TABLE 1 Feature Specification Table (Continued) Feature Specifications Optical Media Device One slot-loading, slimline DVD drive, supporting CD-R/W, DVDR/W, DVD+R/W Power Supplies Two hot-swappable power supply units providing N+1 redundancy Ethernet Ports Four 1 Gb Ethernet, RJ-45-based, autonegotiating ports. Note - 10-Gb Ethernet ports are available by adding XAUI cards to the I/O expansion slots. For each XAUI card added, one onboard 1 Gb Ethernet port is disabled.
TABLE 1 Feature Specification Table (Continued) Feature Specifications Cryptography Processor integrated cryptographic acceleration that supports industry standard security ciphers Operating System Solaris 10 OS preinstalled on disk 0 Refer to the server product notes for information on the minimum version of supported OS and required patches Other Software Java™ Enterprise System with a 90-day trial licence Logical Domains Manager Sun Studio 12 * PCIe and PCI-X specifications described in this ta
Enhancements The SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers expand the CoolThreads family to include dual socket systems. They deliver extremely high compute density with up to 128 threads in 1 and 2 rack units.
You can use the preinstalled Solaris 10 OS, or reinstall a supported version of the Solaris 10 OS from your network, CD, or downloaded copy. In some cases, if you reinstall the Solaris OS, you must also install patches. Refer to the SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers Product Notes for information on the supported OS releases and mandatory patches for your server.
Each logical domain can interact only with those server resources made available to it. The configuration is controlled using the Logical Domains Manager. For more information on Logical Domains, refer to the Logical Domains (LDoms) Administration Guide. Remote Manageability With ILOM The Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) feature is a system controller, built into the server, that enables you to remotely manage and administer the server.
High Levels of System Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability Reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) are aspects of a system’s design that affect its ability to operate continuously and to minimize the time necessary to service the system. Reliability refers to a system’s ability to operate continuously without failures and to maintain data integrity. System availability refers to the ability of a system to recover to an operational state after a failure, with minimal impact.
Environmental Monitoring The SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers feature an environmental monitoring subsystem that protects the server and its components against: ■ Extreme temperatures ■ Lack of adequate airflow through the system ■ Power supply failures ■ Hardware faults Temperature sensors are located throughout the system to monitor the ambient temperature of the system and internal components.
Error Correction and Parity Checking The UltraSPARC T2 Plus multicore, multithreaded, processor provides parity protection on its internal cache memories, including tag parity and data parity on the D-cache and I-cache. The internal L2 cache has parity protection on the tags, and ECC protection on the data. Advanced ECC corrects up to 4 bits in error on nibble boundaries, as long as they are all in the same DRAM. If a DRAM fails, the DIMM continues to function.
