Introduction

Deregulation and privatization has created intense competition in the worldwide telecommunications market over the past few years. The marketplace continues to evolve as voice and data solutions become more integrated and next-generation wireless, video and messaging technologies emerge. Growing demand for scalable and available services coupled with modern economic realities are re-shaping the design of the telecommunications infrastructure. Now more than ever, availability of key services can dictate success or failure, with stringent service-level agreements increasingly common. At the same time, today's challenging economic climate means that successful organizations must consider issues such as total cost of ownership (TCO) and investment protection to make sure their decisions make longterm business sense.

Just the Facts, August 2007 Sun Confidential: Internal and Sun Channel Partners Use Only 19

Overview

The Netra X4200 M2 server features two CPU sockets that support Next-Generation AMD Opteron, model 2214 HE (L1 socket) embedded class processors. The server is supported with one or two processors and each processor controls 2 pairs of DIMM slots, for a total of eight DIMM in a two CPU system. There is a 6.4 GB/sec. access between processor and memory and one 1GHz 16x16 HyperTransport link between the two processors (8 GB/sec. Bandwidth).Through HyperTransport, each processor can access the other processor's memory. In a system with a single CPU, the processor must be placed into the designated processor slot0 that connects to the rest of the I/O infrastructure; this processor only has access to 2 pairs of memory slots or maximum of 16GB using 4GB DIMMs.

The Netra X4200 M2 server supports 1 GB, 2GB and 4 GB registered DDR2-667 memory, for a system with up to a total of 32 GB of memory. For optimal performance in both servers, memory DIMMs need to be

installed in pairs so the processor is able to run in 128-bit ECC mode. Systems with an odd number of DIMMs are supported, but the processor will run in 64-bit ECC mode, reducing performance.

On-board management for the Netra X4200 M2 server is provided by a separately-powered Service Processor (SP) based on a Motorola MPC8248 microcontroller that communicates with the two main system processors and the rest of the system . Accessible to the end user through a serial port and a dedicated 10/100 Ethernet NIC, ILOM provides the administrator with full lights-out manageability of the these servers which includes the ability to power cycle, setup, manage, monitor and maintain the system locally or remotely. ILOM supports both local and remote management, including remote KVM and media connectivity. ILOM also provides industry standard GUI and CLI interfaces. IPMI 2.0 and SNMP V1, v2c, V3 support also enable fast integration into a customers' existing monitoring schema.

Refer to the Netra X4200 M2 server block diagram for more details.

Expansion Slots

The Netra X4200 M2 server is well equipped with both legacy PCI-X slots, and the more current PCI-E high-speed slot.

• PCI-Express Slots

PCI-Express (PCI-E) is a high speed, point-to-point dual simplex chip interconnect. It is designed as the next-generation system bus interconnect, replacing the aging PCI bus. PCI-E operates at 2.5GHz and supports lane widths of x1, x4, and x8 in the Netra X4200 M2 server.

One x8 PCI-E slot is provided. The slot can also accommodate x1 or x4 cards. Most cards, including InfiniBand cards, currently do not require more than a x4 slot for full bandwidth operation. Graphics cards are the only currently available device that can come close to requiring the full x16 operation that PCI-E can offer. These larger slots are usually provided specifically for graphics cards in highend 3D visualization-oriented workstations.

• PCI-X Slots

Three PCI-X slots are provided on the Netra X4200 M2 server to allow customers who need older PCI or PCI-X I/O cards to continue using the older generation of cards. The PCI-X slots are all fullheight and two are full-length while one is half-length. They were designed to be able to support legacy telco PCI cards that are still full height and full length.

The provided slots are both 133MHz, 64bit wide, 3.3V providing the highest speed available for the older cards that are available in PCI-X configurations.

Internal Hard Disk I/O Subsystem

The Netra X4200 M2 server supports up to four hard disk drives, controlled by an LSI SAS1064 controller providing four ports of SAS connectivity to disk drives at bandwidths of 3Gb/sec. full duplex for each disk.

Disks are NEBS Certified 146-GB, 10000-rpm SAS disks, 2.5-inch small form factor server grade, and are certified for 24x7 operation. Due to the small physical size of these drives and the high spindle speeds, access times to disk are extremely good. All disks are hot-pluggable.

A benefit of using small disks is that they allow designers to maximize the air intake area at the front of the server to improve airflow, further increasing environmental margins and server reliability.

