Introducing the Sun Fire V60x and Sun Fire V65x Servers
|
This chapter gives an overview of the Sun Fire V60x and Sun Fire V65x servers. It lists the features of the servers, the contents of the ship kit, and summarizes the installation process.
This chapter contains the following sections:
1.1 Overview of the Sun Fire V60x and Sun Fire V65x Servers
The Sun Fire V60x and Sun Fire V65x servers are shown in FIGURE 1-1. The Sun Fire V60x server is a single- or dual-processor server in a 1 rack unit (1U) chassis (1U is 1.75" of vertical rack space). The Sun Fire V65x server is a single- or dual-processor server in a 2 rack unit (2U) chassis (2U is 3.5" of vertical rack space). The bezels shown in the figure are installed by the user.
FIGURE 1-1 Sun Fire V60x and Sun Fire V65x Servers
1.1.1 Sun Fire V60x Server
The Sun Fire V60x server is a 1U rack mount server chassis designed for use with the Ultra320 SCSI server board. The Sun Fire V60x server provides the following features:
- Two drive bays dedicated for hard disk drives (HDDs) and one flex bay that can support either a slimline CD ROM drive and floppy disk drive, or a slimline DVD ROM drive and floppy disk drive. A hard drive bay can be substituted for the CD ROM drive/3.5 inch drive or DVD ROM/3.5 inch drive.
- Full integration with the built in management features of the server board.
- Support for one low profile PCI X card and one full-height/full-length PCI X card on two separate riser boards.
- Redundant cooling.
- Front panel support for bootable USB 1.1 devices.
- Integrated dual Gigabit Ethernet
1.1.2 Sun Fire V65x Server
The Sun Fire V65x server is a 2U rack mount server chassis designed for use with the Ultra320 SCSI server board. The Sun Fire V65x server provides the following features:
- Six dedicated hard drive bays.
- One flex bay that can support either a slimline CD ROM drive and floppy disk drive, or a slimline DVD ROM drive and floppy disk drive. A tape drive bay can be substituted for the CD ROM drive/3.5 inch drive or DVD ROM/3.5 inch drive.
- Support for three low-profile PCI X cards and three full-height/full-length PCI X cards on two separate riser boards.
- Optional hot swap, redundant power supply.
- Full integration with the built in management features of the server board.
- Redundant cooling.
- Front panel support for bootable USB 1.1 devices.
- Integrated dual Gigabit Ethernet
1.1.3 Applications
The Sun Fire V60x and Sun Fire V65x servers are high-performance servers built for high-density rack-mount applications.
The Sun Fire V60x server is ideally suited to support:
- Horizontally scalable applications
- Web services
- Security services
- Application front-end services
- Proxy and cache services
- Load-balanced server clusters
- High performance computing clusters
- Any application that requires a high-performance, high-density, and highly available server but has limited data storage requirements
The Sun Fire V65x server is ideally suited to support:
- Entry-level business services
- Entry-level database services
- Messaging services
- Any rack-mount application for a general-purpose expandable server
The Sun Fire V60x and Sun Fire V65x servers are primarily intended as building blocks for Internet infrastructure. This includes support for e-Business services as well as network-specific services.
1.1.3.1 e-Business Services
Examples of e-Business services include:
- Web/Horizontally Scalable Services
The Sun Fire V60x and Sun Fire V65x servers can supply both Internet and intranet horizontally scalable services that provide simple, static Web pages, or serve as a portal to more robust dynamic pages or a set of e-Business applications. This scenario typically uses a set of 1U servers configured as members of a load balancing cluster.
The Sun Fire V60x and Sun Fire V65x servers can provide streaming audio and/or video media to intranet and/or Internet users. This scenario typically employs a number of 1U servers connected to a large drive array.
You can use the Sun Fire V60x and Sun Fire V65x servers to provide inbound and outbound messaging for intranet and/or Internet users. This scenario can include one or more 1U servers acting as a relay agent for a larger email server where the relay server does not store messages and thus does not require significant storage capacity.
1.1.3.2 Network Infrastructure Services
Examples of network infrastructure services include:
The server provides firewall services, public key processing for secure transactions, and any other applications that provide network security. These services typically run on one or more 1U servers that are positioned between the users (both internal and external) and sensitive data on a secure network.
- Proxy Services and Web Caching Server
One or more servers located close to the edge of the secure network, but behind the firewall, can act as an intermediary between Web clients and Web server and/or cache commonly accessed Web objects (pages, graphics and sound). Proxy services provide a level of security and user control. Caching services typically improve the response times of commonly used Web sites, since the objects can be loaded from the cache over the local area network instead of pulling the objects from a remote site over a slower wide area network connection. These services typically run on a set of clustered 1U servers.
- Network Load Balancing Server
This is a specialized application that balances access requests among a set of servers providing identical services. Such an application is typically used with Web services but can be used for any number of other applications. This type of service can be provided by a dedicated application running on a single server that collects all inbound requests and distributes these requests evenly to a set of servers.
- High Performance Computing Cluster
This is a specialized application designed to pool the processing resources of multiple servers to act as a single server. High performance computing clusters are used in situations where large amounts of processing power are needed, such as rendering of large graphics, video editing and manipulation and calculating large mathematical equations. These clusters are designed around low-profile rack mount servers to maximize processor density in a rack.
1.1.4 Features
The Sun Fire V60x and Sun Fire V65x servers have the following hardware and software features (see Chapter 7 for more details):
- Hardware Features
- Single or dual Intel® Xeon self-terminating processors.
- Redundant processors for Fault Resilient Booting (FRB).
- Six DIMM sockets (a maximum of 12 GB of main memory with 2 GB DIMMs for the Sun Fire V65x server, and a maximum of 6 GB of main memory with 1 GB DIMMs for the Sun Fire V60x server).

1.8 Replaceable Components
The replaceable components on the Sun Fire V60x and Sun Fire V65x servers are shown in TABLE 1-3 and TABLE 1-4. Some of the components are considered to be customer-replaceable units (CRUs), and some are considered to be field-replaceable units (FRUs), replaceable only by an authorized Sun Microsystems, Inc. field service technician. Also, some components are extra-cost options that can be ordered from Sun Microsystems.
Note - If a FRU needs replacement, contact your local Sun Sales representative, who will put you in contact with the Sun Enterprise Service branch for your area. You can arrange to return the server to Sun for repair under the terms of your warranty. Or, if the server is under a Sun Service agreement, the FRU will be replaced by a Sun Service engineer. If a CRU needs replacement, you can either request a replacement part from Sun or return the entire unit for repair. All parts replaced under the server warranty must be returned to Sun within 30 days of receipt of the replacement part.

1.9 Optional RJ-45 to DB9 Serial Adapter Kit
The optional RJ-45 to DB9 Serial Adapter Kit consists of the following RJ-45 to DB9 adapter cables:
- DSR Peripherals cable (for rear panel Data Set Ready (DSR) peripherals).
- DCD Modem cable (for rear panel Data Carrier Detect (DCD) modem).
These adapter cables can be used to connect the COM2 Emergency Management Port (EMP) on the back of the server to a device such as a modem or serial concentrator to administer remote server management.
1.9.1 DSR Peripherals Cable
This cable is wired for serial concentrators that use the DSR signal. See Rear Panel RJ-45 Serial COM2 Connector for more information on how to use this adapter cable.
1.9.2 DCD Modem Cable
This cable is wired for serial concentrators that use the DCD signal, and for connecting to a modem. See Rear Panel RJ-45 Serial COM2 Connector for more information on how to use this adapter cable.
