1.1 Overview of the Netra T1 Server

FIGURE 1-1 The Netra T1 Server

The Netra T1 AC200 and DC200 servers are single-processor, thin (1 U) servers
designed primarily for use by telecommunications carriers and internet service
providers. They are also suitable for use within corporate customer networks,
wherever there is a need to maximize the density of high-performance Solaris
servers.

The Netra T1 AC200 server is powered by an AC supply. The Netra T1 DC200 server
is powered by –48VDC/–60VDC supplies. This is the only difference between the
two models.

The Netra T1 server has the following features:

■ Rackmounting enclosure with single power supply

■ UltraSPARC

■ Four DIMM sockets accepting 256- or 512-Mbyte PC133 memory modules (giving

TM

IIe 500 MHz processor

a maximum of 2 Gbytes of memory)

■ One 33-MHz, 32-bit, 5V PCI card slot

■ Two 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports
