1.6 System Components
This section contains the system-level hardware and software components, required
and optional, for the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server.
1.6.1 Required Hardware Components
The Sun Netra CP3250 blade server cannot be used as a stand-alone system. It is
designed to be used in an ATCA chassis for 8U boards. The minimum hardware
requirements needed to use the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server are:
■ ATCA system enclosure for 8U boards (includes shelf, backplane, hub/switch
board, shelf manager and power supply)
■ Console output device or serial terminal
■ Boot device (such as hard drive, network, or Compact Flash card)
■ Peripheral device for network access
■ IPMC (built in)
■ Cables for terminal and network connections
■ Netra CT 900 server fan tray upgrade kit (PN 594-4953-01). If you are installing
the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server in a Netra CT 900 server that has lower-speed
fan trays, you must upgrade the Netra CT 900 server fan trays to support the
additional cooling needs of the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server. For more
information on the Netra CT 900 server fan tray upgrade kit (PN 594-4953-01), see
the Netra CT 900 Server Upgrade Guide (820-3255).
Caution – You can damage the Sun Netra CP3250 blade server components if you
install the blade server in a chassis that does not provide sufficient cooling. For more
information, see Section 2.2.1.1, “Check Power, Thermal, Environmental, and Space
Requirements” on page 2-4.