Hardware RAID (striping and mirroring) is supported on the Netra X4200 M2 server. RAID technology allows for the construction of a logical volume, made up of several physical disks, to provide data redundancy, increased performance, or both. The Netra X4200 M2 server onboard disk controller supports the following RAID configurations:

• Integrated Stripe, or IS volumes (RAID 0)

• Integrated Mirror, or IM volumes (RAID 1)

Power Supplies

The Netra X4200 M2 server is equipped with a dual redundant hot-swappable power supply system. One power supply is sufficient to run a fully populated server, however for maximum protection against power supply failures, Sun recommends that both power supplies be installed in the system at all times.

The power supplies are rated at 550 watts each. In normal operation, the power supplies share the power demands of the system equally between the pair.

Refer to the Specifications section for more information on power ratings.

Solaris 10 OS – The most advanced operating system on the planet

Key Messaging

In a class by itself, the Solaris Operating System is a significant leap forward form the Solaris 9 OS, establishing it in a class by itself when compared to competing operating systems. It offers many innovative technologies that fundamentally change the equation for organizations needing to reduce costs, reduce complexity, and minimize risk. The new features in the Solaris 10 OS bring mainframequality software to even the smallest single-processor servers and provide a stepping stone into tomorrow's data center.

For CIOs and Line of Business Managers who are dissatisfied with high infrastructure costs and security vulnerabilities in their workgroup server environments, the Solaris 10 OS on x64 brings a proven, enterprise-class OS at 1/11th the cost of Microsoft and 20-60% off the cost of Red Hat over three years. The Solaris 10 OS is designed to help organizations optimize system utilization levels, deliver extreme performance and provide virtually unparalleled security – all with relentless, around-the-clock availability.

• Optimal Utilization of computing systems is a priority for IT managers where server consolidation is a

common approach and is improved in the Solaris environment by:

• Solaris Containers enable as much a 4x increase in system utilization by helping to efficiently and

securely support thousands of applications per system. Highly configurable, Solaris Containers can dynamically adjust system resources to business goals within and across Containers with the added benefit of isolating applications from each other and from system faults, so a problem in one application cannot affect the system or other applications.

• Solaris ZFS File System (zetabyte file system) integrates devices, storage, and file systems

structures into a single structure, simplifying file system management and providing a reliable and flexible solution that can help reduce cost, complexity, and risk.

• Extreme Performance is delivered with optimization for the latest UltraSPARC(R), AMD Opteron and

Intel Xeon processors as well as:

• Dynamic Tracing (DTrace), designed for use live use in production situations, is a powerful tool

for analyzing and diagnosing elusive problems and increasing system performance. It is noninvasive and has no system overhead when not in use, but with its pervasive coverage, root cause for intermittent system problems can be found quickly and performance gains in real-world applications have been optimized to run as much as 30 times faster.

• A Unified TCP/IP Stack where the TCP and IP layers are partially merged, delivers a 30- to 50-

percent improvement in network throughput with a 10- to 15-percent lower CPU load than previous Solaris OS versions.

• Unparalleled Security continues to be a focus as Solaris 10 OS adds significant features that can help

defend against attacks by preventing unauthorized access to data and applications with:

• Process Rights Management replaces the traditional UNIX(R) platform's “all or nothing” root

mechanism with a fine-grained set of privileges for control over the resources and objects that processes can manipulate.

• Solaris Cryptographic Framework library secures data flows by providing a set of programming

interfaces for application-level and kernel-level cryptographic operations, allowing developers to utilize highly optimized cryptographic algorithms and providing transparent access to the same hardware encryption acceleration devices used by the operating system kernel.

• Relentless Availability – Expected in a Solaris OS environment, predictive self-healing

technologies provide new levels of application availability with:

Just the Facts, August 2007 Sun Confidential: Internal and Sun Channel Partners Use Only 26

• Solaris Fault Manager proactively handles system problems by removing components before

failure. CPU, memory and I/O problems are diagnosed and corrected – before they can cause downtime.

• Solaris Service Manager manages application software running on the system, monitoring

applications and restarting entire application trees if necessary.

Compatibility

• Same OS—Low-End to High-End Systems. The Solaris OS is built from a single source base and

optimized to run on multiple platforms, providing customers with the same best of breed OS on SPARC, Opteron AMD64 64-bit, and x86 32-bit processor-platforms.

• Solaris Application Guarantee Program. This program guarantees binary compatibility between

versions of Solaris OS on each platform and has been extended to include source code compatibility as well.

• Linux Compatibility. With unwavering support for interoperability and open standards, and a

commitment to delivering customer choice, Sun has made Linux interoperability a high priority.

