System Module (SMOD) Overview
These topics provide information about Oracle Server X7-8 system modules (SMODs) and components.
Two SMODs are installed in the chassis: SMOD0 and SMOD1. SMODs are cold-service components. SMODs are accessible from the back panel.
Each SMOD includes:
-
One Intel Xeon C624 Chipset Platform Controller Hub (PCH).
-
One Internal PCIe slot for RAID storage HBA connectivity to drive bays.
This PCIe slot is populated by one PCIe Gen3 x8 HBA per SMOD (Oracle Storage 12Gb SAS PCIe RAID HBA, Internal 16-Port). Four ports in the card are used for SAS connectivity.
-
One service processor (on SMOD): Emulex Pilot 4 service processor (SP).
SP characteristics:
-
Remote keyboard, video, mouse (RKVM) redirection
-
Full remote management through command-line, IPMI, and browser interfaces
-
Remote media capability (DVD, CD, ISO image)
-
Advanced power management and monitoring
-
Active Directory, LDAP, RADIUS support
-
Oracle ILOM
-
Dual Oracle ILOM image
-
Signed Oracle ILOM image
-
512 MB DDR4 memory
-
128 MB of flash memory
-
1 GB of NAND memory
-
Baseboard management controller (BMC)
-
-
One RJ-45 serial management port (SER MGT).
-
One network management port, 10/100/1000 GbE Network Ethernet port (NET MGT).
-
One USB 3.0 port external on each SMOD.
-
Four 10GBase-T ports per SMOD (NET0-3).
-
Four hot swap capable SAS3 storage drive bays HDD0-3.
-
Four drives in each SMOD. SMOD0 0-3 and SMOD1 0-3. Drives can be a total of eight 2.5-inch, hot-swappable SAS3 hard disk drives (HDDs) or eight 2.5-inch SAS3 solid state drives (SSDs).
Both SMODs are accessible from the back panel of the server. The following illustration shows SMOD0 and SMOD1 removal and installation levers with green lock release tabs.
