TABLE 3-2 FIGURE 3-7 For the Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800 systems, the top of the board is noted by the thin rail. The bottom of the board has a thicker rail. The board LEDs should be at the bottom of the handle when the board is inserted properly into the card cage for the Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800 systems.
Install the larger capacity DIMMs into banks before installing the smaller capacity DIMMs into banks. The minimum number of DIMMs you can install per CPU processor is four DIMMs or one bank. 3-12 Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 Systems Service Manual • April 2001...
If the number of CPU processors on each CPU/Memory board are the same, place DIMM banks on CPU/Memory boards that have fewer populated DIMM banks before placing DIMMs on CPU/Memory boards that already have more populated DIMM banks. If some CPU/Memory boards have more CPU processors than others, place DIMMs in DIMM banks on the board with the most CPU processors.
5. Align the short-side key on the DIMM and the long-side key on the DIMM with the short side and long side of the DIMM connector. Note – If you are installing four DIMMs, insert the DIMMs into the same bank. 3-14 Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 Systems Service Manual • April 2001...

Slots SB0, SB2, and SB4 in the Sun Fire 4810/4800 systems Slots SB0 and SB2 for the Sun Fire 3800 system 2. Requirement—For the Sun Fire 6800 system, the CPU/Memory boards are populated from left to right, beginning with SB0 and ending with SB5. For the Sun Fire 4810/4800 systems, the CPU/Memory boards are populated from left to right, beginning with SB0 and ending with SB2.
I/O Assemblies 1. Requirement—Install I/O assemblies in their designated slots: Slots IB6 – IB9 in the Sun Fire 6800 system Slots IB6 and IB8 in the Sun Fire 4810/4800/3800 systems 2. Requirement—Populate the I/O assemblies from right to left. That is, populate I/O locations IB6 and IB8 before you populate the left I/O locations, IB7 and IB9.
Note – The equivalent of two Repeater boards are integrated into the centerplane of the Sun Fire 3800 system. 2. Requirement—In the Sun Fire 6800 system, Repeater boards work in pairs, pair RP0 and RP1 and pair RP2 and RP3. A minimum of four Repeater boards must be installed.
1. Requirement —You must replace a defective fan tray assembly in order to prevent the system from overheating. 2. Requirement —The Sun Fire 6800 system needs a minimum of one fan tray in the front (FT1) and two fan trays in the rear (FT0 and FT2). The bottom CPU fan tray (FT3) is redundant and can be removed.
3. Requirement—The Sun Fire 6800 system has two power grids, grid 0 and grid 1. For the Sun Fire 6800 system, power supplies ps0, ps1, and ps2 are assigned to power grid 0, and power supplies ps3, ps4, and ps5 are assigned to power grid 1.
B.6.2 Serial Port 1. Requirement—The only serial port is on the System Controller board. The serial port connector (DB-25) allows console access from a terminal or modem. If you attach a Y serial cable to the System Controller board serial port, you will have TTYA and TTYB connections.

The I/O assembly contains I/O cards such as network cards. There are two styles of I/O assemblies: PCI and CompactPCI. There are four I/O assemblies in the Sun Fire 6800 system and two I/O assemblies in the Sun Fire 4810/4800/ 3800 systems. The Sun Fire 3800 system, which has two I/O assemblies, supports only the CompactPCI I/O assembly.

I/O assemblies together. In the Sun Fire 4800 and Sun Fire 4810 systems, you need only one Repeater board. However, in the Sun Fire 6800 system, the Repeater boards work in pairs. In the Sun Fire 3800 system, the equivalent of two Repeater boards is integrated into the active centerplane.
