Sun Microsystems CP3260 manual Compact Flash Socket, Service Processor MPC885, Dual USB Ports

Note – A serial port is also provided on the Netra CP32x0 ARTM. You can use either the serial port on the front panel or the serial port on Netra CP32x0 ARTM, but only one of the ports should be used at one time.

5.2.5.3Dual USB Ports

Dual USB ports are 2.0 compliant and routed from the USB hub to the front panel.

5.2.6Compact Flash Socket

The Netra CP3260 blade server provides a Type I/II compact flash socket for removal media. The Compact Flash socket interface is derived from the USB-to-IDE controller.

5.2.7Service Processor MPC885

The Netra CP3260 blade server includes a MPC885 service processor subsystem used for Logical Domains (LDoms) configuration and Hypervisor interaction, host system reset, and boot support. The Netra CP3260 blade server uses the MPC885 to run the vBSC firmware (on VxWorks).

The following I/O interfaces provided by MPC885 are used by the Netra CP3260 blade server:

■100BASE-T – Connects to the Base interface switch

■I2C – Provides interface to I2C devices required by vBSC (DIMM SPDs, TOD,

NVRAM)

■UART1 – Provides serial interface to IPMC Payload

■UART2 – Provides console interface

5.2.7.1Field-Programmable Gate Array

The Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) serves as a gateway between the UltraSPARC T2 and the MPC subsystem, and provides support for the IPMC. The FPGA provides the following functionality:

■32-Kbyte SRAM integrated – used as Mailbox, Data Channel, and scratch pad for POST. The SRAM is accessible both from the UltraSPARC T2 processor through the SSI interface and from H8 through the H8 bus.
