System Overview
The Sun Fire Enterprise 2900 server was introduced in May of 2004 as the replacement for the Sun Fire V1280 server. It gives you a choice of 4-way, 8-way, or 12-way multiprocessing based on boards containing four UltraSPARC III, IV, or IV+ processors using one, two, or three perpendicularly mounted processor boards. As with the Sun Fire V1280, rocessor boards contain four processors of the same speed. However, the E2900 supports mixed-speed CPUs on multiple boards, so the addition of a faster processor board does not necessitate the upgrading of previously installed system boards. Large memory capacity allows high performance through data-in-memory applications. Up to 192 GB memory gives you plenty of flexibility. The server also gives you large and multiple concurrent data access from memory, such as 512 data bits per access, ECC-protected. The Sun Fire E2900 server gives you a host of advanced availability features, including: dynamic reconfiguration of CPU/memory boards, hot CPU upgrades, redundant Sun Fireplane interconnect, redundant network connections, hot-swap disks, smart fans, and 2N redundant hot-swap power supplies.
The Sun Fire E2900 was shipped as a RoHS compliant server starting in July of 2006, and was EOL’d (end-of-lifed) in April of 2009.
It is replaced by both the Enterprise M4000 and the Enterprise M5000.
Sun has a free-to-the-public field engineer's handbook called Sunsolve. The handbook pages for the Sun Enterprise E2900 server can be viewed by clicking here. This page also contains a link to the E2900 RoHS version of the server.
