CPU/Memory+ Boards Each CPU/Memory+ board supports up to two UltraSPARC II modules and 16 DIMM slots for memory. The CPU/Memory+ board includes an Address Controller (AC+), 8 bit-sliced Data Controllers (DC+s), a Bootbus Controller (BC), on-board devices (including a flash PROM, and SRAM), two CPU processor slots, and slots for two memory banks of 8 DIMMs each.
CPU/Memory+ Board FIGURE 3-3 Caution – If a board is not immediately replaced, a filler panel must be installed in the board’s place to prevent overheating. See Section 3.2 “Filler Panels.” Sun Enterprise 3500 System Reference Manual • August 2001...
3.5.1.2 Removing a Board From a Powered-Off System 1. Use a Phillips No. 1 screwdriver to mechanically release the board from the system card cage. Insert the screwdriver into each quarter-turn access slot (the slots are located on the left and right sides of the board front panel) and then turn a quarter turn so that the arrow points to the unlocked position.
1. Carefully insert the board in the proper slot in the card cage, component side to the right, ensuring that the board does not slip out of the top and bottom card guides. All empty slots must have a filler panel installed. Sun Enterprise 3500 System Reference Manual • August 2001...
Page 41
2. Ensure that both extraction levers are in the outward position as you slide the board toward the centerplane receptacles. The board will not seat fully unless the levers are in this starting position. See on page 3-6 for positioning of the levers. FIGURE 3-3 Caution –...
The following precautions should be exercised when handling UltraSPARC II modules: UltraSPARC II modules are static-sensitive and an antistatic wrist strap field kit must be used when handling the modules. 3-10 Sun Enterprise 3500 System Reference Manual • August 2001...
Always handle the modules by the edges and not by the smaller black heat sinks that break easily if handled improperly. Do not handle the modules by touching the gold pins on the compression connectors. Natural oils on the hands cause these connectors to oxidize and corrode over a period of time, resulting in the need for module cleaning or replacement.
Memory+ board, use all CPU 0 connectors on the lowest numbered slot to the highest numbered slot. After this, if there are modules remaining, use the CPU 1 connectors in the same order. 3-12 Sun Enterprise 3500 System Reference Manual • August 2001...
Page 45
Note – Screws on the UltraSPARC II modules must be tightened to 6 inch-pounds. The torque screwdriver that came with your system is set to this specification. 1. Take the UltraSPARC II module out of the protective packaging and inspect for dust on the connectors.
Insufficient force can cause an incomplete electrical connection. Tightening Compression Bar Screws FIGURE 3-9 7. Use the procedures in Section 3.5.2 “Installing a Board,” to replace the applicable CPU/Memory+ board. 3-14 Sun Enterprise 3500 System Reference Manual • August 2001...
3.5.5 Memory Modules (DIMMs) The CPU/Memory+ board has 16 DIMM sockets, which are divided into two banks of 8 DIMMs each, bank 0 and bank 1. All DIMMs within a bank must be the same size. Bank 0 and bank 1 DIMMs occupy alternate slot locations; bank 0 DIMMs are in the even numbered slots, and bank 1 DIMMs are in odd numbered slots FIGURE 3-10 There are two types of DIMM sizes available for use: 128 Mbyte and 256 Mbyte.

3.5.5.2 Installing a Memory Module Requirements The 2 Gbyte memory option (256 MByte DIMMs) require that the system flash PROM software be 3.2.29 or compatible versions before installing memory modules. Currently, for Solaris 2.5.1 operating environments, configurations are limited to a maximum total memory of 56 Gbyte, configurations that exceed 56GByte for this version are not supported.
See Section 3.5.2 “Installing a Board.” 8. As you reboot the system, watch for the system banner to verify that the new memory is recognized by the system. Notch Orienting a DIMM FIGURE 3-12 3-18 Sun Enterprise 3500 System Reference Manual • August 2001...

