1-2 Sun Netra CP3000 Advanced Mezzanine Card PCIe Hard Drive and SAS Controller User’s Guide • March 2010
1.1 System Requirements
The following sections briefly describe the minimum system requirements and the
configurable features. Links are provided to other chapters and appendixes
containing more detailed information.
1.1.1 Operating Systems Compatibility
The following operating systems are compatible with the AMC.1-HDD SAS disk.
■Solaris™10
■Solaris x86 10
■Windows Server 2003
■Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5
1.1.2 Chassis Compatibility
Before using this AMC.1-HDD SAS disk, review the specifications of the chassis and
backplane that will house the module to determine the presence of, and any
limitations of, chassis, IPMI bus, and user-defined pin-outs. For example, some
chassis backplanes route certain I/O pins to internal resources such as alarm cards
and drive resources. The AMC.1-HDD SAS disk is intended for an AdvancedTCA
AMC carrier card site that is AMC.1 compliant. It is your responsibility to verify
system compatibility. Failure to do so could result in improper operation or
equipment damage.
1.1.3 Blade Server Compatibility
The AMC.1-HDD SAS disk modules plug into ATCA carrier boards that support a
combination of AMC.1 (PCI Express) and AMC.3 (SAS) storage signaling.
At the time of publication of this document, the AMC.1-HDD SAS disk is qualified
and supported on the following Sun blade servers:
■Sun Netra CP3060 blade server
■Sun Netra CP3220 blade server
■Sun Netra CP3250 blade server

Chapter 1 Getting Started 1-3
1.1.4 Electrical and Environmental
See Appendix B for electrical and environmental requirements.
Caution – None of the integrated chips junction temperature should exceed 125˚C.
The AMC requires air flow to meet this requirement. Testing should be done in the
shelf to find the quantity of air flow needed. The recommended minimum air flow is
50 LFM.
1.2 Unpacking
Check the shipping carton for damage. If the shipping carton or contents are
damaged, notify the carrier and Sun. Retain the shipping carton and packing
material for inspection by the carrier. Obtain authorization before returning any
product to Sun. Refer to the Netra CP3000 Advanced Mezzanine Card PCIe SAS
Controller and Hard Drive Getting Started Guide (820-7177) for return instructions.
Caution – This board must be protected from static discharge and physical shock.
Never remove any of the socketed parts except at a static-free workstation. Use the
antistatic bag shipped with the product to handle the board. Wear a wrist strap
grounded through one of the system's ESD ground jacks when installing or servicing
system components.

1-4 Sun Netra CP3000 Advanced Mezzanine Card PCIe Hard Drive and SAS Controller User’s Guide • March 2010
1.3 Handling AMCs
Caution – The system is sensitive to static electricity. To prevent damage to the
assembly, always connect an antistatic wrist strap between you and the system.
Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry. Static discharge can damage these
circuits.
An antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam pad is strongly recommend for
handling AMCs when installing or upgrading a system. Electronic components, such
as disk drives, computer boards, and memory modules can be extremely sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). After removing the component from its protective
wrapper or from the system, place the component flat on a grounded, static-free
surface (and, in the case of a board, component side up). Do not slide the component
over any surface.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD by
wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available in the shipkit and at electronics stores)
that is attached to an active electrical ground. Note that a system chassis might not
be grounded if it is unplugged.
Caution – Dangerous voltages, capable of causing injury or death, are present in
this equipment. Use extreme caution when handling, testing, and adjusting within a
system.
Caution – Do not flex the AMCs; the surface-mounted components can break if the
AMC is bent.
Our suppliers take significant steps to ensure that there are no bent pins on the
backplane or connector damage to the AMCs prior to leaving the factory. Bent pins
caused by improper installation or by AMCs with damaged connectors could void
the warranty for the backplane or boards.
To minimize the amount of AMC flexing, observe the following precautions:
■When removing an AMC from an electrostatic discharge bag, keep the AMC
vertical until you place it on the electrostatic discharge mat.
■Do not place an AMC on a hard surface. Use a cushioned antistatic mat. The
AMC connectors and components have very thin pins that bend easily.
■Be careful of small parts located on the component side of an AMC.

Chapter 1 Getting Started 1-5
■Do not use an oscilloscope probe on the components. The soldered pins are easily
damaged or shorted by the probe point.
■Transport an AMC in an antistatic bag.

1.6 Removing and Installing AMCs
This section describes how to remove and install AMCs.
The AMC.1-HDD SAS disk can be installed into an ATCA shelf (chassis) with sites
that support AMC.1 PCI Express signaling. The site height must properly match the
panel height fitted to the AMC.
At the time of publication of this document, the AMC.1-HDD SAS disk is qualified
and supported on the following Sun blade servers:
■Sun Netra CP3060 blade server
■Sun Netra CP3220 blade server
■Sun Netra CP3250 blade server
1.6.1 Removing an AMC
If you want to remove only an AMC from a blade server, use the following
instructions.
If you want to remove the blade server with the AMC installed, see the next section
Section 1.6.2, “Removing a Blade Server and AMC” on page 1-12.
Caution – Before removing an AMC, read all cautions, warnings, and instructions
presented earlier in this chapter.
1. Shut down the payload OS.
Removing a board before powering down the operating system might cause an
OS panic, which could corrupt data or file systems.
2. At the front of the blade server, locate the AMC you want to remove.
Depending on the blade server’s AMC site location, you might have to remove
the blade server from the chassis. Some blade servers have compartments for
AMCs that can only be accessed when the blade server is removed from the
chassis.
3. If the blade server must be removed to access the AMC, go to Section 1.6.2,
“Removing a Blade Server and AMC” on page 1-12.

Chapter 1 Getting Started 1-9
Note – Depending on how the Shelf controls deactivation, the Shelf might not
initiate deactivation when you disengage the ejector latch. If so, either configure the
Shelf to allow deactivation via latch opening or deactivate by other methods.
4. For the AMC, initiate the hot-swap deactivation sequence by pulling the
injector/ejector latch out half way (FIGURE 1-2).
The Hot-Swap LED starts blinking.
5. Wait until the Hot-Swap LED is solid blue.
