Sun Blade 8000 P 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 2 PCI Express Network Express Modules (NEM).
  • Up to 10 hot-pluggable Sun Blade Server Modules.
  • 4, 3000-Watt, N+1 redundant power supplies; 9000W total system power.
  • 9 fan modules each with 2 independent fans.
  • Up to 2 redundant Chassis Monitoring Modules with failover capability.
  • Up to 64 Gbps of I/O throughput via PCIe lanes to the midplane.
Management Environment
The Sun Blade 8000 P 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.
  • 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 P 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.
  • 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.
Sun Blade Server Module Service Processor (SP)
  • Server Module management (ILOM) can be accessed directly via the dedicated DB-9 serial port located on the front of the Server Module or via the CMM.
Power Supplies
Number Four, hot-plug / hot-swap, hihg efficiency _90% power supplies are provided in a N+1 redundant configuration.
Output 3000 W per power supply
Standard Integrated Interfaces
Network The Sun Blade 8000 P, without an 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 P Modular System I/O is architected using PCI Express technology. The Sun Blade 8000 chassis supports up to two optional Network Express Modules (NEMs), providing up to 64 Gb/s of I/O per blade server module. Only two of the x8 PCI Express slots per Server Module are allocated to the 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.
