OVERVIEW
========
This primary focus of this document is to cover older Sun-badged
hardware in detail sufficient to be useful to buyers and collectors of
used Sun hardware, much of which comes without documentation. Details on
hardware commonly used with Suns, especially hardware specifically
designed for Suns, are also included where available. The focus is
generally on older equipment, since information on newer equipment is
more readily available, from Sun itself if nowhere else. In particular,
no effort is made to keep up with Sun's introduction of new SPARC
models or Mbus modules.
Note that there is no warranty of any kind on the information in this
document. It has been assembled from a variety of sources of varying
reliability. Efforts have been made to exclude information known to be
incorrect, and to include only information deemed reasonably reliable,
but there is no guarantee on any of it, especially since official Sun
documents occasionally contradict each other.
This document is copyright (c) 1995 by James W. Birdsall. You may
distribute it freely in unmodified form.
THIS DOCUMENT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. I still have a lot of
information which I have not had time to integrate yet. In addition, if
you have documentation for systems or boards not listed here, speak up!
I would really like to get ahold of an *old* Sun Field Engineer's Handbook.
Henry Bryant of Sun's Atlanta office kindly donated one that covers
Sun-3's, 386i's, and Sun-4's, but I'm still looking for an old one that
covers Sun-2's. Even the opportunity to borrow one would be appreciated.

CPU/CHASSIS
===========
For each model listed below, whatever information is available is
given, in the following order:
Processor: The microprocessor followed by its clock speed in MHz. The
floating point coprocessor (FPU), if any, followed by whatever
information is available about the MMU, including the number of hardware
contexts. Lastly, various speed ratings, as available: MIPS (Millions of
Instructions Per Second, aka Meaningless...), MFLOPS (Millions of
FLoating-point OPerations per Second), SPECmark89, and/or
SPECint92/SPECfp92/SPECintRate92/SPECfpRate92. Note that some SPARC
processors are referred to by name; information on these is available in
the "Processor Data" section.
CPU or motherboard: The Sun part number of the CPU board or
motherboard.
Chassis type: "Rackmount" chassis, as the name suggests, are designed
to fit into a standard 19" equipment rack. They usually require
clearance over and under the chassis for cooling. "Pizza box" chassis
are intended to sit on a desktop, typically underneath the monitor; they
are low, wide, and deep. Older pizza boxes (2/50, 3/75, 3/50, and 3/60)
are much wider than they are deep; newer ones are square (3/80,
SPARCstation 1, 1+, 2, etc.). Some older pizza boxes (mostly the 3/50)
have a 'dimple top', a case top with a circular depression that allows
the chassis to serve as a tilt/swivel monitor base directly. 9-slot
Multibus and 12-slot VME (and probably 6-slot VME as well) "deskside"
chassis are wide towers that must stand on the floor. 3-slot VME
"deskside" chassis can stand on the floor as narrow towers or lie on
their sides on a desktop as tallish pizza boxes. "Lunchbox" chassis are
small rectangular boxes the size of a couple large hardcover books
stacked. "Monitor" chassis (SPARCstation SLC, etc.) have the motherboard
in the back of the monitor.
Bus: Whatever bus or busses the machine has. Sun has, at various
times, used Multibus, VMEbus, ISA, SBus, Mbus, and XDBus.
Memory: The amount of physical memory the machine can take, if known,
followed by the maximum size of the machine's virtual memory space, if
known, followed by the cycle time for physical memory, if known, and
finally details of any on-chip or off-chip caches, if known. The caches
on the Motorola 68020 and 68030 and the Intel 80386 are not described,
since information on these chips is widely known. To save space, the
on-chip caches of various common SPARC processors are described in the
"Processor Data" section.
Notes: General information which does not belong under other
headings.
Not all models shown in the Announcement Date/List Price section in
the appendix are described in this section. In particular, models which
differ only in peripherals have been excluded.
Sun-1
-----
OVERVIEW
Sun-1's were the very first models ever produced by Sun. The earliest
ran Unisoft V7 UNIX; SunOS 1.x was introduced later. According to some
sources, fewer than 200 Sun-1's were ever produced; they are certainly
rare. The switch from Motorola 68000's to 68010's occurred during the
Sun-1's reign. Some models are reported to have 3Mbit Ethernet taps as
well as 10Mbit.
68000-based Sun-1's are not supported by SunOS. The last version of
SunOS to support Sun-1's may be the same as the last version to support
Sun-2's, since the 100U CPU boards are the same part.
From
[email protected] (../Steven):
[The Sun-1] did not have the DVMA of the sun-2 architecture.
There was an even earlier board that had the 68000, not the
68010. The 68000 board was licensed by Stanford to several folks
(can't recall names). The original cisco cpu was a slightly
upgraded 68000 version. Andy Bechtolsheim was using SUDS on the
triple-I in the CS Dungeon (Margaret Jacks Hall) when my boss
asked him to modify the sun board to accept 256k ram chips. I
handed Andy a pencil and the schematics and he scribbled the
mods on it. I took the mods, and with exacto knife and jumpers,
modified a sun board for the 256k chips. Len Bosack then took
the mods and relaid out the PC. That board was the first cisco
cpu, and was also produced internally to Stanford.
[...]
The original sun lacked the DVMA and thus needed Multibus
memory. Their "ar" tape controller design thus included 256k of
Multibus memory. When upgraded to a sun2, one had to switch this
ar-resident memory off since it would conflict with the DVMA
memory on the sun2 P2 (memory bus).
MODELS
Sun-1
Processor(s): 68000
Notes: Large black desktop boxes with 17" monitors.
Uses the original Stanford-designed video board
and a parallel microswitch keyboard (type 1) and
parallel mouse (Sun-1).
100
Processor(s): 68000 @ 10MHz
Bus: Multibus, serial
Notes: Uses a design similar to original SUN (Stanford
University Network) CPU. The version 1.5 CPU can
take larger RAMs.
100U
Processor(s): 68010 @ 10MHz
CPU: 501-1007
Bus: Multibus, serial
Notes: "Brain transplant" for 100 series. Replaced CPU
and memory boards with first-generation Sun-2
CPU and memory boards so original customers
could run SunOS 1.x. Still has parallel kb/mouse
interface so type 1 keyboards and Sun-1 mice
could be connected.
170
Processor(s): 68010?
Bus: Multibus?
Chassis type: rackmount
Notes: Server. Slightly different chassis design than
2/170's
Sun-2
-----
OVERVIEW
Sun-2's were introduced in the early 1980's and were Sun's first
major commercial success. While not as popular or as common as the later
Sun-3's, they did well and there are still quite a few in circulation in
the home/collector-used market.
All Sun-2's are based on the Motorola 68010 and run SunOS. The last
version of SunOS to support Sun-2's was 4.0.3. Early Sun-2's were
Multibus; later models were VME, which Sun continued to use through the
Sun-3 era and well into the Sun-4 line.
One of the hardest parts of restoring a Sun-2 is finding OS tapes for
it. The hardware is usually still in fine working order, but tapes -- if
you can even find any -- are sometimes unreadable after so many years.
See author's notes in the appendices.

