Enabling Technology Next-Generation AMD Opteron Processor Basics The Next-Generation AMD Opteron processor leverages the same proven Direct Connect Architecture and CMP (Chip-level Multi-Processing) design features of the Single- and Dual-Core AMD Opteron (formerly known as Rev E) processors, including: • 64-bit operating systems to provide full, transparent, and simultaneous 32-bit and 64-bit platform application multitasking • Direct Connect Architecture • Addresses and helps reduce the real challenges an
HyperTransportTM Technology The Next-Generation AMD Opteron processor continues to use HyperTransport Technology links to provide a scalable bandwidth interconnect among processors, I/O subsystems, and other chip sets. HyperTransport Technology: • Helps increase overall system performance by removing I/O bottlenecks typically found in Front Side Bus (FSB) architectures and efficiently integrating with legacy buses, increasing bandwidth and speed, and reducing latency of processors.
Figure 3: Sample HyperTransport Technology Interconnect Block New Next-Generation AMD Opteron Processor Enhancements The Next-Generation AMD Opteron Processor Design for Socket F (1207) (formerly known as “Rev F”) is a redesign of the original Dual-Core AMD Opteron (formerly known as “Rev E”) design and offer the following enhancements: • New socket design, all native dual core processors • Consistent processor power requirements • Supports lower power DDR2 memory technology • Consistent socket design and
For AMD PowerNow technology to work, both the operating system and server BIOS must be qualified to run AMD's PowerNow. Please see below for specific product support. Solaris Support for PowerNow! Solaris Engineering is currently aggressively working to add PowerNow support. Solaris is targeting a patch to add support at the end of this calendar year. PowerNow support is targeted for the Solaris 10 Update 4 release, planned to be released in Jan/Feb 2007.
System Architecture Overview Figure 4.
Overview The Netra X4200 M2 server features two CPU sockets that support Next-Generation AMD Opteron, model 2214 HE (L1 socket) embedded class processors. The server is supported with one or two processors and each processor controls 2 pairs of DIMM slots, for a total of eight DIMM in a two CPU system. There is a 6.4 GB/sec. access between processor and memory and one 1GHz 16x16 HyperTransport link between the two processors (8 GB/sec. Bandwidth).
Internal Hard Disk I/O Subsystem The Netra X4200 M2 server supports up to four hard disk drives, controlled by an LSI SAS1064 controller providing four ports of SAS connectivity to disk drives at bandwidths of 3Gb/sec. full duplex for each disk. Disks are NEBS Certified 146-GB, 10000-rpm SAS disks, 2.5-inch small form factor server grade, and are certified for 24x7 operation. Due to the small physical size of these drives and the high spindle speeds, access times to disk are extremely good.

Netra X4200 server rear panel features Connectivity Networking The Netra X4200 M2 server includes four on-board auto-negotiating Gigabit Ethernet ports. These ports are all capable of providing simultaneous full bandwidth operation, with no shared bandwidth limitations.
USB Ports The Netra X4200 M2 server comes with two USB 2.0 ports. The two ports are located on the right side of the rear of the panel. Telco Alarm Port A DB15 connector is provide Telco alarm access to the system. The telco alarm function and connector pinouts are same as Netra 210/ Netra 240/ Netra 440/ Netra T2000 systems.
Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) 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.
Operating Systems Netra X4200 M2 Server Operating Systems A world-class performance platform, the 64-bit Netra X4200 M2 server allow customers to run the operating system that best fits their needs. With a multitude of operating systems fully supported and/or certified, the Netra X4200 M2 server provides customers with more choices, within the same hardware architecture, than competing servers in its class.
Solaris 10 OS – The most advanced operating system on the planet Key Messaging In a class by itself, the Solaris Operating System is a significant leap forward form the Solaris 9 OS, establishing it in a class by itself when compared to competing operating systems. It offers many innovative technologies that fundamentally change the equation for organizations needing to reduce costs, reduce complexity, and minimize risk.
• Solaris Fault Manager proactively handles system problems by removing components before failure. CPU, memory and I/O problems are diagnosed and corrected – before they can cause downtime. • Solaris Service Manager manages application software running on the system, monitoring applications and restarting entire application trees if necessary. Compatibility • Same OS—Low-End to High-End Systems.
Sun brings a complete systems approach to Linux: a value-added web services stack for the entire system, hardware, OS, tools, and applications backed by Sun's global support infrastructure. • • Delivering Linux--from leading vendors (Red Hat and SUSE Linux)--with front-line support and training worldwide from Sun on x64 (Xeon and Opteron processors) hardware platforms from Sun and third parties.
System Management Sun Integrated Lights-Out-Manager (ILOM) Sun Integrated Lights-out Manager is driven by an integrated system service processor that follows x86 standards and is different from SPARC(R) technology-based system remote management solutions. It provides for full remote KVMS (Keyboard, Video, Mouse, Storage) support together with remote media functionality.
ILOM Watchdog Timer ILOM features a watchdog mechanism to detect and respond to system hang, should one ever occur. The ILOM watchdog is a timer that is continually reset by a user application as long as the operating system and user application are running. In the event of a system hang, the user application is no longer able to reset the timer. The timer will then expire and will perform an action set by the user, eliminating the need for operator intervention.

Upgrades Upgrade Paths NetraTM X4200 M2 servers are eligible for the SunTM Upgrade Advantage Program (UAP). Through this program customers can trade-up their current Sun or non-Sun severs for a new Netra X4200 M2 server and receive a trade-in allowance that is applied as a percentage off of the list price on the new Netra X4200 M2 server. Customers can trade-in their old systems in on a 1 for 1 server basis or consolidate many servers.
How to Determine the Right Allowance Code Scenario: My customer has a Netra 1120 server and would like to upgrade to a Netra X4200 M2 server. What allowance part number should I select? 1. From left hand column select the platform the customer has. 2. The correct allowance part number appears in the right column. The correct number for the Sun Fire 280R server is ALW-10-S-L-N87. This part number is applied to the list price of the standard marketing part number.
