Identifying the Netra Chassis Models

This section replaces similar information in the service manual. There are four Netra 6000 chassis models. Two models are AC and two are DC. Some server modules and some components will only work together in a certain chassis, and that information is also provided in these product notes.

Netra 6000 Modular System Chassis Marketing Number	CMM ILOM Firmware	X6270 Server Module Support
N6000-AC 594-6438	3.x
N6000-DC 594-6726	3.x	Yes
N6000 AC 7100418 594-6893	4.x	Yes
N6000 DC 7100417 594-6892	4.x	Yes

This table shows chassis models supported with the server module and the minimum CMM ILOM firmware versions.

The most visible difference between the two chassis models is the CMM on the rear of the chassis:

The illustration shows the two different CMM LED arrangements.

Left: CMM (501-7379) on the N6000-AC 594-6438 chassis, and N6000-DC 594-6726 chassis.

Right: CMM (511-1531) on the N6000 DC 7100417 chassis and the N6000 AC 7100418 chassis.

Right - CMM (7019286 or higher product part number) on the 7100417 chassis and the 7100418 chassis. (This CMM is required to support the Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized 40GbE Network Express Module)

Server Module Firmware

During manufacturing, Oracle installs the latest available Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) and BIOS firmware on the server module. You should periodically check for firmware updates. Obtain the newest firmware from: https://support.oracle.com

The following table identifies the minimum supported ILOM and BIOS firmware versions.

TABLE 1-1 Minimum Supported Firmware
Hardware Updates	Software Release	ILOM Service Processor (SP) Firmware	BIOS Firmware for NX6270 M2 Server Module
N/A	1.0.1	3.0.9.23 59192	BIOS 08.05.01.14

Versions of Intel Microcode and Reference Code Used in the BIOS Firmware

The following table lists the versions of the Intel Microcode and Reference Code used in the BIOS firmware image for Software Release 1.0.

TABLE 1-2 Intel Microcode and Reference Code Used in BIOS Firmware for Software Release 1.0
Intel Software	Version
Intel CPU Microcode	SRV_C_87
Intel RC	p2.70
Intel CPU Reference Code	1.06
Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) Reference Code	1.85
Intel Memory Reference Code (MRC)	2.11
