    In a system with three power supplies, the third power supply is always redundant; it cannot be used to increase output capacity. Ultra Enterprise 450 Server Owner’s Guide • July 1997...
  • Page 85 Power supplies in a redundant configuration feature a “hot swap” capability. You can remove and replace a faulty power supply without turning off the system power or even shutting down the operating system. In order to determine how many power supplies are required to provide redundancy for your configuration, you must calculate the power requirements for your system.

  • Page 86: About The Standard Ethernet Port

    Ethernet wiring types. When an external transceiver is connected to the MII, the system automatically activates the MII port and disables the TPE port. Sun Microsystems offers an MII-to-AUI transceiver as a separately orderable option (order number X467A). A number of third-party MII transceivers are also available for connecting to TX, T4, FX, and AUI-type Ethernet networks.

  • Page 87: About The Serial Ports

    About the Serial Ports The system provides two serial communications ports through a single, shared DB-25 connector located on the rear panel. The primary port is capable of both synchronous and asynchronous communication, while the secondary port is asynchronous only. In synchronous mode, the primary port operates at any rate from 50 Kbaud to 256 Kbaud when the clock is generated internally.

  • Page 95: About The Scsi Removable Media Bays And The External Scsi Port

    About the SCSI Removable Media Bays and the External SCSI Port The removable media assembly located at the top front of the system provides mounting bays for two SCSI devices. The lower bay houses a SCSI 12x CD-ROM drive. The upper bay is a 5.25-inch half-height (1.6-inch) bay, which may be used for a narrow SCSI (50-pin) tape drive, such as an 8-mm tape, a 4-mm DDS-2 or DDS-3 tape, or a quarter-inch cassette tape drive.

  • Page 96: Bus Length

    Note – If you connect a narrow device to the external SCSI port, the on-board terminators only disable the termination for the lower byte of data; the upper byte is still terminated on the main logic board. Ultra Enterprise 450 Server Owner’s Guide • July 1997...
  • Page 97 Use the following cabling guidelines to ensure proper device termination: The SCSI bus must be correctly terminated. Most Sun devices use autotermination. See the documentation supplied with the device. If all external mass storage devices use 68-pin connectors, connect all non-Sun devices to the system first and Sun devices last in the chain, since Sun 68-pin devices use autotermination.
  • Page 98 If external mass storage devices consist of 68-pin devices and 50-pin devices, connect the Sun 68-pin devices to the system first and terminate the chain with a 50-pin device and its terminator. Ultra Enterprise 450 Server Owner’s Guide • July 1997...

    The scheme is sometimes called RAID-1, where RAID stands for Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks. RAID 1 offers the highest level of data protection, but storage costs are high, since all data is stored twice. Ultra Enterprise 450 Server Owner’s Guide • July 1997...

    RAID 0: Disk Striping Disk striping (sometimes called RAID-0) is a technique for increasing system throughput by using several disk drives in parallel. Whereas in non-striped disks the operating system writes a single block to a single disk, in a striped arrangement each block is divided and portions of the data are written to different disks.

Once you have write-protected a diskette, additional information cannot be saved on it. When you no longer want to protect the information on a diskette, you can change it back to write-enable status and once again write and store information on it.