board. No information on the differences between
the 2/130 and the 2/160.
Sun-3
-----
OVERVIEW
Sun switched to using the Motorola 68020 with the introduction of the
Sun-3's. A few later models had 68030's, but by that time Sun was
already moving toward SPARC processors. All models either have a 68881
or 68882 FPU installed stock or at least have a socket for one. All
models which are not in pizza box chassis are VMEbus. Two out of three
pizza box models have a "P4" connector which can take a framebuffer; the
exception is the 3/50.
Support for Sun-3's was introduced in SunOS 3.0. The last version of
SunOS to support Sun-3's was 4.1.1U1.
During the Sun-3 era, Sun introduced the handy practice of putting
the model number on the Sun badge on the front of the chassis.
There are two different kernel architectures in the Sun-3 model line.
All 68020-based models are "sun3" architecture; 68030-based models (the
3/80 and 3/4xx) are "sun3x" architecture.

Sun 386i
--------
OVERVIEW
The Sun 386i models, based on the Intel 80386 processor, were
introduced when 80386-based IBM PC/AT clones were starting to become
widespread. Intel had finally produced a chip sufficiently capable
(32-bit, among other things) to allow porting SunOS, and using an Intel
processor and an ISA bus offered the ability to run MS-DOS applications
without speed-draining emulation. Unfortunately, they were a dismal
failure.
Support for Sun-386i's was introduced in SunOS 4.0 (?). The 386i
SunOS releases came from Sun's East Coast division, so 386i SunOS was
not identical to the standard version with the same number. The last
released version of SunOS to support Sun-386i's was 4.0.2; there are a
few copies of 4.0.3Beta (with OpenLook 2.0) floating around.
MODELS
386i/150
Processor(s): 80386 @ 20MHz, 80387, 80386 on-chip MMU,

Notes: Shared code name "Roadrunner" with the /250. The
frame buffer was not on the ISA bus. 720K or
1.44M 3.5" floppy. A variant of the 150 had the
250's external cache.
386i/250
Processor(s): 80386 @ 25MHz, 80387, 80386 on-chip MMU,
5 MIPS, 0.2 MFLOPS
CPU: 501-1324/1413
Chassis type: tower
Bus: 4 32-bit slots; ISA (3 16-bit, 1 8-bit)
Memory: 16M physical, 32K cache
Notes: Shared code name "Roadrunner" with the /150. The
frame buffer was not on the ISA bus. 720K or
1.44M 3.5" floppy.
486i
Processor(s): 80486
Notes: Code-named "Apache". A very limited quantity of
these were supposedly built and shipped to
customers just before the Intel-based line was
cancelled.
Sun-4/SPARCstation/SPARCserver/SPARCwhatever
--------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
These machines were initially introduced with model designations in
the same pattern as previous lines: Sun 4/xxx. However, for marketing
purposes, Sun departed from their classic naming scheme with the name
SPARCstation, and has since experimented with alphabetic designations
(e.g. "SPARCstation SLC") before returning to numbered SPARCstations.
Until the SPARCstation 10, however, every model still had a 4/xxx
designation as well, which is displayed by the ROM monitor during
power-up and used by much of Sun's documentation.
This model line marks the introduction of Sun's own RISC chip, the
SPARC. There have been a number of different implementations of the chip
from various manufacturers, with varying degrees of hardware support for
the instruction set.
Support for Sun-4's was introduced in SunOS 4.0, although there was a
special variant of SunOS 3.2 for Sun-4's which was shipped with some
very early units. Since this product line is still current, it is still
in general supported by SunOS, which has mutated to become part of
Solaris. Support for some earlier models has been dropped, and some
later models require at least 4.0.3c, 4.1.1, or Solaris 2.x.
Some of the later models have pictures silkscreened on their CPU
boards.
Note that MIP/GIP ratings for later models are even more suspicious
than usual for benchmarks.
There are several kernel architectures in the Sun-4 model line. Where
known, the architecture for each model is listed.

Notes: First desktop-able SPARC. CPU doesn't support
VME busmaster cards (insufficient room on CPU
board for full VME bus interface), so DMA disk
and tape boards won't work with it. Originally
intended as single-board machine, although there
are a few slave-only VME boards (such as the
ALM-2 and second ethernet controller) which work
with it. Onboard SCSI, two serial ports,
Ethernet, keyboard/mouse. "P4" frame buffer
could be monochrome or color. Used static column
RAM rather than a conventional cache. Code-named
"Cobra". CPUs 501-1199/1462/1464/1512/1514/1516/
1656/1658/1660 do not have an FPU; 501-1237/
1463/1465/1513/1515/1517/1657/1659/1661 have an

