CHAPTER 1
Product Overview
The Netra t 1400/1405 computer system is a one- to four-processor device that uses
the family of UltraSPARC™ II processors. Housed within a rack-mounting
enclosure, the Netra t 1400/1405 provides the following:
■High performance processors
■Extensive I/O expansion and a wide range of options
■Modular internal design
■High performance disk, system, memory and I/O subsystems
■High performance peripheral component interconnect (PCI) I/O
■Redundant hot swap power supply units
■Rack mounting options available
■Alarms functionality for remote management
The Netra t 1400 is powered by –48V / –60V DC supplies. The Netra t 1405 is
powered by standard AC supplies. This is the only difference between the systems.
FIGURE 1-1 and FIGURE 1-2 on page 3 illustrate the front and rear, respectively, of the
Netra t 1400; FIGURE 1-3 and FIGURE 1-4 on page 4 illustrate the front and rear,
respectively, of the Netra t 1405. The following sections provide a brief description of
the Netra t 1400/1405 I/O devices and a detailed overview of the system unit
features.
System Unit Features
System unit components are housed in a rack-mounting enclosure. Overall enclosure
dimensions (width x depth x height) are 431.8mm x 477.3mm x 264mm (17.00in. x
18.79in. x 10.39in. (6U)). System unit electronics are contained on a single printed
circuit board (motherboard). The motherboard contains the CPU module(s), memory,
system control application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and I/O ASICs.

2Netra t 1400/1405 Installation and User’s Guide • September 1999
The system unit has the following features:
■Rack mounting enclosure with n + 1 redundant hot swap –48VDC / –60VDC
(Netra t 1400) or AC (Netra t 1405) power supplies
■support for up to four modular 440MHz UltraSPARC II processors with
4Mbyte cache
■UltraSPARC Port Architecture (UPA) coherent memory interconnect
■use of DIMMs, with an interleaved memory system. Each pair of DIMM slots
(four rows of two pairs each) accepts 64 or 256Mbyte DIMM modules. Populating
with two pairs of identical capacity DIMMs enables the memory controller to
interleave and overlap, providing optimal system performance. There are a total
of 16 DIMM slots supplying a minimum of 256Mbyte
(4 x 64Mbyte) and a maximum of 4Gbyte (16 x 256Mbyte) of memory.
■Four PCI slots:
■two 33MHz, 64- or 32-bit, 5VDC slots
■one 33MHz 32-bit only 5VDC slot
■one 66MHz or 33MHz, 64- or 32-bit, 3.3VDC slot
Universal PCI cards can be used in any of the four PCI slots.
■10/100 Megabit per second (Mbps) Ethernet
■40Mb/s Fast-20 (UltraSCSI) disk subsystem supporting up to four 18MB disk
drives
■Two RS232/423 DB-25 serial ports (asynchronous protocols)
■Parallel port
■External Fast-20 (UltraSCSI) 68-pin port
■Up to two SCSI removable media drives (CD-ROM or DAT or both)
■Alarms card implementing Lights Out Management
