PCIe Slots (SPARC T5-8 Servers)
Each Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 contains two SPARC T5-8 servers, regardless if it is a Full Rack
or a Half Rack. The distinguishing factor between a Full Rack or a Half Rack version of Oracle
SuperCluster T5-8 is not the number of SPARC T5-8 servers, but the number of processor
modules in each SPARC T5-8 server, where the Full Rack has four processor modules and the
Half Rack has two processor modules. See
information.
Each SPARC T5-8 server has sixteen PCIe slots:
Full Rack – All 16 PCIe slots are accessible, and all 16 PCIe slots are occupied with either
■
InfiniBand HCAs or 10-GbE NICs.
Half Rack – All 16 PCIe slots are accessible, but only eight of the 16 PCIe slots are
■
occupied with either InfiniBand HCAs or 10-GbE NICs. The remaining eight PCIe slots are
available for optional Fibre Channel PCIe cards.
The following figures show the topology for the Full Rack and Half Rack versions of Oracle
SuperCluster T5-8. Also see
information.
