1-10 Sun Netra CP3250 Blade Server User’s Guide • April 2009
You can order a Netra CP32x0 ARTM, build a custom module, or buy one from an
IHV. You must set up a minimal set of I/O for a boot path for the host blade server
and for a path for console I/O to deliver commands and read blade server and
system status.
Possible boot and console configurations are described in
TABLE 1-1. Sun
Microsystems provides the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server and, optionally, a
compatible Netra CP32x0 ARTM. The ARTM provides one 10/100/1000BASE-T per
second Ethernet RJ-45 port from the host to the rear of the system. This port can be
used to accomplish, optionally, a network boot as a diskless client. The other
configurations require IHV hardware.
