Sun Microsystems manual 3Netra CP32x0 ARTM-HD I/O Configurations

Note – When the ARTM-HD is used with a Netra ATCA blade server, shielded cables are required for serial I/O ports. The shields for all shielded cables must be terminated on both ends.

Caution – You must use shielded cables for all ports to satisfy EMI compliance standards.

The customer can order the ARTM-HD, build a custom module that is ACTA or ARTM compatible, or buy a module from an IHV. A minimum set of I/O is required to provide a boot path for the host board and for console I/O to issue commands and read board and system status.

Possible boot and console configurations are described in TABLE 1-3. Sun Microsystems provides the Netra ATCA blade servers and compatible ARTM-HD. This module provides one 10/100/100 MBASE-T Ethernet RJ-45 port and one serial port from the host to the back of the system, and can optionally be used for network booting as a diskless client. The other configurations require IHV hardware.

TABLE 1-3Netra CP32x0 ARTM-HD I/O Configurations

I/O	Hardware Required	Description
Ethernet	Netra CP32x0 SAS Storage	The Management Ethernet port must be enabled as a boot
	Advanced Rear Transition	device in the BIOS before it can be used; the board can run in a
	Module HD (ARTM-HD)	diskless client configuration.
	(supplied as an option for rear
	access)
SAS	Netra CP32x0 SAS Storage	Can be used for local boot; requires the optional ARTM-HD.
	Advanced Rear Transition
	Module HD (ARTM-HD)
Serial data	Netra CP32x0 SAS Storage	The Serial port on the front panel provides the path of the
	Advanced Rear Transition	default console I/O. When the optional ARTM-HD is installed,
	Module HD (ARTM-HD)	the module’s serial port becomes the path of the default console
		I/O (see FIGURE 1-1for location).
