An affordable Solaris (SPARC Platform Edition) server aimed specifically at the needs of service providers, the Netra t1 server completes the Netra t product line. Sun designed the Netra t1 server from the ground up as a powerful I/O processing server optimized for high-density rack-mount environments. It has no frame buffer, audio capability, mouse port or even keyboard port - it's managed entirely from the console.One of the Netra t1 server's key features is its small form factor: its chassis measures just 1U (1.75") high, allowing it to be densely packed into existing racks. This helps reduce operating system costs by using exiting space more efficiently. In addition, the Netra t1 server package includes a 19" rack-mounting kit with rails that uses no vertical rack space. Sun also designed the Netra t1 server to provide high levels of availability. A lights-out management (LOM) module lets system administrators monitor the system board, fan power and RPM, and temperature via a dedicated LOM serial port, combined console/LOM serial port, or alarm software that can be tied into SNMP. The LOM module also allows remote power on/off and cycle, and has an automatic server restart (ASR) feature. Service provider input also produced the Netra t1 server's many serviceability features. Low-profile, hot-pluggable SCSI disk drives are accessible from the front of the system to allow easy service and maintenance. The Host-ID module can be pulled out manually, so that the system can be replaced without affecting software that's Host-ID-bound.
