  • Intel 6140 processor, 18-core, 2.3-GHz, 150W (4-socket servers)

  • Intel 6128 processor, 6-core, 3.4-GHz, 125W (4-socket servers)

8-socket configurations support up to 24-core (shelf 4) processors for total of 192 cores.
4-socket configurations support up to 24-core (shelf 4) processors for total of 96 cores.
Six memory controllers are integrated per processor.
Memory DDR4-2666 DIMMs
Up to 96 (8-socket) or 48 (4-socket) DDR4 DIMM slots.

System Modules (SMODs)
Two SMODs (SMOD0, SMOD1) installed in chassis:
  • Includes one internal PCIe Gen3 slot for RAID storage host bus adapter (HBA) per SMOD. Four ports in the HBA are used for SAS connectivity.

  • One external USB 3.0 port per SMOD

  • Four 10BASE-T ports (NET0-3) per SMOD

  • Two I/O ports per SMOD: one serial management port (SER MGT), one network management port (NET MGT)

Storage Drives (SAS3 HDD/SSD)
Up to eight 2.5-inch hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid state drives (SSDs).
  • Four hot-pluggable SAS3 storage drives per SMOD:

  • SMOD0: bays 0-3; SMOD1: bays 0-3.

PCIe Slots
Sixteen PCIe 3.0 slots (eight x8 slots, eight x16 slots):
  • Each SMOD controls eight PCIe slots.

  • In single 4-socket mode, SMOD0 System A has four x8 and four x16 PCIe slots.

  • In dual 4-socket mode, each side (SMOD0 System A and SMOD1 System B) has four x8 and four x16 PCIe slots.

  • In 8-socket mode, SMOD0 System A has eight x8 and eight x16 PCIe slots.

  • Support for eight dual PCIe card carriers (DPCCs), each with two PCIe card slots.

I/O Ports
  • One external RJ-45 serial management (SER MGT) port per SMOD.

  • One external network management (NET MGT) port per SMOD.

  • Four 10GBASE-T ports (NET0-3) per SMOD.

Power Supplies (PS)
Four 3060W power supplies (PSU0-3)
Two PSUs (PSU2 and 3) power SMOD0, CMOD0-3, DPCC0-3, and FM0-3. The other two PSUs (PSU0 and 1) power SMOD1, CMOD4-7, DPCC4-7, and FM4-7.
Fan Modules (FM)
Eight fan modules (FM0-7)
Service Processor (SP)
Two integrated Emulex Pilot 4 SPs, one per SMOD, with:
  • IPMI 2.0 compliant remote management capabilities.

  • Oracle Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM) 4.0 with command-line access using a serial connection (SER MGT port)

  • Support for Ethernet access to the SP through a dedicated management port (NET MGT port) and optionally though one of the host Ethernet ports (sideband management).

Management Software
Operating Systems and Virtualization Software
  • Oracle Solaris 11.3 SRU 23

  • Oracle Linux 7.3 and 6.9

  • Oracle VM 3.4.4
