System Configuration Card (SCC)

The system configuration card stores system configuration variables and MAC addresses. For more information on the system configuration card, refer to the Netra 440 Server Product Overview (817-3881-xx).

You can replace a functioning system configuration card and install it into another system. thereby preserving the system's host ID information. Thus, migrating a system configuration card from one system to another can smooth transitions to new or upgraded systems, or quickly bring up a backup system if a primary system becomes unavailable, without disrupting the system's identity on the network. Note that you can only migrate a system configuration card from one Netra 440 server to another Netra 440 server.

If you are replacing a defective system configuration card, you must contact a Sun service representative to obtain a new card with the existing server's host ID and MAC address. Do not reuse an old system configuration card if you have replaced it with a new one with the same host ID and MAC address.



caution icon

Caution - Do not handle the system configuration card unless you need to transfer it to another system. If you need to handle the card for this reason, avoid contact with the gold terminals on the underside of the card.





caution icon

Caution - Never remove the system configuration card while the server is booting or running the Solaris OS. Either disconnect power from the server, or put the server into standby mode, before removing or inserting the SCC. If the SCC is removed while the system is running, the system will shut down if the SCC is not replaced within 60 seconds.



Keep the following points in mind when removing or installing the system configuration card:



caution icon

Caution - Because the system configuration card is crucial for system operation, you must store the SCC safely if you have to remove it from the server, and replace it before restarting the server.

Memory Modules

The Netra 440 server uses 2.5-volt, high-capacity double data-rate dual inline memory modules (DDR DIMMs) with error-correcting code (ECC). The system supports DIMMs with 512-Mbyte and 1-Gbyte capacities.

Within each CPU/memory module, the four DIMM slots are organized into groups of two. The system reads from, or writes to, both DIMMs in a group simultaneously. DIMMs, therefore, must be added in pairs. The figure below shows the DIMM slots and DIMM groups on a Netra 440 server CPU/memory module. Adjacent slots belong to the same DIMM group. The two groups are designated 0 and 1.

  FIGURE 4-21 Memory Module Groups 0 and 1

This illustration shows the two DIMM groups on a CPU/memory module. DIMMs are added in pairs in adjacent slots.

You must physically remove a CPU/memory module from the system before you can install or remove DIMMs. The DIMMs must be added in pairs within the same DIMM group, and each pair used must have two identical DIMMs installed--that is, both DIMMs in each group must be from the same manufacturing vendor and must have the same capacity (for example, two 512-Mbyte DIMMs or two 1-Gbyte DIMMs).



Note - Each CPU/memory module must be populated with a minimum of two DIMMs, installed in either group 0 or group 1.





caution icon

Caution - DIMMs are made of electronic components that are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Static electricity from your clothes or work environment can destroy the DIMM. Do not remove a DIMM from its antistatic packaging until you are ready to install it on the CPU/memory module. Handle the DIMM only by its edges. Do not touch the components or any metal part. Always wear an antistatic grounding strap when you handle the DIMM. For more information, see Avoiding Electrostatic Discharge.



Memory Interleaving

You can maximize the system's memory bandwidth by taking advantage of its memory interleaving capabilities. The Netra 440 server supports two-way interleaving. In most cases, higher interleaving results in improved system performance. However, actual performance results can vary depending on the system application. Two-way interleaving occurs automatically in any DIMM bank where the DIMM capacities in DIMM group 1 do not match the capacities used in a DIMM group 2. For optimum performance, install identical DIMMs in all four slots in a CPU/memory module.

Keep the following points in mind when removing or installing a memory module:



Note - If DIMMs of different densities and speeds are installed as a pair, both DIMMs will operate at the lower density and slower speed.



The part numbers for the memory modules are:

The ALOM serial management port (labeled SERIAL MGT) and network management port (labeled NET MGT) are present in the Solaris OS device tree as /dev/ttya, and in the OpenBoot configuration variables as ttya. However, the serial management port does not function as a standard serial connection. If you want to attach a standard serial device to the system (such as a printer), you need to use the DB-9 connector on the system back panel, which corresponds to /dev/ttyb in the Solaris OS device tree, and as ttyb in the OpenBoot configuration variables. See the Netra 440 Server Product Overview (817-3881-xx) for more information.



Note - All internal devices, except hard drives, must be installed only by qualified service personnel.



The part number for the ALOM system controller card is F501-6346.
