Sun Fire Product Overview
|
This chapter discusses the features and capacity of four Sun Fire servers:
- Sun Fire 6800 system
- Sun Fire 4810 system
- Sun Fire 4800 system
- Sun Fire 3800 system
This family of servers provides entry-level to high-end server functionality. The Sun Fire 6800 system has space for internal peripherals mounted within the 19-inch cabinet. You have the flexibility with the remaining three systems to install them in industry-standard 19-inch cabinets or have them preinstalled in a Sun Fire systemcabinet. The Sun Fire system cabinet can hold one Sun Fire 4810 system, one Sun Fire 4800 system, or a maximum of three Sun Fire 3800 systems.
1.1 Standard Features
The standard features of these systems include:
- Rackmountable in industry standard 19-inch rack1
- Support for up to 24 CPUs and 192 Gbytes of memory
- Support for up to 32 I/O slots, PCI, and CompactPCI I/O modules
- Extensive redundancy
- System controllers
- Support for multiple domains
- Concurrent hardware maintenance
- Common components
- Redundant power and cooling
- 9.6-Gbyte bus bandwidth

1.2 Machine Configurations
Four machine configurations are available:
- Sun Fire 6800 system
- Sun Fire 4810 rackmountable system
- Sun Fire 3800 rackmountable system
- Sun Fire 4800 deskside or rackmountable system
1.2.1 Sun Fire 6800 System
The Sun Fire 6800 system has support for six CPU/Memory boards, four I/O assemblies, four Repeater boards and two System Controller boards. Although there are four Repeater boards, they are logically two redundant repeaters (two boards together make up one logical repeater).
