Server Supported Components

This section describes the components that are supported in the Sun Server X4-4.

Component
Sun Server X4-4
Processor (CPU)
Intel Xeon® E7-8895 v2 15-core 2.8 GHz processor.
Supported configurations:
  • Two processors installed in sockets 0 and 1.

  • Four processors installed in sockets 0 through 3.

Memory
Up to eight memory riser cards are supported (two risers per CPU) in the server chassis. Each memory riser supports up to twelve DDR3-1600 ECC low-voltage registered or load-reduced DIMMs, allowing up to twenty-four DIMMs per processor. Installed DIMMs must be the same type and size.
  • In a two CPU system, you can install up to a maximum of 1.5 TB of system memory.

  • In a four CPU system, you can install up to a maximum of 3 TB of system memory.

Refer to the Service Manual for DIMM population rules and supported configurations.
Storage devices
For internal storage, the server chassis provides:
  • Six 2.5-inch drive bays, accessible through the front panel. All bays can be populated with SAS-2 HDDs or SATA-3 SSDs.

  • An optional DVD+/-RW drive on the front of the server, below the drive bays. This SATA DVD drive connects to a USB-SATA bridge, so that the drive appears to the system as a USB storage device.

  • SAS-2 HBA PCIe card options:

    • Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe HBA. Supports RAID levels : 0, 1, 10.

    • Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe RAID HBA. Supports RAID levels : 0, 1, 1E, 10, 5, 5EE, 6 with Battery Backed Write Cache (BBWC).

USB 2.0 ports
  • Two ports on the front of the system and two on the back.

  • Two internal ports on the motherboard. One port holds the optional factory-installed Oracle System Assistant (OSA) stick–a bootable device used to configure the server. A second port can hold a USB flash device for system booting.

VGA ports
Two high-density DB-15 video ports are available. One on the front of the system and one on the back. The server includes an embedded VGA 2D graphics controller with 8 MB, which supports resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 x 16bits @ 60 Hz (1024 x 768 when viewed remotely using Oracle ILOM Remote Console Plus RKVMS).

Note -  The VGA port available on the back panel supports VESA Device Data Channel for monitor identification.

PCI Express 3.0 I/O slots
Eleven PCI Express 3.0 slots that accommodate low-profile PCIe cards. In configurations that include a SAS HBA card, the HBA card is installed in slot 2. All slots support x8 PCIe connections. Two slots are also capable of supporting x16 PCIe cards.
  • Slots 1 through 7, 9, and 10: x8 connector

  • Slots 8 and 11: x8 or x16 connector

Note -  PCIe slots 7 through 11 are only functional in four CPU systems.

PCI Express I/O cards
For a list of supported I/O cards for your system, refer to the Sun Server X4-4 Product Notes.
Ethernet ports
Four 10 GbE RJ-45 Ethernet ports on back panel.
Service processor
Emulex Pilot 3 baseboard management controller (BMC) mounted on a daughterboard.
Supports industry-standard IPMI feature set.
Supports remote KVMS, USB, DVD, CD, floppy, and ISO image over IP.
Includes a serial port.
Supports Ethernet access to SP through a dedicated RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) management port and optionally through one of the host 10 GbE ports (sideband management).
Power supplies
Two 1030/2060 Watt AC input auto-ranging hot-swappable power supplies.

Note -  A two-CPU system can operate with low-line 100 - 127 VAC or high-line 200 - 240 VAC sources. A four-CPU system can only operate with high-line 200 - 240 VAC sources.

Cooling fans
Six hot-swappable, redundant fans at chassis front (top-loading); redundant fans in each power supply.
Management software
The following options are available:
  • Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) on the service processor.

  • Oracle System Assistant (OSA) on an optional internal USB flash drive.

  • Oracle Hardware Management Pack on the optional OSA internal USB flash drive.

  • Oracle Enterprise Management Ops Center, downloadable from the Oracle site.
