1-2 Sun Netra CP3250 Blade Server User’s Guide • April 2009
1.1 Overview
The Sun Netra CP3250 blade server is a dual-socket quad-core Intel-based ATCA
blade for high performance ATCAx86 applications in wireless infrastructure and
central office consolidation.
This blade server complies with the AdvancedTCA specification and is a new
addition to SUN's ATCAproduct family.
The ATCAstandard comprises the PICMG 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 versions of the
standard. The Sun Netra CP3250 blade server complies with the following
specifications:
■PICMG 3.0, the base specificationthat defines the mechanical, power distribution,
system management, data transport, and regulatory guidelines.
■PICMG 3.1, which builds on the PICMG 3.0 base specification and on IEEE
802.3-2003.
1.2 Features
The blade server’s primary features are as follows:
■ATCAcard 322.25 mm x280 mm, 1.2 inch slot height
