Netra 240 Server Architecture
Sun designed the Netra 240 servers to deliver multiprocessor performance, scalability, and flexibility in conven-
ient 2 RU enclosures. To this end, high-volume components and application specific integrated circuits (ASICs)
have enabled a greatly reduced part count while providing high reliability and low cost without compromising
access to expansion options through high-performance, standardized interfaces.
This chapter describes the Netra 240 server architecture in detail, including the UltraSPARC IIIi processor,
memory subsystem, network and I/O system, system configuration card, and other optional components.
Subsequent chapters will discuss remote management capabilities along with other software and services that
help the Netra 240 server deliver on the promise of high availability.
