PCI cards can be mounted in up to 20 slots in total. This enables the user to flexibly configure the required I/O configurations. . PRIMEPOWER 650, with its ability to be easily installed in either an office or computer center environment, supports the widest range of use for many applications. -
Page 5: Primepower 850 Features
PRIMEPOWER 650 and 850 Technical White Paper PRIMEPOWER 850 Features PRIMEPOWER 850 is a larger mid-range, rack-mounted server model that can accommodate up to sixteen 675 MHz SPARC64™ GP CPUs. A source-synchronous method that enables ultra high-speed transmission frequency of 540MHz on the core system bus is employed to achieve excellent expansion of system bus performance to 41.5GB/s. -
Page 6: Primepower Server Lineup
A high-speed bus called the named Channel Bus connects with the PCI bridge. A PCI bus that conforms to PCI Rev. 2.1 is used for the I/O bus. PCI slots capable of operating at 64-bit/66 MHz are provided enabling PRIMEPOWER 650 and 850 to be used as high-speed network or large-scale file servers. - Page 7 The PRIMEPOWER architecture follows a consistent design policy. This same hardware design policy is used on both PRIMEPOWER 650 and 850. Solaris, the international operating environment is used. This ensures binary compatibility of applications between PRIMEPOWER server models as well as between the SPARC/Solaris units.

Page 8: System Architecture
PRIMEPOWER 650 and 850 Technical White Paper System Architecture Features PRIMEPOWER 650 and 850 are rack-mounted, mid-range servers with the following features: 1. High-performance SPARC64™ GP processors with large-capacity secondary cache - SPARC64™ GP (675 MHz) @ 8 MB E-cache 2. -
Page 9: Configuration Basics
The basic unit of each PRIMEPOWER model is a high-density system board capable of accommodating up to eight processors and a maximum memory capacity of 32 GB. One system board can be mounted in a PRIMEPOWER 650 and two system boards can be mounted in a PRIMEPOWER 850. -
Page 10: System Board
The SPARC64™ GP CPU employs super scalar processing technology and is a highly reliable, highly integrated processor based on the SPARC-V9 64 bit architecture. PRIMEPOWER 650 and 850 models provide a processor module with a SPARC64™ GP CPU and secondary cache SRAM mounted in high density. -
Page 11: Memory Subsystem
This requirement causes an increase in memory access latency and an increase in the number of parts. In designing PRIMEPOWER 650 and 850, the need for this crossbar has been eliminated, and the goal of direct connection between the system boards has been achieved. - Page 12 PRIMEPOWER 650 and 850 Technical White Paper As shown in the figure below, the data system is divided into four groups. Each group connects with four CPUs and an I/O bridge. Memory is also divided into four parts, with each part controlled by a SC and addresses are interleaved between two SCs on the system board.

PRIMEPOWER 650 and 850 Technical White Paper I/O Subsystem and PCIBOX These models use a PCI bus as the I-O bus. The PCI bus conforms to PCI Rev. 2.1 and can operate in 32/64-bit mode at 33/66 MHz. Eight PCI slots per system board (33 MHz x 6 and 66 MHz x 2) are built into the cabinet. -
Page 14: Power Supply Subsystem
Power Supply Subsystem The power supply subsystem of the PRIMEPOWER 650 is capable of handling 100-120 VAC or 200-240 V AC at 50/60 Hz. For 100 V AC, the power supply subsystem is connected using three cables as standard. For 200 V AC, the power supply subsystem is connected using two cables as standard. -
Page 15: High Availability Function
Fujitsu controls and guarantees the reliability of the parts used. When new parts are used, Fujitsu evaluates them by checking the lifespan using stress tests such as burn-in tests to determine whether the parts provide the reliability that the product aims for. -
Page 16: Degradation Function Using Initial Diagnosis
To quickly execute file system recovery (fsck) after a system failure occurs, a journal file system such as Fujitsu’s SynfinityFile is required. In addition to faster fsck, installing SynfinityFile enables extension of the file system size that accompanies data expansion and load distribution. SynfinityFile’s multi-volume function enables such expansion to be executed without having to stop the system. -
Page 17: Cluster System
PRIMEPOWER 650 and 850 Technical White Paper Cluster System In cluster system configurations, PRIMEPOWER 650 and 850 systems provide even more reliability, availability, and scalability. High operating ratio can be achieved with cluster systems using components such as S ynfinityCluster, SynfinityDisk, S ynfinityFile, and S ynfinityLink with these servers. -
Page 18: Basic Software
SPARC V9 architecture. Solaris8 maintains high compatibility with conventional 32-bit applications. Solaris8 supports a 64-bit virtual address space and 64-bit file systems. The software group required for efficient operation of PRIMEPOWER 650 and 850 is included in the Enhanced Support Facility supplied with PRIMEPOWER 650 and 850 as standard. - Page 19 Fujitsu has pursued the High Availability concept with PRIMEPOWER 650 and 850 by employing redundancy and support for hot swapping of all essential components. Moreover, PRIMEPOWER 650 and 850 provide a full range of functions required by Enterprise Servers.
