Overview

Note –

When the ARTM-HD is used with a Netra ATCA blade server, shielded

cables are required for serial I/O ports. The shields for all shielded cables must be
terminated on both ends.

Caution –

You must use shielded cables for all ports to satisfy EMI compliance

standards.

The customer can order the ARTM-HD, build a custom module that is ACTA or
ARTM compatible, or buy a module from an IHV. A minimum set of I/O is required
to provide a boot path for the host board and for console I/O to issue commands
and read board and system status.

Possible boot and console configurations are described in

TABLE 1-3

. Sun

Microsystems provides the Netra ATCA blade servers and compatible ARTM-HD.
This module provides one 10/100/100 MBASE-T Ethernet RJ-45 port and one serial
port from the host to the back of the system, and can optionally be used for network
booting as a diskless client. The other configurations require IHV hardware.