SPARC register overview
From John Cheshire (
[email protected]):
SPARC registers can be divided into two general classifications:
working registers and control/status registers. Working registers
are those used for data and addressing operations. They are called
r-registers in the integer unit (IU), or f-registers in the
floating-point unit. The various control/status registers record
status or control the state of a processor or memory management unit
(MMU).
The 136 r-registers of the integer unit are divided into eight
register windows. The 32 f-registers of the floating-point unit are
a directly addressed register file (referred to as freg0...freg31).
All registers for SPARC are 32 bits in length, although
floating-point double-precision instructions allow an adjacent and
aligned floating-point data register pair to be accessed as a single
64-bit register. Also note that while all control registers are
32 bits in length, some of the bit fields may be designated as
reserved. Reserved bits are non-writable, and are returned as zero
when when the register is read. It is good programming practice to
write zeros into a reserved bit field when writing to a control
register of this type. This practice avoids upgrade problems with
later hardware versions.
The 136 r-registers of the [Ross] RT620 are 32 bits wide and are
divided into a set of 128 window registers and a set of eight global
registers. The 128 window registers are grouped into eight sets of
24 r-registers called windows. One of these eight windows is
selected by setting the Current Window Pointer (CWP), a 5-bit field
in the processor state register (PSR). Within each window, the
programmer can directly access 24 windowed r-registers by register
number. The eight global registers may be accessed regardless of the
window selected by the CWP.
Register Alternate Register
Number Register Number Group Name
-------- --------------- ----------
r[24] to r[31] i[0] to i[7] ins
r[16] to r[23] l[0] to l[7] locals
r[8] to r[15] o[0] to o[7] outs
r[0] to r[7] g[0] to g[7] globals
The windowed register file is implemented as a circular stack, with
the highest numbered window joined to the lowest. For the eight
windows implemented in SPARC, window 7 adjoins window 0.
Note that each window shares its ins and outs with adjacent windows.
Outs from a previous window (CWP+1) are the ins of the current
window, and the outs of the current window are the ins of the next
window (CWP-1). While only adjacent windows share ins and outs,
globals are shared by all windows. A window's locals, on the other
hand, are not shared at all, belonging only to that window.
An alternative approach to understanding SPARC window registers is
to note that the Current Window Pointer (CWP) acts as an index
pointer within the stack of 128 window registers. Changing the
Current Window Pointer by one offsets the r-register addressing by
16. Since 24 r-registers can be addressed with each CWP value,
incrementing or decrementing the CWP results in an eight register
overlap in register addressing. This overlap of window register
addressing creates the in-out feature of the windowed registers.
After power-on reset, the state of the Current Window Pointer and
the window invalid mask (WIM) register are undefined. The power-on
reset trap routine must initialize the CWP and WIM register for
correct operation.
In addition to the 136 r-registers, SPARC defines a set of 32-bit
floating point data registers, referred to as f-registers. The
[Ross] RT620 fp register files each provide a set of 32 f-registers.
These registers can be accessed as 32 registers containing single
precision (32-bit) data types or as 16 pairs of registers containing
double precision (64-bit) data types. Double precision pairs are
always addressed as adjacent even-odd registers.

ROM Monitors
------------
Sun-2's sported a rather primitive monitor; with each succeeding
model line, it has become more powerful. In all models, the machine
enters the ROM monitor upon power up. The monitor tries to boot from a
default device, which may be determined by a simple priority-ordered
search for boot devices (Sun-2) and/or by EEPROM settings (Sun-3 and
later). If it cannot find a boot device or the boot device is offline,
it enters command-line mode. Command-line mode may be manually invoked
at any time, including while the OS is running, by holding down L1 and
then pressing A on a Sun console, or sending BREAK if you are using a
terminal as the console. On all models, the "c" (continue) command
resumes execution at the point where the monitor was entered, so you can
recover from accidentally halting the OS. Note that if you are using a
terminal as the console, turning it off or disconnecting it is usually
interpreted as BREAK and halts the machine.
Note that the ROM monitor in a machine may or may not know about any
particular color framebuffer, depending on the revision of the ROM and
the age of the framebuffer standard. If the ROM does not know how to
detect and display on the particular color framebuffer you have
installed, it will be unable to display the normal ROM boot messages.
This does not affect OS support for the framebuffer; if you are willing
to boot blind, SunOS should find the framebuffer and start displaying on
it normally. The alternative is to get a more recent ROM or a different
framebuffer.
SUN-1
No information. The 100U used a Sun-2 CPU (the same one used in early
2/120 units), so it had a Sun-2 ROM monitor.
SUN-2
The ROM monitor in at least the 2/120 and 2/170 (and probably all
other Sun-2 models) is capable of booting and performing some memory and
register operations, but not much more. There is no online help or
diagnostics.
The boot command is of the form "b dd(x,y,z) args" where "dd" is a
device string, "x" is the controller number, "y" is the unit number (?),
"z" is the partition number, and "args" are optional arguments to the
kernel. "dd" may be sd (SCSI disk), st (SCSI tape), xy (Xylogics SMD
controller), ie (Sun Ethernet board), or ec (3Com Ethernet board), and
probably others (mt?). For example, to boot from the first partition on
the first SCSI disk on the first SCSI controller (a common
configuration), the command would be "b sd(0,0,0)". To boot from the
first partition on the second SMD disk on the first SMD controller (a
configuration I have), the command would be "b xy(0,1,0)". To boot from
the fourth file on the first SCSI tape drive on the first SCSI
controller (booting from the n'th file may be required during OS
installation), the command would be "b st(0,0,3)".
Note that the ROM monitor makes certain assumptions about SCSI IDs --
the tape drive is actually at SCSI ID 4, but is referred to as tape unit
0. By default ("b"), the ROM monitor tries to boot from (0,0,0) on the
highest-priority bootable device that it can find in the machine's
slots; the priority order is xy, sd, and ie/ec (don't know which has
priority over the other). It never boots from tape by default. There may
be other bootable devices, but I have never seen them.
Also note that for at least some versions of SunOS, "args" is not
actually passed to the kernel. The "b" command reads a tiny bootstrap
from the indicated device. The bootstrap then automatically continues
the boot from the same device, ignoring "args". The only way I have
found to actually pass arguments such as the single-user flag (-s) to
the kernel is to use the bootstrap program on the OS tapes, which gives
a prompt rather than continuing automatically. At that prompt, entering
the device information followed by the arguments (e.g. "xy(0,1,0) -s")
will actually get the arguments passed to the kernel.
SUN-3
The Sun-3 ROM monitor is much more sophisticated. Entering "?" will
produce a list of commands with brief explanations and syntax. The ROM
contains diagnostics sufficient for a preliminary checkout of a machine
for which you do not have a boot device. Syntax of the boot command is
largely the same as for Sun-2's, with a few differences: the hardware
search for a boot device may be overridden by EEPROM settings which
direct the machine to always boot from a particular device; on machines
with a Lance Ethernet chip rather than Intel, the Ethernet device is le
rather than ie; and "args" is passed to the kernel correctly (actually,
this appears to be a difference between SunOS 3.x and SunOS 4.x rather
than a ROM difference).
Sun-3 boot ROM versions 3.x are actually a step backward in some
ways. They can boot from more devices (QIC-150 tapes, possibly CD-ROMs)
but the online help and most of the diagnostic tests were removed,
probably because the ROM space was needed for new boot code.
SUN-386i
No information.
SUN-4
The Sun-4 ROM monitor is vastly more sophisticated than even the
Sun-3 version. It has two different command-line modes. The old mode, in
the style of earlier monitors, can do exactly three things: boot (using
the old-style syntax), continue execution, or switch to new command-line
mode.
New mode uses "ok" for a prompt. Help may be obtained by typing
"help". It has a built-in command-line editor, and (at least in newer
versions) a Forth interpreter (I haven't seen any sign of one on my SLC
but I wouldn't know how to look, either). You can boot either using
the old-style syntax or by specifying a type of device ("boot disk",
"boot tape", etc.). EEPROM configuration is through "printenv" and
"setenv", which use names rather than addresses. Good help is available
for most commands, and there are a lot of commands, encompassing all the
functionality available in earlier monitors and adding helpful new
features, such as "probe-scsi", which searches the SCSI bus and prints
out the ID, LUN, device type, and identification string for anything it
finds.
EEPROM/NVRAM Parameters

Every Sun-3, Sun386i, and Sun-4/SPARCstation has EEPROM or NVRAM on
the CPU board which retains settings for various things the ROM monitor

HOSTID and IDPROM/NVRAM
-----------------------
For more information, check out the files listed in Q&A #3-4, but
here is a fast list of HOSTIDs and chip locations.
The IDPROM or NVRAM contains a variety of important information,
including a machine-type code and the machine serial number. Note that
because of the machine-type code, IDPROMs and NVRAMs can only be swapped
between machines with the same CPU board type. (For example, swapping
between a 3/75 and a 3/180 should work because they both use the
"Carrera" 3004 CPU, but it wouldn't work in a 3/60, which uses a
different CPU.)
On Sun-3's, 386i's, and early Sun-4's, the IDPROM has a printed label
which indicates the machine type and the serial number as well.

Note that many of the later models (4/10/15/30, SPARCserver 1000,
SPARCcenter 2000) use the same machine-type code.
Note that the EEPROM for the SPARCserver 1000 and SPARCcenter 2000 is
soldered to the "Control Board".
Using a Terminal as Console
---------------------------
Every Sun model has the ability to use a serial terminal as a
console, instead of a Sun framebuffer and keyboard. In general, machines
which have a removeable framebuffer (on a separate board rather than
built into the CPU board/motherboard) require that the framebuffer be
removed; the ROM monitor notes the absence of a framebuffer and sends
output to the first serial port on the CPU board (usually labelled
serial port A and known to the operation system as /dev/ttya), and the
OS does the same when booted. Machines which do not have a removeable
framebuffer may switch to terminal mode when the keyboard is not
connected, or may require that the console designator in the EEPROM be
changed. For the latter, those which have NORM/DIAG switches can be
temporarily forced to use a terminal by powering up with the switch in
the DIAG position. From there, you can break out of the diagnostics and
use the ROM monitor command line to change the console designator in the
EEPROM.
The Sun 2/120 and 2/170 have an unusual configuration: the keyboard
and mouse connect to the framebuffer board rather than the CPU. If the
framebuffer board is removed, all input and output goes to ttya, as
might be expected. If a framebuffer is present but no keyboard is
connected, output goes to the framebuffer, but input comes from ttya.
Terminals should be set for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, one stop bit, and
no parity. The Sun 3/260 and 3/280 support the usual connection on ttya,
but can also support a console terminal at 1200 bps on the second serial
port on the CPU board, ttyb.
The equivalent of L1-A (halt machine, drop to ROM monitor) from a
terminal console is BREAK. Unfortunately, turning off the terminal or
disconnecting it is usually interpreted as a BREAK and halts the
machine. Thus, it is not easily possible to turn off the terminal when
the console is not in use, or to use one terminal with many machines via
a switchbox. Suggested solutions include a special cable (on a 4/2xx
CPU, a 4.7K resistor between pins 3 and 25 may work) or modifying the
SunOS serial driver (zs) to ignore breaks.
Memory Display On Startup
-------------------------
One of the points which causes much confusion is the startup display
of how much memory is installed versus how much is being tested.
As with most subjects, little is known about what the Sun-1's
displayed, except the 100U which used a Sun-2 CPU.
The Sun 2/120, 2/170, and probably all other Sun-2 models simply
display the amount of memory installed. If the ROM monitor sees the
memory, SunOS should see it as well, and if the ROM monitor does not see
it, SunOS is most unlikely to see it either. All memory is tested, but
there are no displays to that effect unless an error is found. (Note
that installing memory boards set to overlapping address ranges causes
errors.)
With the Sun-3's, the ability to set how much memory would be tested
on startup was added; it is stored in the EEPROM along with a variety of
other settings. The total amount of memory installed is displayed, on
one of the first lines printed (in the same area as ROM revision, serial
number, etc.), but the line stating how much memory is being tested is
much more conspicuous. The amount of memory tested is not automatically
increased when more memory is installed, which frequently leads to dismay
by the installer when the machine apparently does not recognize the
memory just installed. Sun-4's behave the same way.
SunOS does not care how much memory was tested. It will use however
much is installed. As with the Sun-2's, if the ROM monitor sees the
memory, SunOS should see it as well, and if the ROM monitor does not see
it, SunOS is most unlikely to see it either.

