1.1 Workflows for the SPARC M12-2S
The SPARC M12-2S is a 4U-size chassis that can be configured with up to 2 CPUs (12 cores per CPU). Employing the building block method, the system can be expanded in phases from the 1BB configuration to up to the 16BB configuration.
This section separates the workflows into one used with a single SPARC M12-2S and one used with two or more SPARC M12-2S systems in a building block configuration.

Item Without Expansion Rack With Expansion Rack
Mounting rack Mounted in a 19 inch rack Mounted in an expansion rack
Number of configurations Up to 4BB configurations From 2BB to 16BB configurations (*1)
Chassis connection method Direct connections between chassis Connections via crossbar box
*1 An expansion rack can be used to mount 2BB or larger configurations. Two expansion racks are required for 9BB or larger configurations.
