Appendix Model ranges

The SX140 Business Server model range consists of the following (basic configuration):

Servers in the SX140 series model range

The basic versions of the SX140 model range have a single system board and can be

extended by one system board.

In the basic configuration up to 7 SPARC64-CPUs, each with 1.3 GHz and up to 12 GB of

memory, are provided for each BS2000 partition. Processors can be attached or detached

as required without causing any system interruptions (Capacity on Demand).

Each system board can be operated in PSB or XSB mode. For each system board one

physical board can be configured in PSB mode, and up to 4 extended system boards in XSB

mode (i.e. on an SX140 system a total of 8 extended system boards can be used).

A system board has 8 processor slots, 8 slots for memory modules and 8 PCI slots. An

extension by 10 PCI slots and 4 slots for hard disks is possible with the aid of a PCI/disk box.

Using XSB mode the hardware resources of a system board listed above can each be

divided into 4 independent extended system boards (XSBs). The interface for setting or

modifying PSB or XSB mode and its configuration is described in the section “Administering

the system board’s operating mode” on page 75.

XSBs can then be used as the basis for extended partitions (XPARs). The interface for this

function is described in the section “Configuring and modifying partitions” on page 78.

Here it is not necessary for the XSBs to be consecutive (XSBn, XSBn+1, XSBn+2,...,

XSBn+m) in an extended partition; partitions may also be formed on the basis of XSB00-0

and XSB00-3, for example. This is important inasmuch as the XSBs are equipped differently

with PCI slots (see figure 128 on page 400).

The table 16 indicates the XSBs that are used in the basic version of the different SX140

models.