28) My SPARCstation 10 says "Data Access Error" and chokes when
cold-booting, but typing "boot" at the ROM monitor prompt works.
What?
29) Why can't I get my Fast Ethernet SBus card from Sun to work?
30) I have a disk for which there is no entry in format.dat. Does
anybody have an entry I can use?
31) I just added some SIMMs, and now I'm getting odd DMA errors and/or
Ethernet problems. What?
32) Should internal SCSI drives be terminated?
1) I can't get anything out of the onboard SX video port on my
SPARCstation 20.
To use the onboard SX video, you need a VSIMM. This is an
extra-long SIMM that sits in one of the two dual-ported memory
slots. If you do not have a VSIMM, the onboard SX video will not
work. If you did not buy the machine in an SX configuration, it
did not come with a VSIMM. You can order one separately to
enable the onboard SX video.
2) Why doesn't my old SBus card fit the slot in my newer machine, or
vice versa?
From Chuck Narad:
In SBus rev A, the cards were designed to snap into place in the
SS1 enclosure. Later, before the spec went big time (before the
IEEE standard), we decided to make SBus fit into other
environments such as VME card spacing (as was done on the
600MP). For reasons of card pitch and RFI compliance the
backplate needed to be shorter, since the originators of the
spec hadn't thought about how to do this; for SS1/SS2
compatibility the snap-in 'ears' needed to be maintained. We
ended up with a 2-piece backplate where the 'ears' were a
removable part, and the screw-holes could be used to mount the
card in systems that did not use the ears.
This decision took over a year and cost thousands of lives :-)
This two-piece backplate was finalized quite a while ago, and
made it into SBus rev B.0. Unfortunately many third-party
vendors continued to make older, rev-A backplates for a couple
years after the change was announced and broadcast in such
places as the SBus spec, the SBus bulletin, newsgroups, etc.
Also unfortunately, there was a significant number of old-style
cards shipped by Sun by that time; the hope was that few
customers actually moved cards from one system to another, and
the volumes of new cards swamped the volumes of old cards
quickly. The theory was that all bus standards go through a
'shake-down cruise' in their first incarnations, and repairs to
early decisions sometimes leave incompatibilities with older
parts (examples include VME, SCSI, Multibus... you get the
picture). SBus ended up being used in a much wider range of
machines than it was originally intended for.
Later, the mechanical team on the SS10 decided to take advantage
of the removable ears for various reasons, so in that enclosure
also the older cards won't fit.
Now the good news; as long as you don't care about minor RFI
leakeage, you can just cut off the ears on the old card with a
pair of diagonal cutters, and the card will fit into the slot
fine, you just can't use screws to secure it.
3) My IDPROM/NVRAM just died. What can I do?
4) Where can I get information about the IDPROM/NVRAM?
There is some information in the HOSTID and IDPROM/NVRAM section
above. For more, get eeprom-nvram.faq and nvram.faq from
ftp.netcom.com, in directory /pub/he/henderso.
5) Why doesn't my new monochrome monitor work with older monochrome
framebuffers (especially the GX), or vice versa?
5a) My machine won't boot with the monochrome monitor connected. What?
Older monochrome framebuffers and monitors used a 66Hz vertical
refresh rate. Newer units use a 76Hz vertical refresh rate. The
GX framebuffers straddle the two: the dual-slot version does not
support 76Hz vertical refresh, but the single-slot version does
(except possibly for very early versions). The most common
problem is that the machine won't boot with the monitor
connected, but boots and displays properly if the monitor is
connected about sixty seconds after power-up.
An additional gotcha is that older monochrome monitors (up
through about the SPARCstation 1) used a digital signal with ECL
levels and a DB9 connector. Since then, monochrome
configurations have usually been grayscale monitors connected to
a monochrome framebuffer with analog outputs and a 13W3
connector.
6) There is a battery on my VME SCSI host adapter board. What's it for?
It powers a time-of-day clock chip which is not used by Sun-3's.
Supposedly some of the VME-based Sun-2's did not have a realtime
clock.
7) Can I run my old, slow SCSI drives on a new machine with fast SCSI?
Yes. You may get a lot of SCSI errors. While the SCSI controller
is compatible with the older drives, the cables and termination
are frequently a problem. Cables should be short and of high
quality, and the termination active. Olders Sun external
enclosures don't have suitable cabling and termination.
8) Can I use a type-4 or type-5 keyboard on a Sun-3 that normally takes
a type-3 keyboard?
Yes. The cable/adapter is sold by Sun (P/N 530-1478 or
530-1479), Sun refurbisher Apex, and possibly others; Sun-3's
manufactured toward the end came new with type-4 keyboards and
the appropriate adapter.
9) I have a VME-based CPU but not the matching chassis. Can I put it in
some other Sun VME chassis?
In general, yes. CPU boards which have onboard memory can be put
in just about any chassis, including the 3/50 and 3/60 chassis,
which don't have a full set of VME connectors -- they only have
the power connector! CPU boards which require external memory
boards (such as the 3/2xx) obviously require a chassis with at
least two slots and a full set of VME connectors.
With some chassis, there may be problems with lacking voltages.
One individual reports that a 4/3xx CPU works in a 3/60 chassis,
except the lack of -12VDC means "we can't use a console on it."
It is also possible to make multiple CPUs share a VME chassis.
This is trickier. It requires isolating sections of the bus, and
being sure not to stomp on specialized slots used for memory or
SCSI boards.
Since 3/50 and 3/60 motherboards only use the VME bus for power
they can share a VME chassis with anything, in any slot.
10) What's the situation with the 4/6xx and Solaris 1.x/2.x?
From Greg Elkinbard:
SuperSPARC Rev 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 require patches:
Solaris 1.1 - 101508, 101509
Solaris 1.1.1_U1 - 101726, 101408
Solaris 2.3 - 101318, 101406
If you have Rev 3.5 or Rev 5.x then you should disable 101509,
101408, 101406
Rev 3.5 is compatible with Solaris 1.1, 1.1.1B, 2.3 do not use
it with 1.1.1A (4.1.3_U1)

SM520 - 501-2444 - rev 3.x
SM521 - 501-2445 - rev 3.x
Field service manual states that minimum OS for SM520 and SM521
is 2.3, this leads me to believe that 1.x will not support
Viking MP reliably (i.e use it at your own risk)
From the FE manual:

