■ 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 blade server ’s primary features are as follows:

■ ATCA card 322.25 mm x280 mm, 1.2 inch slot height

■ Two Harpertown Processor Sockets, QuadCore version @2.135 GHz and up to

40W per CPU

■ Intel San Clemente North Bridge and Intel ICH9R I/O controller hub

■ DDR2 (registered, with ECC) at 667 MHz, up to six modules/cards, up to 4 GB

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

BCM5715C) from PCIe x4

■ Two 10 Gb XAUI Ethernet extended fabric (PICMG 3.1) interface ports (using Sun

Neptune) from PCIe x8

■ One AMC.1 Type 8S2E2 expansion slot (PCIe x8) supporting I/O expansion with

signaling to the advanced rear transition module (ARTM)

■ One Asynchronous serial port routed to front panel and ARTM from SuperIO

1-2 Sun Netra CP3250 Blade Server User’s Guide • April 2009

■ Dual USB 2.0/1.1 ports on front panel

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

management LAN sent to ARTM (from BCM 5715C); these are not directly tied into IPM controller.

■ SATA to EIDE master to support one Compact Flash Type II socket up to 16 GB of

user Flash. Socket is only accessible when blade is removed from chassis

■ Redundant BIOS, 8MB

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

dual IPMB bus. The IPMB bus is to be monitored by the shelf manager, providing redundant IPMI channels

■ Rear I/O expansion/connectivity provided to an optional ARTM. Compatible

with Sun’s current ARTM architecture with upgrade capability to support PICMG working group ARTM.0 standard (Zone 3 Interface)

■ SAS connectivity from ARTM to AMC slot

■ Contains TPM (Trusted Platform module) chip

1.4 System Configurations

Sun Netra CP3250 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 ARTM network connection. The Sun Netra CP3250 blade server has an optional Compact Flash card and connectors for additional memory.

Chapter 1 Overview 1-7

1.4.1 AMC

The Sun Netra CP3250 blade server has one AMC slot, with eight lanes of PCIe, to provide additional I/O to the front panels or to the rear of the enclosure when used with an ARTM.

The Sun Netra CP3250 blade server supports AMC mid-height, single wide cards, as defined by the AMC specification.

1.4.2 Advanced Rear Transition Module

You can install one of the optional Netra CP32x0 advanced rear transition modules (ARTMs) into the rear of the ATCA shelf, opposite the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server.

For more information, refer to the following documentation: Sun Netra CP32x0 SAS Storage Advanced Rear Transition Module, Dual HD User’s Guide (820-3147) (ARTM-HD)

FIGURE 1-4 shows the physical relationship between the Sun Netra CP3250 blade

server, the ARTM, and the backplane in a typical ATCA system.

1-8 Sun Netra CP3250 Blade Server User’s Guide • April 2009

FIGURE 1-4 Netra CP3250 Blade Server, Backplane, and Relationship to ARTM

Note – When using the ARTM with the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server, use cables

of less than 10 meters in length for serial I/O ports.

Chapter 1 Overview 1-9

You can order a Netra 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 blade server and for a path for console I/O to deliver commands and read blade server and system status.

Possible boot and console configurations are described in Microsystems provides the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server and, optionally, a compatible Netra CP32x0 ARTM. The ARTM provides one 10/100/1000BASE-T per second Ethernet RJ-45 port from the host to the rear of the system. This port can be used to accomplish, optionally, a network boot as a diskless client. The other configurations require IHV hardware.

1.5 Hot-Swap Support

Hot-swap support for inserting and extracting blade servers is provided in accordance with the ATCA PICMG 3.0 and 3.1 standards.

Hot-swap of the CP3250, ARTM, and AMC is supported in the Netra CT 900 server.

1.6 System Components

This section contains the system-level hardware and software components, required and optional, for the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server.

1.6.1 Required Hardware Components

The Sun Netra CP3250 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 CP3250 blade server are:

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

board, shelf manager and power supply)

■ Console output device or serial terminal

■ Boot device (such as hard drive, network, or Compact Flash card)

■ Peripheral device for network access

■ IPMC (built in)

■ Cables for terminal and network connections

■ Netra CT 900 server fan tray upgrade kit (PN 594-4953-01). If you are installing

the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server in a Netra CT 900 server that has lower-speed fan trays, you must upgrade the Netra CT 900 server fan trays to support the additional cooling needs of the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server. For more information on the Netra CT 900 server fan tray upgrade kit (PN 594-4953-01), see the Netra CT 900 Server Upgrade Guide (820-3255).

Caution – You can damage the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server components if you

install the blade server in a chassis that does not provide sufficient cooling. For more information, see Section 2.2.1.1, “Check Power, Thermal, Environmental, and Space

Requirements” on page 2-4.

Chapter 1 Overview 1-11

Note – Use only serial cables that are less than 10 meters in length.

1.6.2 Optional Hardware Components

Sun Microsystems provides the following items for customer order:

■ Compact Flash card

■ AMCs

■ Netra CP32x0 ARTM (optional)

The ARTM is optional and must be ordered separately from the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server.

The optional ARTM enables rear system I/O access to the following:

■ Network

■ Boot device

■ Two hot-swappable SAS hard disk drives (optional)

■ Console terminal (FIGURE 1-3).

■ Sun Netra CP3240 switch (optional)

The Sun Netra CP3240 switch is capable of operating at 10 GbE, but is set by default to operate at 1GbE. To use the switch at 10 GbE, perform a one-time configuration procedure, available in the Sun Netra CP3x40 Switch Product Notes (820-3260).

1.6.3 Software Components

The following OSs are certified for use on Sun Netra CP3250 blade server:

■ Solaris™ 10 (05/08) Operating System (Solaris OS)

■ WindRiver Linux 3.1

■ RedHat Linux 5.2

■ Windows 2003

Additional OSs are being tested and will be supported after they are certified.