Note – New system boards have square heatsinks, as depicted in this manual. All boards prior to August 1999 have round heatsinks. Note – For slot restrictions in the Sun Enterprise 6500/5500/4500 Systems, refer to the systems.corp/sunfire/configs website. Sun Enterprise 3500 System Reference Manual • August 2001...
Filler Panels All empty board slots in Enterprise 3500 systems must have a filler panel installed for cooling purposes and for EMI protection. Filler panels are inserted into a board slot with the springfingers facing to the right ( FIGURE 4-1 To remove the filler panel from the card cage, unfasten the captive screws at the top and bottom of the panel.
Caution – If the message: NOTICE: Hot Plug not supported in this system is displayed during boot, do NOT attempt hot-plug in this system or damage to the hardware will occur. Sun Enterprise 3500 System Reference Manual • August 2001...
Dynamic Reconfiguration for Hot-Pluggable System Boards If the dynamic reconfiguration feature is enabled in the operating environment, service providers can install, remove, or replace a hot-pluggable system board without powering down the system. For the Solaris 2.6, Solaris 7, and Solaris 8 Operating Environments, dynamic reconfiguration applies to specific types of boards in the Sun Enterprise 3x00.
PCI+ I/O Board FIGURE 4-5 The SBus+ I/O board with 100 MByte/second Fibre Channel includes two SYSIO ASICs that provide two SBuses: One for two plug-in SBus cards and two GBIC (100 MByte/second Fibre Channel) interfaces One for one plug-in SBus card and the onboard devices (10/100 Mbit TPE and single-ended Fast/Wide SCSI).

4.6.3 Installing a Board 4.6.3.1 Board Slot Selection Logically there is no difference between the board slots, and each slot can accept any board type. However, since the lowest numbered board slot (slot 1) is the only slot connected to the onboard SCSI devices, this slot is usually reserved for the first I/O+ board.
Page 64
Therefore, the external SCSI connector on the I/O+ board in slot 1 of a system must be terminated with a SCSI terminator. See on page 4-4. FIGURE 4-2 6. Terminate the board SCSI out connector if required. See “Note” above. 4-12 Sun Enterprise 3500 System Reference Manual • August 2001...

This chapter contains the following topics: Section 7.1 “Power Supply Types” on page 7-2 Section 7.2 “Safety Precautions” on page 7-3 Section 7.3 “Distribution”...
Distribution In the Enterprise 3500 system, there is at least one peripheral power supply and a PCM slot for each pair of board slots. There is a single alternating current (AC) power cord for the whole system. AC is then distributed to each of the PCMs within the chassis.
Peripheral Power Supply LEDs A green LED is lit on the power supply when it is operational. When a peripheral power supply fails, a yellow LED is lit on the power supply. Sun Enterprise 3500 System Reference Manual • August 2001...
7.4.2 Replacing the Peripheral Power Supply/AC (PPS 0) 1. Completely power off the Enterprise 3500 system. See the power off instructions in Chapter 11 “Powering Off and On.” 2.

PCM failure. 7.5.2 Cooling Requirements Note – In the Enterprise 3500 system, all boards must be adjacent to a PCM. The fans in the PCM cool the boards. The minimum configuration is one PCM for every two adjacent boards. The PCMs incorporate redundant bulk fan power so that the fans continue to operate in a failed power supply via the redundant fan power from the peripheral power supply.
7.5.4 Replacing a PCM Caution – Do not replace a PCM while the system is in the low-power mode. Remove and replace the PCM only in a running system. Replacing a PCM during low-power mode will cause the system to power up immediately and result in a severe overload condition for that PCM (the other PCMs will remain in the low-power mode).
Verify that the arrows in the quarter-turn access slots are turned to the unlocked position. c. Ensure that the extraction lever is in the outward, unlocked position. The power supply does not seat fully unless the lever is in the unlocked position. 7-14 Sun Enterprise 3500 System Reference Manual • August 2001...
Page 115
Caution – DO NOT FORCE the power supply into a slot. This can cause damage to the power supply and system. The power supply should insert and seat smoothly. If it binds, remove it, and inspect the slot for any obvious obstructions. Do not damage the springfingers at the bottom of the power supply.
