4.1
System Firmware
The Sun Netra CP3060 blade server contains a modular firmware architecture that
gives you latitude in controlling boot initialization. You can customize the
initialization, test the firmware, and even enable the installation of a custom
operating system.
This platform also employs the Intelligent Platform Management controller
(IPMC)—described in
Section 5.1.6, “Intelligent Platform Management Controller”
—which controls the system management, hot-swap control, and some
blade server hardware. The IPMC configuration is controlled by separate firmware.
The Sun Netra CP3060 blade server boots from the 4-Mbyte system flash PROM
device that includes the power-on self-test (POST) and OpenBoot™ firmware.
