5-12 Netra CP3260 Blade Server User’s Guide • April 2009
Note – A serial port is also provided on the Netra CP32x0 ARTM. You can use
either the serial port on the front panel or the serial port on Netra CP32x0 ARTM,
but only one of the ports should be used at one time.
5.2.5.3 Dual USB Ports
Dual USB ports are 2.0 compliant and routed from the USB hub to the front panel.
5.2.6 Compact Flash Socket
The Netra CP3260 blade server provides a Type I/II compact flash socket for
removal media. The Compact Flash socket interface is derived from the USB-to-IDE
controller.
5.2.7 Service Processor MPC885
The Netra CP3260 blade server includes a MPC885 service processor subsystem used
for Logical Domains (LDoms) configuration and Hypervisor interaction, host system
reset, and boot support. The Netra CP3260 blade server uses the MPC885 to run the
vBSC firmware (on VxWorks).
The following I/O interfaces provided by MPC885 are used by the Netra CP3260
blade server:
■ 100BASE-T – Connects to the Base interface switch
■ I
2
C – Provides interface to I
2
C devices required by vBSC (DIMM SPDs, TOD,
NVRAM)
■ UART1 – Provides serial interface to IPMC Payload
■ UART2 – Provides console interface
5.2.7.1 Field-Programmable Gate Array
The Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) serves as a gateway between the
UltraSPARC T2 and the MPC subsystem, and provides support for the IPMC. The
FPGA provides the following functionality:
■ 32-Kbyte SRAM integrated – used as Mailbox, Data Channel, and scratch pad for
POST. The SRAM is accessible both from the UltraSPARC T2 processor through
the SSI interface and from H8 through the H8 bus.