11) Can I use a non-Sun CD-ROM drive? Will I be able to boot from it?
12) Can I use a Sun CD-ROM drive on some other computer?
The "CD-ROMs on Sun Hardware FAQ" was maintained by Kyle Downey.
You should still be able to get it from
ftp://student_96kfd.williams.edu/pub/faq/sun-info/sun-cd-faq. In
general, the answer is "maybe, and possibly only after modifying
the drive or the kernel."
13) What's the maximum DVMA burst size for various SBus machines?
This is a very complicated question. The SBus controller is
probably capable of handling any burst size; the limiting factor is
usually the slave interface to main memory. The SPARCstation 2
and microSPARC-based machines were supposedly limited to 16-byte
bursts (one individual reports that, using an SBus card with
programmable burst sizes, he was able to successfully use
64-byte bursts to main memory). MicroSPARC II-based machines and
Mbus machines supposedly could do 32-byte bursts, and the
SPARCserver 1000 and SPARCcenter 2000 supposedly can do full
64-byte bursts. The SPARCstation 20 models with 64-bit SBuses
can do 128-byte bursts, although there are not many 64-bit SBus
cards to take advantage of it yet.
14) I occasionally get strange SCSI errors and other disk flakiness with
the internal drives on my 3/80.
The SCSI bus is routed internally to three locations (two disk
connectors and the external connector), which sometimes causes
problems. According to one report, a Sun "in-line" SCSI
terminator on one of the internal disk connectors will solve the
problem.
15) Can I put 4M SIMMs in my 3/80?
If you have version 3.0.2 or better of the boot ROMs, yes. The
version is displayed in the startup messages immediately after
powering the machine on. You can install up to 40M of memory by
putting 4M 80ns SIMMs in banks 0 and 1 or 2 (sorry, not clear
which it should be), and filling the remaining two banks with 1M
80ns SIMMs.
Note that ROM version 3.0.2 has known problems with booting from
QIC-150 tape drives.
16) Can I put two 36MHz Mbus modules in my SPARCstation 10/30?
16a)What are the limitations on mixing Mbus modules in a single machine?
From John DiMarco:
There is no intrinsic technical reason why a 36MHz Mbus can't
support two modules. While it is true that you cannot normally
configure a system to support two M30 modules, the reason for
this is that early revisions of the SuperSPARC processor
contained bugs that prevented MP configurations from working
properly without the 1M external cache. Most if not all M20
(33MHz) and M30 (36MHz) modules, and many M40 (40MHz) modules
had this problem.
In general, if you want to mix and match modules (which is
unsupported but probably works for a number of configurations),
you'll need to make sure that the interface speeds of all
modules are matched.
The modules without SuperCACHE run at the Mbus speed (or the
Mbus runs at their speed?), so modules without SuperCACHE cannot
be mixed. Nor can they be mixed with modules with SuperCACHE.
Modules with SuperCACHE can be mixed, but this may not be
advisable. The 41 and 51 modules both require a 40MHz Mbus (SS10
or SS20 switched to slow board speed), but the 61 can use a
50MHz Mbus as well. Mixing a 61 with slower modules may slow
down the 61 as well.
Another consideration is that slower modules are usually older
SuperSPARC steppings that may require more drastic workarounds
and hence slow down newer, faster processors -- assuming it
works at all.
17) My Sun doesn't like 3-chip SIMMs.
From John O'Connor:
3-chip SIMMs have two 4Mbit chips (organised as 1M * 4bits) plus
one 1Mbit chip as opposed to the nine 1Mbit chips on the 9-chip
SIMMS. The difference arises from the fact that the 4Mbit chips
require more addresses to be read in the refresh cycles, so you
get unreliable operation of 3-chip SIMMs in systems that don't
provide enough refresh cycles.
18) My SPARCstation 1/1+ says "The SCSI bus is hung. Perhaps an external
device is turned off." when I try to boot, or it locks up completely
after displaying the banner. What do I do?
Check the SCSI termination fuse, located on the motherboard near
the external SCSI connector. The fuse looks like a small
cylinder that is usually clear or totally black with a black top
and white writing. It is in a socket and is easy to remove. If
adding an external device that powers its own terminator makes
the machine work, the problem is definitely the termination
fuse.
It may also be necessary to change the settings on the disk
drive, to spin up on command only and not by default. Also, the
FE manual notes that for SPARCstation 1's with motherboards
501-1382-10 or lower, or 501-1629-10 or lower, one should power
on the system before turning on external disk drives.
19) My SPARCstation IPC chokes with "panic: mmp_getpmg" when booting.
What do I do?
This may have to do with mixed 1M and 4M SIMMs. Make sure the 4M
SIMMs are in the first memory bank. This problem was supposed to
be solved after SunOS 4.1.1.
Alain Brossard reports that a few very old IPC's experience the
this failure when booting over the network, and the following
incantation at the ROM monitor prompt fixed the problem:
ok 7f fff0.0000 smap!
ok boot net
20) I have some old SMD drives and controllers and/or a 9-track tape
drive. Can I still use them with newer machines and OS versions?
SMD support is limited to VME-based machines, of which the 4/6xx
is the most recent. Stock SunOS and Solaris support these
devices on the sun4 architecture (all VME-based sun-4's except
the 4/6xx) but not on the sun4m architecture (the 4/6xx). It is
available for the 4/6xx as a special package, however.
21) My Sun-3 won't boot from a SCSI disk, but when I hook the disk up
to another machine or boot from another disk, it works fine. What?
21a)My Sun-4 won't boot from a SCSI disk, but...
SunOS can use SCSI disks with SCSI parity turned on, but in
general Sun-3's can't boot from them, although there are reports
that certain model/boot ROM versions can (3/60 with > 2.9).
Sun-4's apparently can boot from disks with parity turned on.
Check the jumpers on the drive or the SCSI converter card
(Emulex MD-21, Adaptec ACB4000, etc.).
For a Sun-4, the problem may also be that the drive is
initiating synchronous negotiation. The boot ROMs can't cope
with this; they expect the kernel to initiate synchronous
negotiation after booting. Check the jumpers on the drive.
22) I'm getting "timeout" and "disk not responding to selection" errors
with a brand-new SCSI disk.
Check the temperature in the disk enclosure! Many newer SCSI
drives (especially Seagate, apparently) have the ability to spin
down and otherwise quiesce when the drive gets too hot. When the
drive it accessed, it will spin up again, but this takes some
time and the Sun usually complains before the disk can respond.
23) I have a SunOS CD-ROM with sun3 and/or sun3x versions of the OS on
it. Can I boot my Sun-3 from this CD-ROM?
Supposedly ROM versions 3.0.1 and above can boot from a CD-ROM.
Make sure that you're trying to boot from the correct partition
(these CD-ROMs usually have bootable partitions for a variety of
architectures). Try booting from "sd(0,30,x)" where 'x' is a
partition number.
24) I have a SunPC Accelerator card with an Intel 486DX on it. Can I use
one of the DX2/DX4 replacement chips?
Only 5V chips can be used. The SBus provides sufficient power,
but cooling may be a problem. Adding a heat sink and microfan to
the new chip will probably solve that problem, but may interfere
with the next SBus slot.
25) Can I set the stock serial ports to rates higher than 38400?
Yes, but you have to hack the kernel in order to do it.
Furthermore, the standard ZS hardware is not capable of
supporting the normal bit rates (57600 and 115200) unless you
can supply an external clock and run them in synchronous mode.
The only higher internally-generated rates are 51200 (pretty
useless) and 76800, which a few modems can be set to handle.
Also, the 76800 rate will result in frequent overruns unless it
is being used for pure output, such as to a printer.
26) Can I get an ergonomic keyboard for my Sun? A trackball?
Ren Tescher (
[email protected]) maintains an unofficial trackball
FAQ. See also the "Alternatives" sections under KEYBOARDS and
MICE in this reference. And check:
http://www.cs.princeton.edu/grad/dwallach/tifaq/keyboards.html
27) What's this 80-pin SCSI connector?
It is an SCA connector, as defined by the Small Form Factor
Committee, which provides a wide single-ended SCSI connection
and power (+12V, +5V). The standard number is SFF8015 23A.
28) My SPARCstation 10 says "Data Access Error" and chokes when
cold-booting, but typing "boot" at the ROM monitor prompt works.
What?
Paul J. Grillo reports that this usually means that the boot ROM
can't find the boot block on the disk, possibly because there
has not been enough time for the disk to spin up yet (and by the
time the user does a manual boot, the disk is up and running, so
the machine boots normally).
29) Why can't I get my Fast Ethernet SBus card from Sun to work?
With SunOS 4.1.3 or higher, the boot ROM revision must be 2.3 or
higher, the network must not use trailers, the card cannot be in
an SBus expansion chassis, and it is only supported in
sun4m-architecture machines.
These cards are also supported by Solaris 2.3 Hardware 5/94 and
later Solaris revisions. The same restrictions apply, but
support has been added for the SPARCstation 2, IPX, SPARCserver
1000, and SPARCcenter 2000.
30) I have a disk for which there is no entry in format.dat. Does
anybody have an entry I can use?
There is an extended format.dat available at:
ftp://ftp.cdf.toronto.edu/pub/sun-managers/format.dat.
31) I just added some SIMMs, and now I'm getting odd DMA errors and/or
Ethernet problems. What?
Evidently there are some SIMMs out there now which do not
actually store parity bits, but rather calculate them on the
fly. It is, I guess, cheaper, but obviously not much use for
error detection, and causes major problems for systems which use
those extra bits for things other than parity, as apparently
some Sun systems do. The problem arises when these
"logic-parity" SIMMs are sold as ordinary parity SIMMs...
From Vaughan Pratt:
I had bought 1x36's from NCA before that worked fine in a batch
of 7 SLCs [...] Satisfied that NCA's SIMMs worked in SLCs, I
bought some more. The second batch of 1x36's caused occasional
DMA and ethernet problems, which were hard to diagnose. A disk
had previously been giving trouble, and I wasted a lot of time
thinking that the disk was the problem before getting suspicious
about an ethernet slowdown and finally tracking the problem down
to the RAM.
The attitude at NCA Palo Alto was that the two chip types were
both 1x36 and were interchangeable. They seem completely
oblivious to the fact that one type is only 1x32 plus faked or
logic parity.
32) Should internal SCSI drives be terminated?
It depends. For older systems (Sun-2's and Sun-3's except the
3/80, non-desktop SPARCs), the only difference between internal
drives and external drives is which way the cables go. They
should be terminated as normal for SCSI.
For the 3/80 and desktop SPARCs (SPARCstation 1, 1+, 2, 4, 5,
10, 20, IPC, IPX, etc.), there is some confusion. In some cases,
SCSI terminating resistors are present on the motherboard
itself, and internal drives are regarded as being close enough
to that terminator not to need their own terminators. In other
cases, there may be a terminating feedthrough connector in-line
with a drive. Or none of the above may be present.

