This section contains the system-level hardware and software components, required and optional, for the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server.
1.6.1Required Hardware Components
The Sun Netra CP3250 blade server cannot be used as a stand-alone system. It is designed to be used in an ATCA chassis for 8U boards. The minimum hardware requirements needed to use the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server are:
■ATCA system enclosure for 8U boards (includes shelf, backplane, hub/switch board, shelf manager and power supply)
■Console output device or serial terminal
■Boot device (such as hard drive, network, or Compact Flash card)
■Peripheral device for network access
■IPMC (built in)
■Cables for terminal and network connections
■Netra CT 900 server fan tray upgrade kit (PN 594-4953-01). If you are installing the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server in a Netra CT 900 server that has lower-speed fan trays, you must upgrade the Netra CT 900 server fan trays to support the additional cooling needs of the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server. For more information on the Netra CT 900 server fan tray upgrade kit (PN 594-4953-01), see the Netra CT 900 Server Upgrade Guide (820-3255).
Caution – You can damage the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server components if you install the blade server in a chassis that does not provide sufficient cooling. For more information, see Section 2.2.1.1, “Check Power, Thermal, Environmental, and Space Requirements” on page 2-4.
