Server Components

Table 1 Oracle ZFS Storage ZS3-ES Components 

Feature
Description
Memory
Sixteen 16 GB DDR3 DIMMs occupying all DIMM slots. There are no empty DIMM slots and, therefore, no fillers.

Note - All DIMMs must be identical within each server and for both clustered servers.


Storage
Eight 2.5-inch SAS-2 hard disk drive (HDD)/solid state disk (SSD) slots, which are occupied as follows:

Two system disks in slots 0 and 1

Two SAS-2 Readzilla devices in slots 2 and 3

Four HDD/SSD fillers in slots 4 through 7

PCI Express (PCIe) I/O external slots
Three PCIe Gen3 external slots occupied by:
  • InfiniBand card for connectivity to client servers

  • Clustron V2 card for connecting the Oracle ZFS Storage ZS3-ES servers together

  • SAS-2 HBA for disk shelf connectivity

Internal HBA
One dedicated PCIe Gen3 slot for use with an internal-only HBA card. This internal HBA is used to control and manage the storage drives.
Ethernet ports
Four 10GBASE-T RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports on the rear panel.
USB 2.0 ports
Two front, two rear, and one internal.
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) version 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.

Power supplies
Two hot-swappable and highly redundant 600W power supplies.
Cooling fans
Four 40-mm, hot-swappable fan modules for chassis cooling. Each fan module contains two counter-rotating fan pairs (four rotors total).

Each power supply has its own cooling fans.
