Server Components
Feature Description
A maximum of 12 DDR4 DIMMs and a maximum of 384-GB of memory are
supported in single-processor systems.
RDIMMs (8 GB and 16 GB) and LRDIMMs (32 GB) are supported.
Storage devices The storage drive configuration can comprise both hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid
state drives (SSDs). The configuration includes:
■ Up to eight 2.5-inch hot-pluggable SAS HDDs or SSDs with an optional SATA
DVD
Note - NVM-Express SSDs are only supported on servers running Oracle Linux or
Oracle Solaris operating systems.
Note - The NVM-Express PCIe switch card is required for storage drive configurations
that contain NVM-Express SSDs.
PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 I/
O slots
Three PCIe Gen3 slots that accommodate low-profile PCIe cards.
■ Slots 1 and 2: x16 electrical interface
■ Slot 3: x8 electrical interface
Note - PCIe slot 1 is nonfunctional in single-processor systems.
Internal HBA One dedicated PCIe Gen3 slot for use with an optional internal-only host bus adapter
(HBA) card. This internal HBA is used to control and manage the storage drives.
Ethernet ports Up to four 10GBASE-T RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports on the rear panel.
Note - Ethernet ports NET 2 and NET 3 are nonfunctional in single-processor systems.
USB 2.0 ports Two front, two rear, and two internal.
Note - One of the internal USB ports might be preinstalled with a USB drive
containing the Oracle System Assistant. For more information, see “Setting Up
Software and Firmware Using Oracle System Assistant” on page 101.
Video (VGA) ports One rear high-density DB-15 video port.
Service processor (SP) The server has an integrated service processor (SP). The SP provides IPMI 2.0-
compliant remote management capabilities. The SP features:
■ Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) version 3.2.4 (initial version)
■ Local Oracle ILOM command-line access using a serial connection
■ Support for Ethernet access to the SP through a dedicated, 10/100/1000BASE-
T management port (NET MGT) and optionally through one of the host Ethernet
ports (sideband management)
■ Support for remote KVMS (keyboard, video, mouse, and storage) over IP
Management Software ■ Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) on the service processor
■ Oracle System Assistant on an optional internal USB flash drive
■ Oracle Hardware Management Pack, downloadable from the Oracle site
Power supplies Two hot-swappable and highly-redundant 600W power supplies.
Cooling fans Four 40-mm, hot-swappable fan modules for chassis cooling. Each fan module
contains two counter-rotating fan pairs (four rotors total).
Each power supply has its own cooling fans.
