Back Panel Features

This section describes the server back panel features.

The components on the back panel are divided between System A and System B. System A is associated with SMOD0. System B is associated with SMOD1.

  • In single 4-socket systems, System A is active and System B is inactive.

  • In dual 4-socket systems, System A and System B are active and act as independent servers.

  • In single 8-sockets, System A and System B are active and merged into a single server, although some redundant features in SMOD1 are nonfunctional.

The following figure shows the Oracle Server X8-8 back panel and the location of status indicators (LEDs), connectors, and PCIe slots.

For information on how to interpret the status indicators (LEDs), refer to the Troubleshooting and Diagnostics in Oracle Server X8-8 Service Manual.
