or PCIe ExpressModules (EMs).
• Indicators and Buttons. The Sun Blade server module includes
standard service indicator LEDs and buttons. For more information, see
“Server Module Indicators and Buttons” on page 4
.
• Front Panel I/O Ports. The Sun Blade server module front panel
provides one VGA port, two USB ports, and one serial port. For more
information, see
“Attach Local Devices to Server Module” on page 25
.
Physical
Specification
The Sun Blade X8400 Server Module is approximately 19.5 x 18.5 x 1.87
inches (HxDxW) in a 1U form factor. The server module plugs in to a Sun
Blade Modular System, or
chassis
, which provides power to each module,
as well as cooling through fans.
