This appendix contains technical specification information about your system, as follows:
Table A-1 summarizes the Altix ICE 8200 series configuration ranges. Note that while each compute/memory board can house either one or two processors; each processor socket houses two or four processor “cores”.
Table A-1. Altix ICE 8200 Series Configuration Ranges
Category | Minimum | Maximum |
|---|---|---|
Processors | 8 processor cores (2 blades)[a] | 512 processor cores per rack |
Individual Rack Units (IRUs) | 1 per rack | 4 per rack |
Compute/memory blade DIMM capacity | 2 DIMMs per blade (4 MB minimum per blade)[b] | 8 DIMMs per blade |
System main memory DIMMs | 8 per IRU | 128 per IRU (512 per rack) |
Chassis management blades | One per IRU | 4 per rack |
InfiniBand switch blades | 2 per IRU | 4 per IRU (16 per rack) |
[a] Compute blades support one or two stuffed sockets each. This is a total of four or eight cores per blade. [b] Eight MB minimum memory per bladeis required for systems using Scali Manage software. | ||

This section contains specifications and port pinout information for the base I/O ports of your system, as follows:
The system auto-selects the Ethernet port speed and type (duplex vs. half-duplex) when the server is booted, based on what it is connected to. Figure A-1 shows the Ethernet port.
Table A-4 shows the cable pinout assignments for the Ethernet port operating in 10/100-Base-T mode and also operating in 1000Base-T mode.
Ethernet 10/100Base-T Pinouts | Gigabit Ethernet Pinouts |

The IRU's chassis management control boards have 9-pin serial interface connectors. These ports are capable of transferring data at rates as high as 230 kbps. Other features of the ports include the following:
Programmable data, parity, and stop bits
Programmable baud rate and modem control
Figure A-2 shows an example serial port.
Table A-5 shows pinout assignments for the 9-pin male DB-9 connector.
Pin | Assignment | Description |
