FMod Flash Module. A user-installable high performance solid-state storage device

(similar to a DIMM) that acts like a SATA disk and uses ash memory technology for increased data access speeds.

ILOM Oracle'sIntegrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is the embedded management

software that runs on the server module node SP and CMM that enables you to manage your system.

For additional information about ILOM, refer to the Integrated Lights Out Manager documentation.

Product Description

The Sun Blade X6275 M2 server module is a dual-node high-density computing blade for cloud, middleware, and virtualized environments. The server blade's two compute nodes (Node 0 and Node 1) are housed on a single motherboard in a single blade enclosure. The server module is only supported in the Sun Blade 6000 modular system chassis.

management controller" (BMC). Each node of the server blade has its own dedicated SP. The Sun Blade 6000 modular system chassis also has its own SP called the chassis monitoring module (CMM).

The server is available in two models:

■

The Sun Blade X6275 M2 server module with GbE (X6275M2–BB).

■

The Sun Blade X6275 M2 server module with 10GbE (X6275M2–CB).

The following illustration shows the layout of the main system components:

Sun Blade X6275 M2 ServerModule Installation Guide • March 2012, Rev A, 701077410

Figure Legend

Product Description

1 Node 0 2 Node 1

3 AST2100 service processors (one per node) 4 Flashmodules (one per node)

5 CPUs (two per node) 6 Memory DIMMs (12 per node)

The server module is congured as follows:

■

Both server module compute nodes are identical and symmetric, but are fully independent of each other. Each node supports two CPUs and 12 cores of compute density.

■

Each node is based on a two-socket six-core Intel Xeon 5600 series platform that includes the Intel 5500 chipset (IOH–24D Northbridge and ICH10 Southbridge) and network I/O.

■

Each node supports up to twelve low voltage DDR3 DIMMs (up to 96 GB of main memory using 8 GB DIMMs).

Note – Both nodes of the server module must be congured identically (CPUs and memory).

■

The following network interfaces are available:

■

One 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet port per node using the embedded Intel 82567 GbE controller (server module model X6275M2–BB).

Product Features

—Or—

■

One 10GbE ports per node using the embedded Mellanox ConnectX–2 controller and XAUI (server module model X6275M2–CB).

Note – The 10GbE signal for this model is generated by the embedded Mellanox

ConnectX-2 controller, and therefore no Fabric Expansion Modules (FEM) are required. The only 10GbE NEM currently supported for this model is the Sun Blade 6000 Ethernet Switched 24p 10GbE NEM (X2073A).

■

Each node has its own service processor based on the AST2100 chip providing Oracle Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM version 3.0), and a shared 10/100 Ethernet management port.

■

Each node supports the addition of an optional 24 GB Sun Flash Module (FMod), which provides fast and reliable solid-state storage and a secure local boot source for the node.

Note – Server module nodes do not support the installation of a RAID Expansion Module

(REM). However, each node has one chassis PCIe EM slot available which could be used for a supported external host bus adapter (HBA) connected to external storage.

■

Each node has an internal USB port (under the service processor board at the back of the blade) for the addition of an optional USB ash drive for local storage.
