Sun Blade 8000 Modular System: Hardware Specifications

Note: These specifications are for the chassis. Memory, CPU, internal storage, and PCI I/O are provided by the Server Modules (Blades). Reference the Servers/Blade section of the Sun System Handbook's Systems List to find Server Modules.

Capacity
Number
  • Up to 20 optional PCI ExpressModules.
  • Up to 4 optional PCI Express Network Express Modules (NEM).
  • Up to 10 hot-pluggable Sun Blade Server Modules.
  • 6, 3000-Watt, grid redundant power supplies; up to 735W budgeted per blade; 9000W total system power.
  • 3 fan modules to cool the PCI Express ExpressModules.
  • Up to 2 redundant Chassis Monitoring Modules with failover capability.
  • 9 high-performance fans to cool the blades.
  • 160 Gbps of I/O throughput via PCIe lanes to the midplane
Management Environment
The Sun Blade 8000 Modular System has a tiered system management architecture that allows management at either the chassis level or the Server Module level.
Common System Management for both the Chassis and the Server Module
  • Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM) 1.1 with RKVMS (Remote Keyboard Video Mouse) is pre-installed on the CMM and the SP. ILOM will run on standby power. Note: Accessing ILOM through Mozilla will require Mozilla version 1.7.5 or greater.
  • Support for Sun N1 System Manager 1.3.1.
  • Compatibility for third-party SNMP system managers with requirements for SNMP (v1, v2C, v3) and IPMI (2.0).
  • System management is consistent with Sun Fire X4100 and Sun Fire X4200 servers.
Sun Blade 8000 Chassis Monitoring Module (CMM)
  • For redundancy, a second CMM is optional.
  • 1 RJ-45 dedicated management network 100BaseT port for Secure Shell CLI to ILOM, web GUI access to ILOM, IPMI 2.0, and SNMP v1, v2C, and V3.
  • A DB-9 serial port to access ILOM CLI.
  • 1 RJ-45 AUX port is currently not functional.
  • The CMM's network ports are independent and do not interfere with network data traffic on, for example, a Network Express Module (NEM) communication option.
  • Connections to CMM's Serial Management (DB-9 SERIAL MGT) port:
    • Laptop USB to SERIAL MGT port via serial null modem or cross over cable.
    • Network to Dongle DB9F to RJ45F, DCE Adapter (part number 530-3813 ships with chassis) to SERIAL MGT port.
  • Managing through the CMM does allow Server Module level management.
Power Supplies
Number Six, hot-plug / hot-swap, high-efficiency(~87%) power supplies are provided in a 3+3 redundant configuration.
Output 3000 W per power supply
Standard Integrated Interfaces
Network The Sun Blade 8000, without an optional EM or NEM, does not offer network or I/O connectivity.
Network Management The CMM provides one RJ-45 100BaseT port and a DB-9 Serial Management port, the Server Module provides a DB-9 serial port. Reference the Management Environment section.
PCI Interfaces The Sun Blade 8000 Modular System I/O is architected using PCI Express technology with total I/O output of 1,920 Gbps when fully populated with 10 Server Modules. The Sun Blade 8000 chassis can support:
  • Up to two optional I/O PCI Express ExpressModules (EMs)
    and
  • Up to four Network Express Modules (NEMs)
  • USB Each optional Server Module provides two USB 2.0 ports.
    Video Each optional Server Module provides a VGA Video connection to the ATI Rage XL graphics chip.
