Identifying the Netra Chassis Models

This section replaces similar information in the service manual. There are four Netra 6000 chassis models. Two models are AC and two are DC. Some server modules and some components will only work together in a certain chassis, and that information is also provided in these product notes.

Netra 6000 Modular System Chassis Marketing Number | CMM ILOM Firmware | X6270 Server Module Support
--- | --- | ---
N6000-AC 594-6438 | 3.x |
N6000-DC 594-6726 | 3.x | Yes
N6000 AC 7100418 594-6893 | 4.x | Yes
N6000 DC 7100417 594-6892 | 4.x | Yes

This table shows chassis models supported with the server module and the minimum CMM ILOM firmware versions.

The most visible difference between the two chassis models is the CMM on the rear of the chassis:

- Left: CMM (501-7379) on the N6000-AC 594-6438 chassis, and N6000-DC 594-6726 chassis.

- Right: CMM (511-1531) on the N6000 DC 7100417 chassis and the N6000 AC 7100418 chassis.

- Right - CMM (7019286 or higher product part number) on the 7100417 chassis and the 7100418 chassis. (This CMM is required to support the Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized 40GbE Network Express Module)

Server Module Firmware

During manufacturing, Oracle installs the latest available Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) and BIOS firmware on the server module. You should periodically check for firmware updates. Obtain the newest firmware from: `https://support.oracle.com`

The following table identifies the minimum supported ILOM and BIOS firmware versions.

TABLE 1-1 Minimum Supported Firmware
Hardware Updates | Software Release | ILOM Service Processor (SP) Firmware | BIOS Firmware for NX6270 M2 Server Module
--- | --- | --- | ---
N/A | 1.0.1 | 3.0.9.23 59192 | BIOS 08.05.01.14

### Versions of Intel Microcode and Reference Code Used in the BIOS Firmware

The following table lists the versions of the Intel Microcode and Reference Code used in the BIOS firmware image for Software Release 1.0.

TABLE 1-2 Intel Microcode and Reference Code Used in BIOS Firmware for Software Release 1.0
Intel Software | Version
--- | ---
Intel CPU Microcode | SRV_C_87
Intel RC | p2.70
Intel CPU Reference Code | 1.06
