Note - Insert the connector straight into the server module. The cable dongle is for temporary connections only. The cable dongle has not been evaluated for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The cable dongle or server module connectors could be damaged by closing rack doors or other impacts. Remove the cable dongle during normal system operation.

| Caution - If you are using the older 4-cable dongle(UCP-4), do notuse the RJ-45 connector with the Sun Netra T6340 Server Module. Use the DB-9 connector for serial connections.

### 1.1.1 Multicore Processor Information

The UltraSPARC® T2 Plus multicore processor is the basis of the Sun Netra T6340 Server Module. This server module supports two UltraSPARC T2 CPU modules.

Each processor has four, six, or eight UltraSPARC cores. Each core equates to a 64-bit execution pipeline capable of running eight threads. The result is that the 8-core processor handles up to 128 active threads concurrently. For more information about the UltraSPARC® T2 Plus multicore processors, go to:

`http://www.sun.com/processors/UltraSPARC-T2/features.xml`

`http://www.sun.com/servers/wp.jsp?tab=1`

### 1.1.2 Support for RAID Storage Configurations

In addition to software RAID configurations, you can set up hardware RAID 1 (mirroring) and hardware RAID 0 (striping) configurations for any pair of internal hard drives using the on-board controller, providing a high-performance solution for hard drive mirroring.

By attaching one or more external storage devices to the Sun Netra T6340 Server Module, you can use a redundant array of independent drives (RAID) to configure system drive storage in a variety of different RAID levels.

1.2 Finding the Serial Number

To obtain support for your system, you need the serial number. The serial number is located on a sticker on the front of the server module (FIGURE 1-6).
