Physical Specifications

This chapter describes Sun Enterprise 10000 system components and the weights
and dimensions of the packed and unpacked processor cabinet.
3.1

System Components

The Sun Enterprise 10000 system consists of one or more air-cooled cabinets that are
configured to meet customer-specified requirements. Minimum configurations use
only one cabinet which houses system components as well as peripherals. System
components include:
System board
I
SBus boards
I
Processor modules
I
Memory SIMMs
I
Centerplane
I
Centerplane support board
I
Control board
I
Power and cooling subsystems
I
Systems that are ordered with eight or less system boards may have any
combination of boards located in the front and rear of the chassis. If the boards are
not located in just one side of the chassis, then a full complement of fans, front and
rear, are required. The number of system boards determines how many processors,
memory, and I/O modules can be configured into the system. The Dual Grid Power
option (if installed) requires 8 AC input modules and 16 power supplies.
Multiple-cabinet configurations (
cabinets. The only limiting factor for the number of peripheral cabinets is the
maximum permissible length of SCSI cabling. Peripheral cabinets house additional
I/O disk or tape subsystems. Additionally, each peripheral cabinet contains AC
distribution subsystems for use with the I/O subsystems.
