1.2 Sun Fire X4150 Server Chassis Overview
The Sun Fire X4150 Server is based on an all-new chassis family.
1.2.1 Infrastructure Boards
The Sun Fire X4150 Server has the following boards installed in the chassis. The boards are listed in TABLE 1-2.

Description
|
Reference
|
|
Motherboard
FRU
|
The motherboard includes CPU modules, slots for 16 DIMMs, memory control subsystems, and the service processor subsystem (ILOM).
The ILOM service processor subsystem controls the host power and monitors host system events (power and environmental). The 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.
|
Section 4.6, Servicing the Motherboard Assembly
|
|
Power distribution board
FRU
|
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 X4150 Server, the power supplies connect directly to the power distribution board.
|
Section 5.5, Servicing the Power Distribution Board (PDB)
|
|
Paddle card
FRU
|
This board serves as the interconnect between the power distribution board and the fan power boards, Drives backplane, and I/O board.
|
Section 5.6, Servicing the Paddle Card
|
|
Fan power boards (2) FRU
|
These boards carry power to the system fan modules. In addition, they contain fan module status LEDs, and transfer I2C data for the fan modules.
|
Section 5.1, Servicing the Fan Power Boards
|
|
Drives backplane
FRU
|
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 X4150 Server has an eight-disk backplane. Each drive has an LED for power/activity, fault, and ok-to-remove.
|
Section 5.3, Servicing the Drives Backplane
|
|
Front I/O board
FRU
|
This board connects directly to the drives backplane. It is packaged with the DVD drive as a single unit.
|
Section 3.5, Servicing the DVD/USB Module
|
|
PCIe risers
FRU
|
There are three risers per system, each attached to the rear of the motherboard. In the Sun Fire X4150 Server, each riser supports one PCIe card.
|
