1.1 Overview

The Sun Netra CP3220 blade server is a high-performance, single-board computer based on an AMD Opteron X64 processor. The blade server is designed for high availability in a switched network computing environment. This blade server is compliant with Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) specifications (PICMG 3.0 and PICMG 3.1). It can achieve greater performance levels than previously supported CompactPCI® (cPCI) standards-based products targeted for Telco markets.

The ATCA standard comprises the PICMG 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 versions of the standard. The Sun Netra CP3220 blade server complies with the following specifications:

■ PICMG 3.0, the base specification that defines the mechanical, power distribution,

system management, data transport, and regulatory guidelines

■ PICMG 3.1, which builds on the PICMG 3.0 base specification and on

IEEE 802.3-2003

1.2 Features

The Sun Netra CP3220 blade server features include:

■ ATCA card 322.25 mm x 280 mm, 1.2 inch slot card height

■ One 1207-pin socket, AMD Opteron dual or quad core versions at up to 68w

■ Double Data Rate (DDR-2) DIMMs, at up to 667 MHz DIMMs (8 modules per

card), up to 4-Gbyte/DIMM, in Very Low Profile design (0.72’ height)

■ nVidia MCP-55 PCIe and Southbridge media controller

■ Two AMC.1 Type 4S2E2 expansion slots (PCIe x4) supporting I/O expansion with

signaling to the Rear Transition Module (RTM)

■ Two 1000 BASE-T Ethernet base fabric (PICMG 3.0) interface ports (using

BCM5715C) from PCIe 4x

■ Two 10 Gigabit XUAI Ethernet Extended Fabric (PICMG 3.1) interface ports

(using Sun 10 GbE Multithreaded Networking ASIC) from PCIe x8

■ One Asychronous Serial port to RJ 45 on front panel, from SuperIO

■ One 10/100/1000BASE-T management port on front panel, with second

management LAN sent to the advanced rear transition module (ARTM)

1-2 Sun Netra CP3220 Blade Server User’s Guide • January 2010

■ E-IDE master to support one Compact Flash socket supporting up to 16-Gbyte

user flash (accessible when blade is removed from chassis)

■ Management support using on-board IPM controller (Renesas H8) that provides a

dual IPMB bus and IPMI redundant channels

■ Rear I/O expansion provided to an optional RTM, compatible with

AdvancedRTM shared architecture RTMs

■ SAS/SATA connectivity from RTM to each AMC slot (local MCP-55 SATA ports

are not used)

■ Supports AdvancedRTM Shared Architecture Zone 3 connector plans

■ Contains location for Trusted Platform Module chip (Infineon SLB 9635 TT 1.2),

which conforms to TCG v1.2 specifications

■ Designed to fit in a NEBS-compliant ATCA chassis

1.4 System Configurations

Sun Netra CP3220 blade servers can be installed into an ATCA shelf (chassis), as shown in configurations to suit user requirements. For example, the blade server can be configured to boot from a network as a diskless client with either a front panel or advanced rear transition module (ARTM) network connection. The Sun Netra CP3220 blade server has a slot for a Compact Flash card (optional) and 8 DIMM sockets for memory.

ATCA backplane

Note – When using the Sun Netra CP32x0 ARTM with the Sun Netra CP3220 blade

server, use shielded cables of less than 10 meters in length for serial I/O ports.

Caution – You must use shielded cables for all ports to satisfy EMI compliance

standards.

You can order the CP32x0 ARTM, build a custom module, or buy one from an IHV. You must set up a minimal set of I/O for a boot path for the host board and for a path for console I/O to deliver commands and read board and system status.

Possible boot and console configurations are described in Microsystems provides the Sun Netra CP3220 blade server and optionally, a compatible Sun Netra CP32x0 ARTM. This module provides one

Chapter 1 Introduction 1-11

1.5 Hot-Swap Support

In general, the hot-swap process includes the orderly connection of the hardware and software. The process uses hardware connection control to connect the hardware in an orderly sequence. The process includes the use of pins of different lengths to accomplish signal sequencing to protect the hardware and avoid corrupting the system interface. For further details on hot-swap standards, see the ATCA hot-swap specification.

The ATCA specification describes three hot-swap models: basic hot-swap, full hot-swap, and HA hot-swap. When a Sun Netra CP3220 blade server functions as a node board it supports all three hot-swap models.

1.6 System Components

This section contains the system-level hardware and software components, required and optional, for the Sun Netra CP3220 blade server.

1.6.1 Required Hardware Components

The Sun Netra CP3220 blade server cannot be used as a stand-alone system. It is designed to be used in an ATCA chassis for 8U boards. The minimum hardware requirements needed to use the Sun Netra CP3220 blade server are as follows:

■ ATCA system enclosure for 8U boards (includes shelf, backplane, hub/switch
