Sun Fire X4470 Server Product Notes

Card Placement and Cooling

If you are using the Sun Flash Accelerator F20 PCIe card, your configuration must meet the following requirements for proper installation and cooling:

• Do not connect devices to the internal SAS/SATA ports of the Sun Flash Accelerator F20 PCIe card. The Sun Fire X4470 does not support using this card as an internal host bus adapter (HBA).

• The HBA can be installed only in PCIe slots 9, 4, 8, 7, or 6, in that order of preference (slot 9 is the preferred slot to use for this HBA and slot 6 is acceptable but is the least desirable slot to use).

  ---

  Note -  If you are using a Sun Storage 6Gb SAS PCIe RAID HBA, that HBA must be installed in slot 4; therefore, slot 4 will not be available for the Sun Flash Accelerator F20 PCIe card.

  ---

• If you are using the Sun Flash Accelerator F20 PCIe card, you must use the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) available with Software Release 1.2.1 or later.

• With this HBA installed only in slots 9 and/or 4, the ambient temperature requirement for the server remains as follows:

  • Operating temperature: 5 ^oC to 35 ^oC (41 ^oF to 95 ^oF)

  • Nonoperating temperature: -40 ^oC to 70 ^oC (-40 ^oF to 158 ^oF)

• With this HBA installed in slot 8, slot 7, or slot 6, the ambient temperature requirement for the server is modified to the following:

  • Operating temperature: 5 ^oC to 32 ^oC (41 ^oF to 89.6 ^oF)
