Sun Fire V445 Server Administration Guide - SCN Research

System reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) are enhanced by features that
include hot-pluggable disk drives and redundant, hot-swappable power supplies
and fan trays. A full list of RAS features are described in Chapter 5.
The system, which is mountable in a 4-post rack, measures 7 inches high (4 rack
units - U), 17.6 inches wide, and 24 inches deep (22.225 cm x 44.7 cm x 60.96 cm).
The system weighs approximately 75 lb (34.02 kg). Robust remote access is provided
with Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM) software, which also controls
powering on/off and diagnostics. The system also meets ROHS requirements.
TABLE 1-1 provides a brief description of the Sun Fire V445 server features. More
