The Sun Blade 6048 modular system gives you up to 48 hot-pluggable server modules in a specially designed unibody chassis/rack. Each rack contains four shelves, each of which can hold up to twelve server modules, plus modular I/O, networking, system management, power supply and fan modules. It weighs less and saves space, and it's an incredible advancement in scalability, flexibility, compute and I/O density.
Key Specifications
Up to 48 Sun Blade 6000 family server modules: AMD Opteron, Intel® Xeon®, and Sun UltraSPARC
Passive midplane for ultra high-speed interconnects such as Quad Data Rate InfiniBand
Eight 5600 - 8400W power supply modules
96 PCIe (1.1 and 2.0) ExpressModule (EM) slots and 32 redundant rear fan modules
Eight Network Express Module (NEM) slots and Four Chassis Monitoring Modules (CMM)
Each installed server module has a direct connection to two PCIe ExpressModules for discrete I/O connectivity, and up to two NEMs for aggregate I/O connectivity
I/O Modules
ExpressModules
Up to 24 ExpressModules per shelf, 96 per chassis:
One per shelf, four per Sun Blade 6048 modular system:
Facilitates remote connection to the service processor on each server module
Consolidates cabling by providing a single management connection per shelf
Helps ensure complete remote lights-out manageability of the whole chassis
Provides an optional aggregate point for monitoring of chassis fans and power supplies with the CMM's own ILOM module
