1 C H A PT E R Physical and Network Specifications The chapter contains the following sections: ■ ■ 1.1 Section 1.1, “Before Setting Up the Server” on page 1-1 Section 1.2, “Server Specifications” on page 1-3 Before Setting Up the Server Prior to server installation, confirm that the requirements in TABLE 1-1 have been met.
TABLE 1-1 Preinstallation Requirements (Continued) Checklist Facility Power • Have you determined voltage for server equipment rack and peripheral equipment racks? • Have sufficient power receptacles been ordered for each server, monitor, and peripheral? • Are the power receptacles within 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) of the equipment rack? Physical Specifications • Has the server location been established? • Does the equipment floor layout meet the equipment maintenance access requirements (Section 1.2.2.
1.2 Server Specifications This section provides information about the physical characteristics of both midrange servers, including dimensions, space needs, cable sizes, and limitations. 1.2.1 Server Components FIGURE 1-1 illustrates the SPARC Enterprise M4000 server.
FIGURE 1-2 illustrates the SPARC Enterprise M5000 server. Front view Rear view FIGURE 1-2 SPARC Enterprise M5000 Server (Front and Rear Views) TABLE 1-2 lists the maximum configurations for midrange servers.
TABLE 1-2 Components for Midrange Servers (Continued) Component 1.2.1.1 SPARC Enterprise M4000 Server SPARC Enterprise M5000 Server CPU Modules 2 4 • CPU chips (SPARC64 VI) 4 8 Memory boards 4 8 • Memory module 32 64 I/O unit 1 2 • PCI-Express cassettes 4 8 • PCI-X cassette 1 2 DVD 1 1 Hard disk drive 2 4 Tape drive unit (optional) 1 1 Mounting Requirements Both midrange servers are designed to be mounted in qualified equipment racks.
1.2.2.1 Size and Space Specifications For maintenance access, refer to the SPARC Enterprise Equipment Rack Mounting Guide for exact measurements. FIGURE 1-3 shows an example of the maintenance access area for midrange servers in a qualified equipment rack.

1.2.2.2 Space for Thermal Clearance Both midrange servers must maintain the minimum thermal distance between the rear of the server in an equipment rack, and any obstructions or walls. For thermal clearance requirements during operation, refer to the SPARC Enterprise Equipment Rack Mounting Guide. 1.2.3 Access Route If your existing loading dock meets height or ramp requirements for a standard freight carrier truck, you can use a pallet jack to unload the server.
1.2.5 Network Connection This section provides an overview of the midrange servers network setup for server startup and network connections. For more information on network connection, refer to the SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 Servers Installation Guide. 1.2.5.
1.2.5.3 Choosing the System Control Network Configuration In determining the system control network configuration, consider the following: ■ The IP address of each LAN port can be assigned in compliance with the existing environment and modified from the default Class-B private address. ■ Customer may use a dual- or single-power feed option. ■ Customer may segregate the LAN port or network for access by field engineers.
Configuration A (Basic) – Only one of the two LAN ports is used, leaving the serial port and the other LAN port for use as maintenance ports. The same switch is used for system administration and remote services, so switch failure means system control network failure.
Configuration B (Limited Redundancy) – Both LAN ports are used, one for system administration and the second for remote messaging. If one switch goes down, errors can still be reported. The serial port and a port on the remote services switch are available as maintenance ports.
Configuration C (Maximum Redundancy) – Both LAN ports are used and each switch has a maintenance port that is connected to remote services, system administration. A failed switch causes no interruption in the system control network.

C H A PT E R 2 Environmental and Electrical Specifications This chapter contains the environmental and electrical specifications for the midrange servers. ■ ■ ■ ■ 2.1 Section 2.1, Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.
TABLE 2-1 Environmental Ranges Environmental Factor Operating Range Non-Operating Range 60°C* Optimum Ambient temperature* 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F) -20°C to (-4°F to 140°F) 21°C to 23°C (70°F to 74°F) Relative humidity 20% RH to 80% RH, noncondensing up to 93% RH, noncondensing 45% RH to 50% RH, noncondensing Elevation 3000 m (10,000 ft) 12,000 m (40,000 ft) * derated 2°C for every 1 km up to 3 km The operating environmental ranges in TABLE 2-1 reflect server testing.
2.1.2 Ambient Relative Humidity Ambient relative humidity levels between 45 percent and 50 percent are the most suitable for safe data processing operations. Most data processing equipment can operate within a fairly wide environmental range (20 percent to 80 percent), but the optimal goal should be between 45 percent to 50 percent for the following reasons: ■ Optimal range helps protect computer systems from corrosivity problems associated with high humidity levels.
Note – The power numbers in TABLE 2-2 are maximums and are based on fully configured servers. Actual numbers might vary according to your server configuration.
2.3 Airflow and Heat Dissipation The maximum rate of heat release from fully configured midrange servers is listed in TABLE 2-3. TABLE 2-3 Heat Dissipation Server Configuration Heat Dissipation SPARC Enterprise M4000 2 CPU modules, 128 Gbytes memory 8018 Btu/hr (8459 kJ/hr) SPARC Enterprise M5000 4 CPU modules, 256 Gbytes memory 15661 Btu/hr (16523 kJ/hr) Both midrange servers have been designed to function while mounted in a natural convection airflow.
2.4 Facility Power Requirement To prevent catastrophic failures, the design of your power system must ensure that adequate power is provided to your midrange servers. Use dedicated AC breaker panels for all power circuits that supply power to your server. Electrical work and installations must comply with applicable local, state, or national electrical codes. 2.4.
Glossary A Authorized service provider (ASP) An authorized individual who can provide service in the site planning preparations for your servers.

A module containing one or two CPU chips.
domain A set of one or more system boards that acts as a separate system capable of booting the operating system and running an operating system independently of any other domains. Domains that share a system are characteristically independent of each other. Each domain is based on the logical system board that is assigned to it. Further, each domain is electrically isolated into hardware partitions, which ensures that any failure in one domain does not affect the other domains in the server.
