Feature
Description
Chassis compatibility
Sun Blade 6000 modular system with PCIe 2.0 midplane (standard with model A90–B).

The minimum CMM ILOM firmware required is 3.0.10.15, included in chassis software release 3.2.

Chassis midplane I/O
Depending on your server model, each node supports either a 1GbE or 10GbE interface through the chassis midplane to the NEM.

Note - Although a supported NEM might include both 1GbE and 10GbE ports, the server module only supports one interface type.


  • One (x8) PCIe 2.0 bus connection per node to a chassis PCIe EM slot. Node 0 is assigned to chassis blade PCIe EM slot 1, node 1 is assigned to chassis blade PCIe EM slot 0.

  • One 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet port per node with the 1GbE model (X6275M2–BB). The port for node 0 is assigned to a supported NEM in chassis slot NEM0, the port for node 1 is assigned to an supported NEM in chassis slot NEM1.

  • One 10GbE port per node with the 10GbE model (X6275M2–CB). The port for node 0 is assigned to a supported NEM in chassis slot NEM0, the port for node 1 is assigned to an supported NEM in chassis slot NEM1.

CPU
Up to four Intel Xeon Processor E5600 Series six-core processors per server module (two per node). Twelve cores per node, for a total of twenty–four cores per server module.

Note - Both nodes of the server module must be configured identically (CPUs and memory).


Dual-node design
Two independent, symmetric compute nodes, 0 and 1, in a single blade enclosure.
Front panel I/O
Two Universal Connector Ports (UCP), one per node, are available for use with the multi-port (dongle) cable. The multi-port cable provides the following interface connections:
  • VGA graphics port.

  • RJ-45 serial management port.

  • Dual USB ports (keyboard/mouse/USB drive).

Memory
  • Twenty-four memory slots total (12 slots per compute node). Slots support up to 1333 MHz low voltage DDR3, ECC registered, DIMMs.
  • Up to 96 GB of main memory per node using 8 GB DIMMs.

  • Up to 48 GB of main memory per node using 4 GB DIMMs.

  • Up to 2 DDR3 DIMMs per channel, 3 channels per installed processor.


Note - Both nodes of the server module must be configured identically (CPUs and memory).


Network Express Module (NEM) compatibility
Each node host requires a NEM for network I/O (for more on NEM requirements see Installation Prerequisites). NEM SAS ports (internal or external) are not supported.

The following NEMs are supported for the Sun Blade X6275 M2 with 1GbE (X6275M2–BB):

  • Sun Blade 6000 10p GbE Pass-Thru NEM (X4250A) — recommended.

  • Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized Multi-Fabric 10GbE M2 NEM (X4338A).

  • Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized Multi-Fabric 10GbE NEM (X4238).

  • Sun Blade 6000 Multi-Fabric NEM (X4212A).

The following NEM is supported for the Sun Blade X6275 M2 with 10GbE (X6275M2–CB):

  • Sun Blade 6000 Ethernet Switched 24p 10GbE NEM (X2073A) — no FEMs are required for the Sun Blade X6275 M2 server module.


Note - For the 10GbE model, the Sun Blade 6000 Ethernet Switched 24p 10GbE NEM does not provide a 1GbE interface and therefore the 1GbE interface, although present on each server node, is disabled by firmware.


Operating systems
Operating systems such as Oracle Solaris, Linux, Windows and Oracle VM are supported. For a complete list of supported OS versions for your server, refer to the Supported Operating Systems in Sun Blade X6275 M2 Server Module Product Notes.
Service Processor (SP)
Each node includes an AST2100 service processor (SP). The SP provides IPMI 2.0 compliant remote management capabilities. Each node SP features:
  • Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM version 3.0).

  • Local ILOM command-line access using a serial connection.

  • 10/100 management Ethernet port to midplane (shared by both node SPs).

  • Remote keyboard, video, mouse, and storage (KVMS) over IP.

Storage
  • Two internal slots for optional 24 GB SATA Sun Flash Modules (one per node).
  • Two internal ports for an optional USB 2.0 flash drive (one per node).


Note - Server module nodes do not support the installation of a RAID Expansion Module (REM) and therefore do not support internal chassis SAS connections to blade storage. However, each node has an assigned PCIe EM slot that could be used for an HBA connecting to external storage.


Video
A maximum resolution of 1280x1024 is supported with 8 MB of video memory.
