5.1 Hardware Architecture
The Netra CP3260 blade server is an ATCA node board based on the UltraSPARC T2
processor. It is hot-swappable to an ATCA midplane and supports dual
10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet interfaces as Base interface, and 10-Gb XAUI or 1-Gb
SERDES Ethernet interfaces as Fabric interfaces to support a redundant Dual Star
topology.
FIGURE 5-1 is a block diagram of the Netra CP3260 blade server. The blade server
functions can be broken down into subsystems consisting of:
■ CPU and memory subsystem
■ Service processor subsystem
■ I/O subsystem
■ IPMI subsystem
■ Power subsystem
