Server Overview

Language:

The Sun Server X4-4 is a 3RU tall rack-mount server system that features two or four Intel Xeon E4890 Series 15-core 2.8 GHz CPUs. The system memory is contained on memory riser (MR) cards, each with the capacity for up to 12 low-voltage DDR3 DIMMs. The server can support up to eight MR cards (four-CPU system). The server has two hot-plug redundant power supplies and slot capability for up to 11 PCI-Express Gen 3 low-profile (LP) cards. An internal HBA card provides connectivity to the six SAS2 disks slots accessible from front of the chassis. The following table lists the server-supported components, refer to.

Supported Components

Component	Description
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. For information on supported DIMM configurations, see Supported DIMMs and DIMM Population Rules.
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 slot-loading or tray-load DVD+/-RW drive on the front of the server, below the drive bays. 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	Four external high-speed USB ports: two in front and two in back. Two internal high-speed USB ports on the motherboard. One internal port holds the optional factory-installed Oracle System Assistant (OSA) flash drive. A second internal port can hold a USB flash drive for system booting.
VGA ports	One front and one back high-density DB-15 video port is available. The server includes an embedded VGA 2D graphics controller with 8 MB which support resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 x 16bits @ 60 Hz (1024 x 768 when viewed remotely via Oracle ILOM RKVMS). Note - The back VGA port supports VESA Device Data Channel for monitor identification.
PCIe 3.0 I/O slots	Eleven PCIe 3.0 slots that accommodate low-profile PCIe cards. All slots support x8 PCIe connections 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, refer to the Product Notes.
Ethernet ports	Four 10 GbE RJ-45 Ethernet ports (back panel)
Service processor	Emulex Pilot 3 base management controller (BMC): Supports the industry-standard IPMI feature set Supports remote KVMS, DVD, and floppy over IP, and ISO image over IP Includes serial port Supports Ethernet access to SP through a dedicated 10/100/1000 RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) management port and optionally through one of the host GbE ports (sideband management)
Power supplies	Two hot-swappable power supplies, each with 1030/2060 watts (low line/high line) capacity, auto-ranging, light load efficiency mode and redundant over-subscription
Cooling fans	Six hot-swappable, redundant fans at chassis front (top-loading) Two redundant fans, one 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. Oracle Enterprise Management Ops Center, which can be downloaded from the Oracle site.
