Sun Microsystems CP3250 manual 1I/O Configurations, Sas

You can order a Netra CP32x0 ARTM, build a custom module, or buy one from an IHV. You must set up a minimal set of I/O for a boot path for the host blade server and for a path for console I/O to deliver commands and read blade server and system status.

Possible boot and console configurations are described in TABLE 1-1. Sun Microsystems provides the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server and, optionally, a compatible Netra CP32x0 ARTM. The ARTM provides one 10/100/1000BASE-T per second Ethernet RJ-45 port from the host to the rear of the system. This port can be used to accomplish, optionally, a network boot as a diskless client. The other configurations require IHV hardware.
