Sun Microsystems CP3240 manual Freescale PowerQUICC II MPC8247 Communications Processor

2.2.4Freescale PowerQUICC II MPC8247 Communications Processor

The Freescale MPC8247 is a microprocessor designed for maximum flexibility. It features a dual core architecture with a PPC G2 LE core and a RISC core controlling the peripherals. Running at 400MHz with only 1 watt of power, the MPC8247 provides high performance with incredibly low power consumption. Paired with the 256MB PC100 SDRAM and 64MB flash, the CPU subsystem of the Sun Netra CP3240 switch is more than enough to handle the switching application and future upgrades.

2.2.5Pigeon Point BMR-H8S-AMCc AdvancedTCA IPMI Subsystem

The Sun Netra CP3240 switch uses the near-industry standard Pigeon Point Systems BMR-H8S-AMCc for dedicated IPMI management. It controls all interaction between the Sun Netra CP3240 switch and the shelf management controller. It fully supports the PICMG 3.0 R2.0 ECN002 and the AMC.0 R2.0 specifications. The BMC-H8S-AMCc provides all required management for the AMC modules, in addition to the voltage monitoring, temperature monitoring, e-Keying, and other services it provides for the Sun Netra CP3240 switch. Pigeon Point Systems is the leading provider of IPMI firmware for AdvancedTCA, and the firmware has been thoroughly tested to be fully compliant with the specification.
