CHAPTER 1 Product Outline
A SCF (System Control Facility), which has an integrated service processor, monitors the
operation of SPARC64 GP processors, and reports erroneous events such as environmental
monitoring explained below. With a GUI-based intelligent monitoring and reporting tool,
which is provided in "Basic Software Extension" or "Enhanced Support Facility",
administration and management of GP7000F is easy and less time consuming.
The SCF monitors environmental temperature, powering and cooling conditions. This function
prevents the system from environmental condition that can cause error or damages to the
system.
Monitoring Environmental Temperature ; The guaranteed operating temperature of the
system ranges from 5 to 35 degrees Celsius (41 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit). A warning
message is displayed at about 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit). If the
temperature reaches about 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), the system is shut
down automatically.
Monitoring Powers ; The power supplies are always monitored, and a message is displayed
on the LCD panel, if power supply failure is detected. When the system doesn’t have a
redundant power supply, the system will be powered off immediately. Besides it, the
integrated service processor monitors and controls DC-DC converter which provides
power to the processor modules.
Monitoring Fans ; Several fans are installed inside the GP7000F main cabinet. If one of the
fans breaks down, a warning message which indicates the defective fan is displayed on the
LCD panel. And, if the fans cannot provide enough cooling, the system is shut down
automatically.
RCI (Remote Cabinet Interface) makes power cycle control of expansion I/O unit, such as
Expansion Disk Unit and Expansion File Unit, which has the RCI interface.
Status of LEDs and messages on LCD panel of GP7000F main cabinet as well as console
messages make trouble shooting easy and less time consuming.
All internal disk drives are hot-swappable, and these drives can be mirrored for higher data
availability. In addition, redundant power supplies and fans are supported for higher availability.
The front cover/panel has a lock key to prevent unauthorized access to the internal I/O devices
as well as front panel switches.