• Six Key Linux Libraries included in Solaris OS are: Glib, Gtk+, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and XML2

• Hundreds of Linux applications and libraries are provided with the Solaris OS including the

GNOME desktop.

• Linux Compatibility Assurance Toolkit (LinCat) helps to simplify the process of porting Linux

applications to run natively on the Solaris OS.

Pricing/Support

Solaris 10 OS is free to end-users upon registration and is available via free download . Media kits are available for purchase. Support is available at an additional charge.

System Management

Sun Integrated Lights-Out-Manager (ILOM)

Sun Integrated Lights-out Manager is driven by an integrated system service processor that follows x86 standards and is different from SPARC(R) technology-based system remote management solutions. It provides for full remote KVMS (Keyboard, Video, Mouse, Storage) support together with remote media functionality. Lights-out management (LOM) is achieved using an on-board, independently powered service processor with its own robust, security hardened OS. ILOM provides remote administration via an intuitive browser-based GUI, DTMF CLI, remote console, SNMP v1, v2c, v3 or IPMI v2.0 protocols using the out-of-band management Ethernet, or using in-band communication through the server's operating system. With out-of-band management, the system administrator can remotely control power of the system, monitor system FRU status, and load system firmware With in-band management, the system administrator can monitor system status and control system power down.

The Service Processor (SP) provides the following functions:

• Capability to remotely manage the server through remote keyboard, video, mouse, and storage

redirection

• Extensive control and reporting over environmentals, power, hardware and BIOS/OS features

• Remote flash upgrades of system BIOS and service processor software

ILOM Watchdog Timer

ILOM features a watchdog mechanism to detect and respond to system hang, should one ever occur. The ILOM watchdog is a timer that is continually reset by a user application as long as the operating system and user application are running. In the event of a system hang, the user application is no longer able to reset the timer. The timer will then expire and will perform an action set by the user, eliminating the need for operator intervention.

One of the benefits of the Netra X4200 M2 Watchdog Timer functionality is the end-to-end coverage, from power-on-reset, through BIOS and OS boot, to user application execution. If enabled in the BIOS setup menus (default operation is disabled), the ILOM WDT will be set by initial BIOS code execution to a configurable timeout threshold. If this time limit expires before the OS can boot, start critical services, and the application begins to reset the timer, the ILOM can be configured to reset or power-off the host server, generating an alert for remote management.

Standardized IPMI management interfaces will be provided to the user application to configure and reset the ILOM watchdog function (final implementation plan is TBD).

General Configuration Notes:

1. Single processor systems can be expanded with a second CPU of the identical model/speed only, e.g. AMD Opteron 1x2214 HE embedded class processor based system can only use another AMD Opteron 2214 HE

Just the Facts, August 2007 Sun Confidential: Internal and Sun Channel Partners Use Only 38

embedded class processor. Single processor system can also be expanded with one additional hard disk drive to a max. of two drives.

2. The entry-level single CPU standard configuration has only 2 memory slots that are usable; the other 4 memory slots only work if a second CPU is installed. This can be done by purchasing the optional second CPU option.

3. Memory must be installed in pairs. Pairs of different densities may be mixed, e.g. 2X1GB and 2x2GB on CPU 1 memory slots. Symmetry is best for memory performance on 2 CPU systems, e.g. 4 GB should have 2x1GB on CPU 1 memory slots and 2x1GB CPU 2 memory slots. While 5 GB would run (2x1GB on CPU 1, 2x2GBMB on CPU2), it will experience slower memory performance.

XATO Configuration Notes: (Availability August 2007)

1. XATO allows the configuration of systems to exact customer requirements. This provides the customer with a fully tested and configured system that requires little, if any, additional configuration prior to deployment. All XATO orders require a working configuration.

2. A minimum of one CPU option required. Single processor systems can be expanded with a second CPU of the identical model/speed only, e.g. AMD Opteron 1x2214 HE embedded class processor based system can only use another AMD Opteron 2214 HE embedded class processor.

3. A minimum of one memory option per CPU required. Memory must be installed in pairs. Pairs of different densities may be mixed, e.g. 2X1GB and 2x2GB on CPU 1 memory slots. Symmetry is best for memory performance on 2 CPU systems, e.g. 4 GB should have 2x1GB on CPU 1 memory slots and 2x1GB CPU 2 memory slots. While 5 GB would run (2x1GB on CPU 1, 2x2GB on CPU2), it will experience slower memory performance. A fully configured 32 GB system requires two CPUs. Only 16 GB memory is possible in a single CPU system. Example: A single CPU system can utilize up to 2 memory options (4 DIMMs total for a maximum of 16 GB). The unpopulated second CPU socket prevents the use of the second memory bank (4 DIMM slots).

