Sun Fire X4140 Server Overview |
This chapter provides an overview of the features of the Sun Fire X4140 Server.
The following information is included:
The Sun Fire X4140 Server is an enterprise-class two-socket rackmount x64 system powered by the AMD Opteron processor, packing high performance room and for growth with three PCIe slots and 16 DIMM slots into a compact 1-RU footprint.
The product features are listed in TABLE 1-1.
AMD64 Opteron Socket F [1207] (1MByte L2 cache per processor chip) - dual core capable. Supports Single, Dual, and Quad core. |
|
16 DDR-2 DIMM slots. 8 DDR-2 DIMM slots per socket. Up to 800 MHZ memory speeds depending upon processor type and memory configuration. PC2-4200R 533 MHz Registered DIMMs with ECC PC2-5300R 667 MHz Registered DIMMs with ECC PC2-6400R 800 MHz Registered DIMMs with ECC 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, or 8 GB per DIMM See DDR2 DIMM Guidelines. |
|
4 ports, 10/100/1000 Mbps, auto-negotiating through two separate controllers. |
|
SAS (up to 8) or SATA (up to 4) SSDs. Up to 8 SFF SAS 73-GB or 146-GB 2.5-inch form factor drives. Support for hardware-integrated RAID 0 (striping) and RAID 1 (mirroring). Optional RAID Levels 0, 1, IE, 5, 5EE, 6, 10, 50, 60 with SAS drives. |
|
1 slimline DVD drive, supporting CD-R/W, CD+R/W, DVD-R/W, DVD+R/W. |
|
5 USB 2.0 ports: 2 in front, 2 in rear, plus 1 internal USB port. |
|
1 RJ-45 serial management port (SER MGT) (default connection to access service processor). 1 10-MB network management port (NET MGT) (to access service processor). |
|
3 standard low profile PCIe slots on three riser boards (x8 and x16 electrical/x16 mechanical). |
|
AC power: 100-120/200-240 V AC, 12/6 A, 50-60 Hz. 1 or 2 hot-swappable 650W power supply units (PSUs) to provide N+N redundancy, with energy efficient design. |
|
Solaris 10 OS with specific Sun Fire X4140 Server software components. |
|
Refer to the Sun Fire X4140, X4240, and X4440 Servers Product Notes for additional items.
The Sun Fire X4140 Server is based on an all-new chassis family.
The Sun Fire X4140 Server infrastructure boards are listed in TABLE 1-2.
The motherboard includes processor modules, slots for 16 DIMMs, memory control subsystems, and the service processor (Integrated LOM) subsystem. The server motherboard provides an integrated lights out management (ILOM) service processor function, which includes remote boot and remote software upgrades. The service processor (ILOM) subsystem controls the host power and monitors host system events (power and environmental). The SP ILOM controller draws power from the host’s 3.3V standby supply rail, which is available whenever the system is receiving AC input power, even when the system is turned off. |
Servicing the Motherboard Assembly Refer to the Sun Fire 4140, 4240 and 4440 Server Diagnostics Guide for ILOM sensor information. |
|
This board distributes main 12V power from the power supplies to the rest of the system. It is directly connected to the paddle card, and to the motherboard via a bus bar and ribbon cable. It also supports a top cover interlock (“kill”) switch. In the Sun Fire X4140 Server, the power supplies connect directly to the power distribution board. |
||
This board serves as the interconnect between the power distribution board and the fan power boards, Drives backplane, and I/O board. |
||
These boards carry power to the system fan modules. In addition, they contain fan module status LEDs, and they transfer I2C data for the fan modules. |
||
This board includes the connectors for the drives, as well as the interconnect for the I/O board, Power and Locator buttons, and system/component status LEDs. The Sun Fire X4140 Server has an eight-disk backplane. Each drive has an LED for power/activity, fault, and ok-to-remove. |
||
This board carries the front panel USB connections from the drives backplane. The board connects directly to the drives backplane. It is packaged with the DVD drive as a single unit. |
||
In the Sun Fire X4140 Server, each riser supports two PCIe cards. There are three risers per system, each attached to the rear of the motherboard. |
The 1U chassis form factor dimensions are listed in TABLE 1-3.
The Sun Fire X4140 Server internal cables are listed in TABLE 1-4.
