Note – When a Netra CP32x0 ARTM is used with the Netra CP3260 blade server, shielded cables are required for serial I/O ports. Unshielded cables can be used on Ethernet ports to satisfy EMI compliance standards. The shields for all shielded cables must be terminated on both ends.
The customer can order a Netra CP32x0 ARTM, build a custom card, or buy from an independent hardware vendor (IHV). A minimal set of I/O must provide a boot path for the host blade server and a path for console I/O to deliver commands and to read blade server and system status.
Possible boot and console configurations are described in TABLE
