Up to 8 DIMMs per processor for a maximum of 16 DDR3 DIMMs and a maximum of 512 GB of memory are supported in dual-processor systems. RDIMMs (8 GB and 16 GB) and LRDIMMs (32 GB) are supported.

Note - A maximum of 8 DDR3 DIMMs and a maximum of 256 GB of memory are supported in single-processor systems.

Storage (Front)

Storage drive configurations can comprise both hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid state disk drives (SSDs). Configurations include:

Up to twelve 3.5-inch hot-pluggable SAS HDDs
Up to twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-pluggable SAS HDDs/SATA SSDs
Up to eight 2.5-inch hot-pluggable SAS HDDs/SATA SSDs with DVD

Note - The internal SAS expander is required for storage drive configurations that contain twelve 3.5-inch storage drives and twenty-four 2.5-inch storage drives.

Storage (Rear)

Up to two 2.5-inch SAS/SATA storage drives. These storage drives are supported only in the twelve 3.5-inch storage drive and twenty-four 2.5-inch storage drive configurations.

Note - The internal SAS expander is required for the rear-mounted 2.5-inch SAS/SATA storage drives.

Caution - In Oracle Engineered Systems, rear storage drive 1 might be populated with a remote battery module for the host bus adapter (HBA) card. The battery module is not a customer-replaceable unit and should not be removed or replaced by customers. For more information, refer to the Service, Battery Module.

PCI Express (PCIe) I/O slots

Six PCIe Gen3 slots that accommodate low-profile PCIe cards:

Slot 1: x16 electrical interface
Slots 2 through 6: x8 electrical interface

Note - PCIe slots 1, 2, and 3 are nonfunctional in single-processor systems.

Internal HBA

One internal host bus adapter (HBA) card is supported for controlling and managing the storage drives.

Note - PCIe slot 6 is the primary HBA card slot.

Ethernet ports

Four 10GBASE-T RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports on the rear panel.

Note - Ethernet ports NET2 and NET3 are nonfunctional in single-processor systems.

USB 2.0 ports

Two front, two rear, and two internal.

Note - One of the internal USB ports might be preinstalled with a USB drive containing Oracle System Assistant. For more information, refer to Setting Up Software and Firmware Using Oracle System Assistant.

Video (VGA) ports

One rear high-density DB-15 video port.

Service processor (SP)

The server includes an AST2300 service processor (SP). The SP provides IPMI 2.0-compliant remote management capabilities. The SP features:

Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.1
Local Oracle ILOM command-line access using a serial connection
Support for Ethernet access to SP through a dedicated, 10/100BASE-T management port (NET MGT) and optionally through one of the host Ethernet ports (sideband management)
Support for remote KVMS (keyboard, video, mouse, and storage) over IP

Management Software

Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.1
Oracle System Assistant
Oracle Hardware Management Pack

Power supplies

Two hot-swappable and redundant 1000W power supplies.

Cooling Fans

Four 80-mm, hot-swappable fan modules. Each fan module contains two counter-rotating fan pairs. Each power supply has its own cooling fans.
