  5. Support up to 2 GB memory on-board (64MB minimum).
  6. Six PCI slots.
  7. Autosend 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T Ethernet.
  8. Ultra AXmp motherboard assembly part number, serial number, revision number (last two digits of part number), and date code (assembly period: week, year: 0798) are located on stickers on the top of the CPU Complex A Board.

CPU Module

  1. UltraSPARC I or II module part number and serial number are located on stickers on the side of the CPU module.
  2. 1, 2, 3, or 4 CPU modules can be installed.
  3. CPU modules used in a particular configuration must be the same type and have identical speed, external cache, and power.

Installing CPU Modules

Notes:

  1. With multiple CPUs, first CPU to respond to OBP probe during boot process becomes master processor for system.
  2. Fewer than four CPU modules in system, modules can be inserted into any of the four slots - there is no required slot assignment.
  3. Two CPUs in system gives better performance by installing one module into slot in CPU Complex A and the other CPU module into one of the slots in CPU Complex B.

Cooling Fans

Notes:

  1. Fans should always be on a full speed (+12V).
  2. Fans must be 12 VDC, variable speed with sensor feedback to detect a failed fan.
  3. Recommended fan is NMB: Model 4710NL-04W-B59 Rib type.
  4. Sun recommends fans to be mounted directly to Ultra AXmp motherboard assembly chassis for best cooling action.
    Caution - Fans are not included with the motherboard assembly and must be supplied by the OEM. Failure to provide adequate cooling to the CPU modules will cause damage to these CPU modules.
  5. Required fans use jumpers J1003 and J1004.
  6. Optional fans use jumpers J1005 for PCI slots and J1006 for disk drives and power supply.
