Sun Fire X4440 Server Overview |
This chapter provides an overview of the features of the Sun Fire X4440.
The following information is included:
The Sun Fire X4440 Server is an enterprise-class four-socket rackmount x64 system powered by the AMD Opteron processor, packing high performance and room for growth with six PCIe slots and 32 DIMM slots into a compact 2-RU footprint.
The product features are listed in TABLE 1-1.
|

|
The Sun Fire X4440 Server is based on an all-new chassis family.
The Sun Fire X4440 has the boards listed in TABLE 1-2 installed in the chassis.
|
The motherboard is on a removable tray. It has 16 DIMM slots and the service processor (ILOM) subsystem. Hyper-transport connector slots to a mezzanine tray support two additional processors and memory. The server motherboard provides an integrated lights out management (ILOM) service processor function, which includes remote boot and remote software upgrades. The service processor (ILOM) subsystem controls the host power and monitors host system events (power and environmental). The iILOM controller draws power from the host’s 3.3V standby supply rail, which is available whenever the system is receiving AC input power, even when the system is turned off. |
Servicing the Motherboard Assembly Refer to the Sun Fire 4140, 4240, and 4440 Server Diagnostics Guide for ILOM sensor information. Refer to the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager 2.0 User's Guide |
|
|
This removable mezzanine tray includes 2 additional CPU modules, slots for 16 DIMMs, and memory control subsystems. |
||
|
This power distribution board board distributes main 12V power from the power supplies to the rest of the system. It is directly connected to the Vertical PDB card, and to the motherboard through a bus bar and ribbon cable. It also supports a top cover interlock (“kill”) switch. In the Sun Fire X4440, the power supplies connect to the power supply backplane which connects to the power distribution board. |
||
|
This vertical power distribution board serves as the interconnect between the power distribution board and the fan power boards, drives backplane, and I/O board. |
||
|
This board connects the power distribution board to power supplies 0 and 1. |
||
|
These boards carry power to the system fan modules. In addition, they contain fan module status LEDs and transfer I2C data for the fan modules. |
||
|
This board includes the connectors for the drives, as well as the interconnect for the I/O board, Power and Locator buttons, and system/component status LEDs. The Sun Fire X4440 has an eight-disk backplane. Each drive has an LED indicator for power/activity, fault, and ok-to-remove. |
||
|
This board carries the front panel USB connections from the drives backplane. The board connects directly to the drives backplane. It is packaged with the DVD drive as a single unit. |
||
|
In the Sun Fire X4440, each riser supports two PCIe cards. There are three risers per system, each attached to the rear of the motherboard. |
The Sun Fire X4440 internal cables are listed in TABLE 1-3.
