CPU Module
The CPU module (CPUM) contains a SPARC64 VI/SPARC64 VII/SPARC64 VII+
processor and a DC-DC converter (DDC). Up to four CPUMs can be mounted on a
CPU/memory board unit.
The CPUM has the following features:
The CPUM contains a SPARC64 VI/SPARC64 VII/SPARC64 VII+, a high-
■
performance multicore CPU that uses the latest LSI process.
If an unforeseen fault is detected, the SPARC64 VI/SPARC64 VII/SPARC64 VII+
■
processor enables operation to continue without interruption by using an
automatic recovery function, automatic retry function, or automatic degradation
function, depending on how the system is configured.
A redundant DDC configuration enables continuous operation even if a DDC