4. A disk filler panel is required for any HDD slot not filled.

5. DVD filler panel is required when selecting the N87-AD-Z or the N87-AA-Z chassis.

Upgrades

Upgrade Paths

NetraTM X4200 M2 servers are eligible for the SunTM Upgrade Advantage Program (UAP). Through this program customers can trade-up their current Sun or non-Sun severs for a new Netra X4200 M2 server and receive a trade-in allowance that is applied as a percentage off of the list price on the new Netra X4200 M2 server. Customers can trade-in their old systems in on a 1 for 1 server basis or consolidate many servers.

Sun Upgrade Allowance Program (Sun UAP)

Since August 29, 2000, Sun has offered customers a simple, flexible, and easy-to-understand way of ordering server, storage or Desktop upgrades. The Sun UAP program works on a percentage-based upgrades model. This new model simplifies the upgrades process by providing a trade-in value as a percentage allowance. This percentage allowance can then be applied to the list price of a regular Sun system configuration.

Under the Sun UAP program, allowance codes or part numbers have been created and the percentage allowance is built into this part number (see below).

Allowance codes can be found in the Sun Pricebook starting with the September 2000 version. Note that allowance codes apply to configured systems.

Allowance Code Numbering Scheme

Below is an example allowance code, along with a breakdown of the components.

Allowance code = ALW-10-S-L-N87

• ALW = Upgrade identifier (All allowance codes start with ALW.)

• 10 = Allowance percentage – Percentage is applied to the list price of a standard marketing part

number. “10” means 10% off of list price, “08” means 8% off of list price, and so on.

(Note: Any other discounts such as volume discounts should also be taken off the list price and not the net of the above.)

• T = Desktop upgrades, S for server upgrades, and D for storage upgrades.

• L = Indicates the residue group—a way of grouping system in the Sun installed base. The letters A

through X are reserved for Sun systems. The letter Z is used for competitive systems.

• N87 = Identifies the product family that the customer is purchasing.

• P2 (if there is a promotion) = Promotion code—used for tracking corporate sponsored and other

types of promotions.

How to Determine the Right Allowance Code

Scenario: My customer has a Netra 1120 server and would like to upgrade to a Netra X4200 M2 server. What allowance part number should I select?

1. From left hand column select the platform the customer has.

2. The correct allowance part number appears in the right column. The correct number for the Sun Fire 280R server is ALW-10-S-L-N87. This part number is applied to the list price of the standard marketing part number. In this case it is a 10% allowance for the old Sun Fire 280R server.

Entry Level Server Upgrade and Allowance Matrix

Netra X4200 M2 Server

ALW-05-S-L-N87

ALW-10-S-L-N87

Upgrade Ordering Notes

The ALW code is applied the the system part number. Applying the allowance code will calculate the trade-in allowance percentage off of the list price of the new Netra X4200 M2 server. This trade-in allowance is used in addition to the customers VEU discount. For a complete list of eligible trade-in products you can go to http://ibb.eng/. The customer must order an RMA kit with each upgrade and the customer will be required to trade-in their old servers within ninety days of shipment of the new server. The allowance codes are not applicable to products in CAT D.

Sun Service Plans

Sun Global Customer Services offers a full range of services to assist customers who deploy the Netra X4200 M2 servers. Whether it is architecture services, implementation services, or services to help customers manage the servers once released to production, Sun has the right services during every phase of the project’s life cycle.

Sun provides a service plan to meet every customers needs: the SunSpectrumSM Service Plan for full system support ranging from basic to mission critical service levels and the Sun Software Service Plan.

• SunSpectrum Service Plans: Get integrated hardware and software support.

• Sun Software Service Plans: For fundamental software services such as technical phone or web-based

support and software maintenance (updates and upgrades), Sun offers two levels of service for production system software.

Why the Warranty Isn’t Enough

While computer system warranties provide business customers with some assurance of product quality, they do not provide many essential system services or operating system support. In addition, warranties provide default repair times and coverage hours which may not suit customer needs. It’s just that a warranty and a Service Plan are two very different things with two very different objectives. Break/fix is no way to live - make sure your customers have service plan coverage on all their active Sun systems. For more information go to http://www.sun.com/comparewarranty.

SunSpectrum Service Plans
