10 Gigabit Ethernet.
The Sun Blade 6000 modular system blade enclosure.
Command-line interface.
The Sun Blade 6000 disk module. The terms disk module and disk blade are used interchangeably.
Electrostatic discharge.
Fabric expansion module. The FEM is installed on a server blade in the Sun Blade 6000 modular system.
Field-replaceable unit.
Integrated Lights Out Manager. ILOM provides advanced server processor hardware and software to manage and monitor servers.
Long connector.
Long-range. A type of SFP+ module.
Long-range multimode. A type of SFP+ module.
Multimode fiber.
Network express module. The NEM is installed in NEM slot in the Sun Blade 6000 Series chassis to provide connectivity for FEMs (Fabric Expansion Modules) with the server blades installed in the Sun Blade 6000 Series chassis.
Terms used by NEM management software to identify multi-fabric NEMs occupying NEM slots in the chassis.
Optical module.
Quad small form-factor, pluggable. A transceiver specification for 4x 10GbE modules.
Revolutions per minute.
Any server module (blade) that can interoperate with a disk module (disk blade). Examples are the Sun Blade X6220, X6240, X6250, X6440, X6450, T6300, and T6320 server modules. The terms server module and server blade are used interchangeably.
A generic term that applies to any network express module that supports SAS connectivity. The Switched NEM is one example of a SAS NEM.
Sun Ethernet Fabric Operating System. A full-featured fabric and switch management software package for configuring and monitoring the Switched NEM’s network infrastructure.
System event log.
Small form-factor, pluggable. A transceiver module specification for several physical layer technologies. In this document, SFP+ refers to Gigabit Ethernet, or 10GbE, modules.
Single-mode fiber.
Short-range. A type of SFP+ module.
The Switched NEM that plugs into a Sun Blade 6000 chassis.
