Sun Fire[tm] 6800 Server: Hardware Specifications

Processor
Number Two to 24
Architecture UltraSPARC[tm] III: 750MHz
UltraSPARC III Cu (copper based): 900MHz, 1050MHz or 1200MHz
UltraSPARC IV: 1050MHz, 1200MHz or 1350MHz
UltraSPARC IV+: 1.5GHz or 1.8GHz
Cache per processor UltraSPARC III and III CU:
Primary (L1): 32 KB instruction, and 64 KB data cache
Secondary (L2): 8 MB, ECC protected
UltraSPARC IV:
Primary (L1): 64 KB 4-way data, 32 KB 4-way instruction, 2 KB Write, 2 KB Prefetch
Secondary (L2): 16 MB external (exclusive access to 8 MB per pipeline), On-chip controller and address tags
UltraSPARC IV+:
Primary (L2): 2 MB on-chip
Secondary (L3): 32 MB off-chip
CPU interface Packet-switch crossbar connecting up to 6 CPU/Memory boards, and up to 4 I/O assemblies
System Interconnect Fireplane, 9.6 GB/sec (at 150 MHz)
System Boards
Number of boards Maximum of 6 CPU/Memory boards and 4 I/O assemblies
CPU/Memory board Two CPU's with 32 GB (max) Memory or four CPU's with 64 GB (max) memory 
PCI I/O Assembly Eight PCI slots supporting:
  6 full or short cards
4 at 33 MHz, 5V (slots 2, 4, 5, 6)
2 at 33/66 MHz, 3.3V (slots 3, 7)
  2 short boards
33 MHz, 5V (slots 0 and 1)
CompactPCI I/O Assembly Four CompactPCI slots supporting 4-3U cPCI cards
2 at 33/66 MHz, 3.3V (slot 0 and 1)
2 at 33 MHz, 5V (slots 2 and 3)
PCI-X I/O Assembly Eight 64-bit PCI-X slots
6 at 100 MHz
2 at 33 MHz
Main Memory
64 GB memory (max) per 4 CPU's or 32 GB memory (max) per 2 CPU's on a CPU/Memory board

Maximum system memory capacity of 384 GB (6 × 64 GB)

1GB DIMMs are not supported on 750MHz CPU/Memory boards.

Note: The UltraSPARC III processor contains an integrated memory controller which is responsible for memory management of local memory and for running diagnostics on the CPU/Memory board. Therefore, memory capacity is directly related to the number of CPU's.

Standard Interfaces
System Controller Responsible for the overall control of the system. Each System Controller includes one RS-232/423 (DB25) serial interface and one 10/100BASE-T ethernet/fast ethernet (RJ45) interface. Dual system controllers are standard on the Sun Fire 6800.
Internal Mass Storage
Sun StorEdge[tm] D240 Media Tray A 2U-high, rack-mounted unit into which two UltraWide SCSI3 disk drive, and one DVD drive and one DDS4 tape drive can be fitted. The DVD and DDS4 devices can be replaced by extra disk drives if required. Up to 3 - D240 trays can be installed into the Sun Fire 6800 cabinet.
Power Supplies
The Sun Fire 3800-6800 server family can be configured with N"4" redundant DC bulk power supplies, which are hot swappable. The DC bulk power supplies provide power for all of the Sun Fire 3800-6800 systems' internal requirements, on a load-shared 48VDC power bus. The base package comes with 6 power supplies.
