Up to 8 DIMMs per processor for a maximum of 16 DDR3 DIMMs and a maximum of 512 GB of memory are supported in dual-processor systems. RDIMMs (8 GB and 16 GB) and LRDIMMs (32 GB) are supported.

Note - A maximum of 8 DIMMs and a maximum of 256-GB of memory are supported in single-processor systems.

Storage drives

Storage drive configurations can comprise both spinning media hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid state drives (SSDs). Configurations include:

Up to eight 2.5-inch hot-pluggable SAS HDDs/SATA SSDs
Up to four 2.5-inch hot-pluggable SAS HDDs/SATA SSDs with a DVD

Caution - In Oracle Engineered Systems, storage drive 7 might be populated with a remote battery module for the host bus adapter (HBA) card. The battery module is not a customer-replaceable unit and should not be removed or replaced by customers. For more information, refer to the Service, Battery Module.

PCI Express (PCIe) I/O slots

Three PCIe Gen3 slots that accommodate low-profile PCIe cards.

Slot 1: x16 electrical interface
Slots 2 and 3: x8 electrical interface

Note - PCIe slot 1 is nonfunctional in single-processor systems.

Internal HBA

One dedicated PCIe Gen3 slot for use with an optional internal-only host bus adapter (HBA) card. This internal HBA is used to control and manage the storage drives.

Ethernet ports

Up to four 10GBASE-T RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports on the rear panel.

Note - Ethernet ports NET 2 and NET 3 are nonfunctional in single-processor systems.

USB 2.0 ports

Two front, two rear, and two internal.

Note - One of the internal USB ports might be preinstalled with a USB drive containing the Oracle System Assistant. For more information, see the Oracle X4 Series Servers Administration Guide at http://www.oracle.com/goto/x86AdminDiag/docs.

Video (VGA) ports

One rear high-density DB-15 video port.

Service processor (SP)

The server includes an AST2300 service processor (SP). The SP provides IPMI 2.0 compliant remote management capabilities. The SP features:

Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) version 3.1.
Local Oracle ILOM command-line access using a serial connection.
Support for Ethernet access to SP through a dedicated, 10/100BASE-T management port (NET MGT) and optionally through one of the host Ethernet ports (sideband management).
Support for remote KVMS (keyboard, video, mouse, and storage) over IP.

Management Software

Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.1
Oracle System Assistance 1.1
Oracle Hardware Management Pack 2.2

Power supplies

Two hot-swappable and highly-redundant 600W power supplies.

Cooling fans

Four 40-mm, hot-swappable fan modules for chassis cooling. Each fan module contains two counter-rotating fan pairs (four rotors total).

Each power supply has its own cooling fans.

Operating systems

Oracle Solaris and Oracle Linux operating systems can be optionally preinstalled on the server.
Oracle Solaris, Linux, and Windows are supported. For a complete list of supported OS versions for your server, refer to the Sun Server X4-2 Product Notes at: http://www.oracle.com/goto/X4-2/docs
