Compute Server Cabled Components

Use this illustration and table to identify the factory-cabled compute server components.

The illustration shows network components for a compute server that is fully populated with CMIOUs and PCIe cards. Other configurations have fewer components. For information on all the types of configurations, refer to Oracle SuperCluster M8 and SuperCluster M7 Overview Guide.

This figure shows the component locations for SuperCluster M7. SuperCluster M8 is similar with the differences are listed in the table.

No.
Network Component or Port (Default)
Chassis Location
Connector and Cable Type
Links
1
6 power inlets per compute server
U8 and optionally U27
Power cords. Receptacle varies based on locale.
2
2 SPs per compute server, each providing:
  • 1 10/100/10000BASE-T port (NET MGT)

  • 1 serial port (SER MGT)

U17 and optionally U36
NET MGT – RJ-45, use Cat.5 or better cables.
SER MGT – RJ-45, use serial cables.
3
2, 4, or 8 IB HCA PCIe cards per compute server, 2 ports per card
Installed in the PCIe 3 carrier on each CMIOU
Standard IB connectors supporting cables with QSFP+ connectors.
4
SuperCluster M7:
1 10GbE dual-port PCIe card for each CMIOU
SuperCluster M8:
1 10GbE quad-port PCIe card for each CMIOU
Installed in the PCIe 2 carrier on each CMIOU
SuperCluster M7:
SFP+ optical splitter cable (10m, MPO to 4 LC)
SuperCluster M8:
QFSP+ optical Splitter Cable (10m, MPO/MTP to 2 LC)
5
1 or 2 Sun Quad-Port GbE PCIe cards
Installed in CMIOU 0, PCIe 1 carrier, and optionally in CMIOU 5, PCIe 1 carrier.
RJ-45, use Cat.5 or better cables.
