Server Supported Components

This section describes the components that are supported in the Sun Fire X4470 Server.

Sun Fire X4470 Server Supported Components and Capabilities

The following table describes the components and capabilities of the Sun Fire X4470 Server.

Table 1-2 Sun Fire X4470 Server Components and Capabilities

Component	X4470 Server
CPU	Supported configurations: Two processors installed in socket 0 and socket 2 Four processors installed in sockets 0 through 3 For the latest information on CPU specifications, go to the following web site and navigate to the appropriate page: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/sun-x86/overview/index.html
Memory	Up to eight memory riser modules are supported (two risers per CPU) in the server chassis. Each riser module supports eight RDIMMs, allowing up to sixteen RDIMMs per processor. A 2-socket system using four riser modules populated with 8-GB RDIMMs supports a maximum of 256 GB of system memory. A 4-socket system using eight riser modules populated with 8-GB RDIMMs supports a maximum of 512 GB of system memory.
Storage devices	For internal storage, the server chassis provides: Six 2.5-inch drive bays, accessible through the front panel. The supported drive interfaces for each bay depend on the host bus adapter (HBA) chosen. An optional slot-loading DVD+/-RW drive on front of the server, below the drive bays. This SATA DVD connects to a USB-SATA bridge, so that is appears to the system software as a USB storage device. One internal high-speed USB port on the motherboard. This port can hold a USB flash device for system booting.
USB 2.0 ports	Two front, two rear, and one internal
VGA ports	One front and one rear high-density DB-15 video port Note - The rear VGA port supports VESA Device Data Channel for monitor identification.
PCI Express 2.0 I/O slots	Ten PCI Express 2.0 slots that accommodate low-profile PCIe cards. All slots support x8 PCIe connectors. Two slots are also capable of supporting x16 PCIe connectors. Slots 0 and 9: x4 electrical interface Slots 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8: x8 electrical interface Slots 3 and 5: x8 or x16 electrical interface (x16 connector) Note - PCI Express slots 3 and 5 will operate as x16 interfaces only when an x16 capable card is installed and the adjacent slot (4 or 6) is unpopulated.
Cluster card slot	One specialized slot dedicated for use in Sun Storage appliances. The Sun Fire X4470 does not support populating this slot with standard PCIe cards.
PCI Express I/O cards	For a list of I/O cards that are customer-orderable options, go to the following web site and navigate to the appropriate page: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/sun-x86/overview/index.html
Ethernet ports	Four 10/100/1000 RJ-45 GbE ports on rear panel Each Network Interface Controller (NIC) supports Intel QuickData Technology, Intel I/OAT, VMDq, PCI-SIG SR-IOV, IPSec offload, and LinkSec.
Service processor	Integrated Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), which supports the industry-standard IPMI feature set Supports remote KVMS, DVD and floppy over IP (optional license required) Includes serial port Supports Ethernet access to SP through a dedicated 10/100BaseT management port and optionally through one of the host GbE ports (sideband management)
Power supplies	Two hot-swappable power supplies, each with 2000 Watts capacity (from 200 Volts to 240 Volts), auto-ranging, light load efficiency mode and redundant over-subscription
Cooling fans	Six hot-swappable, redundant fans at chassis front (top-loading); redundant fans in each power supply
Management software	Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM)
