Features

The Netra SPARC T3-1BA blade server is an ATCA node board based on the SPARC T3 processor. It is hot-swappable to an ATCA midplane and supports dual 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet interfaces as Base interfaces and 10-Gb XAUI Ethernet interfaces as Fabric interfaces to support a redundant Dual Star topology.

The blade server’s primary features are described in the following table.

Feature	Description
CPU	SPARC T3 processor, 12 cores, 8 threads per core
Memory	DDR3 DIMMs (registered, ECC) at 1067 MHz, in VLP design 8 DIMM slots (1 per channel or 2 per MCU) 2-GB or 4-GB FB-DIMMs, up to a maximum of 32 GB, cooling and power permitting Power targets are 7 to 8 watts per DIMM, with each consuming approximately 10 watts Higher capacities available in subsequent releases
Service processor	AST2200 for CPU reset, boot, partition, and FMA
Power	Low power and high power versions from 225 to 300 watts maximum, with a maximum of 1100 watts per zone Dual-redundant input 48V to derive on-board power Built-in over-current and over-voltage protection
Cooling	32 to 35 CFM at 55oC (131 oF)
PICMG compliance	Single-wide ATCA module ATCA 8U form factor 6-HP slot width PICMG 3.0 and newer RoHS 6/6 compliance
Node server	Functions as a CPU node server with Oracle Solaris OS and software packages
Operating systems	Oracle Solaris 10 OS (9/10) and subsequent compatible versions with supported Netra patches
Internal I/O (connections to ATCA midplane)	Dual 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet for Base interfaces 10G XAUI to Fabric interface on midplane or to ARTM Management support using on-board IPM controller (Renesas H8) that provides dual IPMB. The IPMB bus is monitored by the shelf manager, providing redundant IPMI channels.
External I/O	One 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet maintenance port, configurable to front or rear panel One asynchronous serial port in front or back Dual USB 2.0 compliant ports on the front panel Rear access available for Netra CP32x0 ARTMs. With a Netra CP32x0 ARTM installed, both the front panel and ARTM serial ports are active. Either serial port can be used, but only one of the serial ports can be used at a time.
IPMI system management	Uses IPMI communications with BMC: performs ASM on local board interface (for example, temperature, FRUID, and control)
Hot-swap	Yes
Front panel I/O	One 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port Dual USB 2.0 compliant ports One serial port (RJ-45) ATCA-compliant LEDs
Rear panel interfaces	One 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port One asynchronous RS-232 serial port (RJ-45) Common ARTM interface supporting the Sun Netra CP32x0 ARTMs and compliant third-party ARTMs ARTM support compatible with Oracle’s current ARTM architecture with upgrade capability to support PICMG working group ARTM.0 standard (Zone 3 interface)
Compact flash	Supports one compact flash card, 32-GB capacity
Flash updates	Supported from downloaded files
Building compliance	NEBS Level 3 in Oracle’s Sun Netra CT900 server system with maximum component configuration
