Processor
Processor Combine up to twelve 1.95 GHz UltraSPARC IV+ processors and/or 1.8 GHz UltraSPARC IV+ and/or 1.5 GHz UltraSPARC IV+ processors and/or 1.35 GHz UltraSPARC IV processors

Architecture Superscalar SPARC V9, ECC protected

Cache per UltraSPARC IV+ processor
  • Level 1: 64 KB data and 64 KB instruction per pipeline
  • Level 2: 2 MB on-chip
  • Level 3: 32 MB external
System
Processor/memory boards Up to three CPU/memory boards*, with four processors each, and up to 64 GB per board; maximum 12 processors per server

*The Sun Fire E2900 server CPU/memory board is common, and therefore interchangeable, with the Sun Fire V1280 server. However, these boards are not identical to and thus not inter-changeable with the Sun Fire E4900–E25K server Uniboard technology.

  • One integrated Ultra-320 SCSI (one internal and one external port)
  • Two Gigabit Ethernet ports with another two on a separate grid

System interconnect 9.6-GB/sec. Sun Fireplane interconnect. System bus with redundant data, address and response crossbar interconnect

System bandwidth 9.6-GB/sec. sustained bandwidth, 31.2-GB/sec. aggregate bandwidth
Storage
Internal
  • Two 146-GB 15K rpm Ultra3-SCSI internal disks
  • DVD-ROM internal drive
  • Tape drive (optional)

External compatibility Direct attach to Sun StorageTek tape libraries and disk arrays, including: Sun StorageTek 3000, 6000, and 9000 families, providing excellent linear scalability x
Resource Management
Standard Solaris Resource Manager, Solaris Bandwidth Manager
Software
Operating System (minimum version)
