2-2 Sun Netra CP3240 Switch Installation Guide • September 2009
2.1 Features
Part of Sun’s ATCA platform, the Sun Netra CP3240 switch complies with PICMG
3.0 R2.0 ECN002 and PCIMG 3.1 Option 1 and Option 9. The Sun Netra CP3240
switch implements two separate switched networks on a single PCB. By separating
the Base and Fabric networks, the Sun Netra CP3240 switch provides a separate
control plane and data plane. It provides 1Gigabyte Ethernet switching on the 3.0
Base Fabric, and the 3.1 Expansion Fabric provides 1Gigabyte/10Gigabyte Ethernet
switching. Both of these networks are fully managed with the robust FASTPATH
management suite. Both networks support Layer 2 switching as well as Layer 3
routing.
The Sun Netra CP3240 switch can host three AdvancedMC mid-size modules. A
variety of different AMC types can be used, including AMC.1, AMC.2, and AMC.3.
Netra CP3240 switch supports connectivity to three AMCs and to RTMs with
multiple 10Gigabyte-Ethernet links.
The XCP3240H-RTM-CU-Z (copper) and XCP3240H-RTM-OP-Z (fiber optic) are
Sun’s RTMs that are paired with the Sun Netra CP3240 switch.
The following sections briefly outline the features of the Sun Netra CP3240 switch.
2.1.1 General
■ PICMG 3.0 AdvancedTCA form factor
■ PICMG 3.0 R2.0 ECN002 compliant
■ PICMG 3.0 compliant 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet Base Fabric hub board
■ PICMG 3.1 Option 1 (1000Base-BX) and Option 9 (10GBase-BX4) compliant
Ethernet Expansion Fabric hub board
■ Two separate subsystems providing two separate networks on a single PCB

■ Manage both switches with a single serial port and Ethernet management port
■ Low power < 100 watts under heavy load (without AMCs)
■ Operates with or without an RTM
■ Changeable RTM to support different technologies (for example, RJ-45 versus SFP,
XFP versus CX4)
■ AdvancedTCA and AdvancedMC IPMI support with Pigeon Point Systems
BMR-H8S-AMCc Board Manager
■ Dual-image IPMI firmware
