Sun Fire E2900 Hardware Specifications

Processor Options

ProcessorCombine 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
ArchitectureSuperscalar SPARC V9, ECC protected
Cache per UltraSPARC IV+ processorLevel 1: 64 KB data and 64 KB instruction per pipeline
Level 2: 2 MB on-chip
Level 3: 32 MB external

System

Processor/memory boardsUp 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.
Main MemoryUp to 192 GB per system
PCI-XSix short PCI-X slots (64-bit 100 MHz,3.3V)
One integrated Ultra-320 SCSI (one internal and one external port)
Two Gigabit Ethernet ports with another two on a separate grid
System interconnect9.6-GB/sec. Sun Fireplane interconnect. System bus with redundant data, address and response crossbar interconnect
System bandwidth9.6-GB/sec. sustained bandwidth, 31.2-GB/sec. aggregate bandwidth

Storage

InternalTwo 146-GB 15K rpm Ultra3-SCSI internal disks
DVD-ROM internal drive
Tape drive (optional)
External compatibilityDirect attach to Sun StorageTek tape libraries and disk arrays, including: Sun StorageTek 3000, 6000, and 9000 families, providing excellent linear scalability x
