Key Features

P4 Introduction

Sun Microsystems, Inc.

The Netra 240 server includes integrated high-bandwidth networking, supported by the Solaris Operating System. A wide range of middleware applications is also available to reduce implementation and deployment time. Standard advanced manageability features allow for efficient, remote system administration, and high reliability to enable ease of integration with centralized management services.

The Netra 240 server also includes features for maximized uptime as well as high performance due to its large memory capacity and excellent expandability. All of these features are delivered in a high-performance, multi- processor server at a competitive price.

The Netra 240 server provides additional features that improve serviceability and ultimately availability for deliv- ering applications and services:

•Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM): A standard on-board System Management Controller module pro- vides remote monitoring and management. System alarms, including Critical, Major, Minor, and User indica- tors and dry contacts, contribute to centralized system state monitoring through standard central office management systems.

•Automatic server restart: Netra 240 servers can be configured to automatically reboot in the event that the operating system becomes unresponsive—simplifying serviceability and reducing downtime.

•System Configuration Card: A removable system configuration card contains system-specific information— accelerating system upgrades or replacement.

•Accelerated encryption: An optional Sun™ Crypto Accelerator 500 daughter card that frees PCI slots and works with popular Web server software to provide hardware and software acceleration for authentication and encryption of secure Web transactions.

•Front-accessible, hot-pluggable UltraSCSI disks: Front-accessible disk drives provide convenient access for service via a bezel—easing maintenance and reducing downtime.

•Dual-redundant power supplies: Two hot-swappable power supplies on the Netra 240 server enhance availability and reliability.

•Rack-centric design: Compact (2U) packaging and front-to-back cooling allow very dense configurations with environmental characteristics that are certified to central office standards.

Expandability and Management Interfaces

The Netra 240 server also allows a wide range of peripheral expansion. Standard expansion ports include:

•Gigabit Ethernet: Four auto-negotiating 10/100/1000BaseT (Gigabit Ethernet) ports provide high-speed, high- bandwidth networking and enhanced availability.

•Ethernet Management: A separate 10BaseT Ethernet port provides a network interface for out-of-band management.

•Serial: A DB9 serial port allows connection to terminal servers or other devices.
