Server Features This document describes the features of the SPARC® Enterprise T5440 server. The following topics are covered: “SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server” on page 1 “Features at a Glance” on page 2 “Additional Feature Information” on page 4 SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server The SPARC Enterprise T5440 server (FIGURE 1) is a scalable, reliable, high-performance server, optimized for enterprise data centers.
FIGURE 1 SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server Features at a Glance TABLE 1 lists the features of the SPARC Enterprise T5440 server. TABLE 1 Feature Specification Table Feature Specifications Chassis dimensions and T5440 – 4 rack units (4U): rackmounting Width Height hardware Inches 16.75 6.98 Millimeters 425 176 Processor Depth 28.
TABLE 1 Feature Specification Table (Continued) Feature Specifications Ethernet Ports Four 1-Gb Ethernet, RJ-45-based, autonegotiating ports. 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. I/O Expansion slots Eight PCI Express expansion slots with the following slot designated specifications*: • All 8 slots support PCIe, 8-lane • Two slots support 16-lane cards operating at 8 lanes.
* PCIe and PCI-X specifications described in this table list the physical requirements for PCI cards. Additional support capabilities must also be provided (such as device drivers) for a PCI card to function in the server. Refer to the specifications and documentation for a given PCI card to determine if the required drivers are provided that enable the card to function in this server.
Robust I/O bandwidth with 8 lanes available in all of the PCIe slots. Eco-responsibility through the use of power supplies that are compliant with 80 Plus and Climate Savers computing initiatives.
Support for Virtualization Through Logical Domains The SPARC Enterprise T5440 server supports the use of open source Logical Domains (LDoms) technology. Through the use of the Solaris OS and the built-in server firmware, and by installing the Logical Domains Manager software, you can virtualize the compute services that run on your server. A logical domain is a discrete, logical grouping with its own operating system, resources, and identity within a single computer system.
You can configure ILOM to send email alerts of hardware failures and warnings, and other events related to the server. The ILOM circuitry runs independently of the server, using the server’s standby power. Therefore, ILOM firmware and software continue to function when the server operating system goes offline or when the server is powered off.
Easy access for most component replacements Hot-Pluggable and Hot-Swappable Components SPARC Enterprise T5440 server hardware is designed to support hot-plugging of the chassismounted hard drives, and hot-swapping of fan units power supplies. By using the proper software commands, you can install or remove these components while the system is running.
Support for RAID Storage Configurations You can set up hardware RAID 1 (mirroring) and hardware RAID 0 (striping) configurations for any pair of internal hard drives, providing a high-performance solution for hard drive mirroring. By attaching one or more external storage devices to the server, you can use a RAID software application such as Solstice DiskSuite™ or VERITAS Volume Manager1 to configure system drive storage in a variety of different RAID levels.
