The Oracle Server X5-2M is a customized modular version of the Oracle Server X5-2. These are the Oracle Server X5-2M differences for the Netra Modular System.
Thumb-pull levers for removing a node from the system replace the green hot-swap levers.
After you push the Power button, the green Power/OK LED begins flashing to indicate hot-swap is initiated. See Oracle Server X5-2M LEDs.
FBA provides plug-and-play capability, eliminating the cabling process. This feature is the most significant physical difference between the servers.
Serial console is not available because the serial port is used by the modular system to detect the node's presence. Access to the SP is through the network (NET_MGT) port through a switch in the FMM. See FMM Serial Port.
The node power supply is not a CRU-serviceable item.
The BIOS is customized.
Some Oracle ILOM functions are either not available or have restrictions.
Up to five SSDs are supported in a single node.
The DVD drive is not available.
A factory configuration containing an Oracle Quad 10Gb Ethernet Adapter is available. See Switch and Node Configurations.
The Oracle ILOM on a node in the modular system supports all the standard Oracle ILOM interfaces that are described in the Oracle ILOM documentation.