SIMM Compatibility Chart
------------------------
These charts mostly come from the 12/15/93 Field Engineer manual. An
'x' means that the indicated SIMM was available from Sun installed or as an
option for the machine shown. An 's' means that the SIMM was tested and
supported by Sun in the machine shown.
The 'B' column is bits, 'P' is pins, and 'S' is speed, in

This section covers the various circuit boards which make up or are
used with Sun systems. This includes: CPU boards/motherboards; memory
boards; video boards and video accelerator boards; SCSI controller
boards; non-SCSI disk controller boards such as SMD and IPI controllers
and boards used to connect non-SCSI disks to SCSI busses; non-SCSI tape
controller boards such as those used with 9-track tapes; Ethernet boards
(boards for systems where Ethernet is not integrated into the
CPU/motherboard and boards providing second, third, etc. network
connections for systems with integrated Ethernet) and boards for other
networks such as Token-Ring and FDDI; communication boards, including
serial, parallel, synchronous, and X.25 boards; floating-point and other
system accelerator boards; cardcage backplanes; and boards not covered
by the categories above. The first subsection is a brief listing of
boards described in the rest of this section, sorted by bus type
(Multibus, VME, P4, ISA, SBus, MBus, XDBus, SCSI, None, Unknown).

CPU boards/motherboards
-----------------------
501-1007(-04 to -08) 100U,2/120,2/170 CPU Multibus
10MHz 68010, no floating point chip, MMU, no on-board memory.
Multibus interface.
The CPU board is entirely concealed within the chassis. On one
long edge, it has Multibus card-edge connectors. On the other
long edge, from top to bottom, it has: a header connector for the
Sun-1 parallel keyboard and mouse, eight LEDs, and a 50-pin header
connector (J1) for two serial ports.
The LEDs display the usual sort of test cycling at power-up.
Unlike later models, they do not simply blink or cylon while the
OS is running; instead, they display all sorts of patterns,
possibly in response to bus activity (?).
Jumper information:
J200 Crystal shunt JUMPED by default
Located by crystal at D1.
Removed for A.T.E. testing, installed for normal operation.
J400 EPROM select JUMPED by default
Located by EPROMs at D10.
1-2 selects 27128 EPROMs (default)
3-4 selects 27256 EPROMs
J700 Bus priority on serial arbitration UNJUMPED by default
Located by bus connectors.
J701 Common bus request arbiter UNJUMPED by default
Located by bus connectors.
If the CPU board is used in conjunction with a Multibus DMA
board (such as a disk or tape controller) that does NOT
support the Common Bus Request (CBRQ), the CPU board must be
configured such that it gives up the Multibus after every
Multibus cycle, by jumping J701. This also causes three
additional wait states for each Multibus access. When this
jumper is unjumped, the CPU board retains bus mastership until
a lower priority master requests it by asserting CBRQ.
Following a CBRQ, the CPU board yields mastership for at least
one cycle. Certain machine configurations (especially those
with color) will be much slower if this jumper is jumped.
J702 Enables the CCLK on P1 JUMPED by default
Located by bus connectors.
J703 Enables the BCLK on P1 JUMPED by default

The two serial ports on J1 are usually labelled SIO-A and SIO-B
on the back of the machine and appear as /dev/ttya and /dev/ttyb
under SunOS. The documented maximum output speed is 19200 bps.
All ports are wired DTE and are compatible with both RS-232C and
RS-423, using Zilog Z8530A dual UART chips. The pinout of J1 is:

501-1051 2/120,2/170 CPU Multibus
10MHz 68010, no floating point chip, MMU, no on-board memory.
Multibus interface.
The CPU board is entirely concealed within the chassis. On one
long edge, it has Multibus card-edge connectors. On the other
long edge, from top to bottom, it has: a header connector for the
Sun-1 parallel keyboard and mouse, eight LEDs, and a 50-pin header
connector (J1) for two serial ports.
Jumper information:
J100
Sixteen pins, hardwired. All unjumped by default.
J102
1-2 Connects -5V to P1 -5V (default)
3-4 Connects -5V to regulator
J200 Crystal shunt JUMPED by default
Removed for A.T.E. testing, installed for normal operation.
J400
1-2 selects 27128 EPROMs (default)
3-4 selects 27256 EPROMs
J700
1-2 CPU drives P1 reset (jumped by default)
3-4 P1 INT drives CPU reset (unjumped by default)
5-6 serial arbiter enable (unjumped by default)
7-8 arbiter bus config select (unjumped by default)
If the CPU board is used in conjunction with a
Multibus DMA board (such as a disk or tape controller)
that does NOT support the Common Bus Request (CBRQ),
the CPU board must be configured such that it gives up
the Multibus after every Multibus cycle, by jumping
this jumper. This also causes three additional wait
states for each Multibus access. When this jumper is
unjumped, the CPU board retains bus mastership until a
lower priority master requests it by asserting CBRQ.
Following a CBRQ, the CPU board yields mastership for
at least one cycle. Certain machine configurations
(especially those with color) will be much slower if
this jumper is jumped.
J701
1-2 CPU drives P1 BCLK (jumped by default)
3-4 CPU drives P1 CCLK (jumped by default)
J801
Not used, unjumped by default.

is 501-1100-06 or 501-1206-06.
Power requirements are +5V @ 22.5A and -5V @ 0.6A.
501-1133 3/50 motherboard w/o FPU
See 501-1075.
501-1134 3/110 CPU VME
68020, 68881, Sun-3 MMU with eight hardware contexts, 4M onboard
RAM. VME bus interface. Onboard cgfour color framebuffer.
From left to right with component side up and connector edge
toward you (normal top edge at left), the rear edge has: a
female DB15 AUI Ethernet connector; a switch to toggle between
Normal and Diagnostics modes; eight LEDs (bit 0 to the
left/top); a female DB15 keyboard/mouse connector; two female
DB25 serial port connectors (ports A and B from left to right
(top/bottom)); four BNC color video connectors; and a reset
switch.
Pin 1 is usually in the upper right corner of all connectors.
Unconnected pins are not listed.
Jumpers J2500, J2501, and J2503 relate to Ethernet. The pinout of
the AUI Ethernet connector is:
2 E.COL+ 9 E.COL-
3 E.TxD+ 10 E.TxD-
5 E.RxD+ 12 E.RxD-
6 GND 13 +12V
7 VCC (see J2503)
If you want the machine to boot normally, set the diagnostics
switch to "NORM" (labelled "BOOT" on some early versions). If
you want extended diagnostics when you power up the system, set
the switch to the "DIAG" position. If the switch is set to
"DIAG", power-on self-test messages are sent to serial port A.
The eight LEDs are used for diagnostic purposes.
The pinout of the keyboard/mouse connector is:
1 RxD0 (keyboard) 8 GND
2 GND 9 GND
3 TxD0 (keyboard) 10 VCC
4 GND 11 VCC
5 RxD1 (mouse) 12 VCC
6 GND 14 VCC
7 TxD1 (mouse) 15 VCC
The serial ports conform to both RS-232-C and RS-423 and are
wired DTE. The documented maximum speeds are 19200 bps for
output and 9600 bps for input. The pinout of the serial ports
is:
2 TxD (transmit data) 8 DCD (Data Carrier Detect)
3 RxD (receive data) 15 DB (transmit clock from DCE)
4 RTS (Request To Send) 17 DD (receive clock from DCE)
5 CTS (Clear To Send) 20 DTR (Data Terminal Ready)
6 DSR (Data Set Ready) 24 DA (transmit clock from DTE)
7 GND 25 VERR (-5V)
The DB, DD, and DA signals are not used with ordinary
asynchronous equipment such as most modems and terminals,
printers, etc.).
The four video connectors are Blue, Green, Red, and Sync from
left to right (top/bottom). The resolution is 1152 x 900 with a
61.8KHz horizontal sync and 66Hz vertical sync.
The user reset button invokes a watchdog reset. The result
depends on the value at address 0x17 of the EEPROM. (?)
There are a variety of jumper blocks, many of which (oddly) have
separate designations for each pair of pins. Locations below are
given with component side up and connector edge toward you.

Disable onboard memory. UNJUMPED
Note that J400, J100, J2703, J2701, J2702, and J2700 are all in
the same block in the far left area, apparently in that order
from nearest to farthest. On the diagram in the FE manual, there
are eight jumper pairs, and it is not clear exactly what is
where.
Additional features of interest: the boot PROM is in the near
left, at location U1200. The IDPROM is in the near middle at
location U1409. The 8530 UARTs are in the middle, nearer than
the 68881. The Ethernet fuse is by the diag/norm switch at grid
A6 and the keyboard fuse is by the keyboard connector at grid
A12.
Note that when this board is used with a 32-bit data device such
as an MCP, HSI, ALM-2, SCA, or "Sun-3" SCSI controller, use
501-1134-06 or later.
Note that CPU revisions lower than 501-1134-07 Rev 50 may fail
vid3.diag or video3.exec.
The power requirements are +5V @ 14.7A, -5V @ 4.1A, and +12V @
0.15A.

Additional features of interest: the boot PROMs are in the far
right corner at locations U601-U604 (1651-1654 respectively).
Nearby, along the right edge, is a 3V battery. The P4 connector
is in the middle right, by the divider. The IDPROM is nearer, at
location U805. The keyboard fuse F1000 is near the keyboard
connector at grid C2 and the Ethernet fuse F1800 is near the
Ethernet connector at grid F2.
Note that 501-1199 boards must be 501-1199-11 or later, and
501-1237 boards 501-1237-11 or later to use a type-4 keyboard.
Note that the 501-1384 FPU2 is supported only on 501-1512/1513/
1514/1515/1516/1517.
Note that for the Ethernet autosense to operate, more than 30mA
must be present on the +12V return.
Note that boot ROM version 3.0 or later is required to use the
P4 cgsix color framebuffer (501-1374/1505/1532) as the console.
Power requirements (with FPU) are +5V @ 13.8A and -5V @ 0.1A.

If you want the machine to boot normally, set the diagnostics
switch to "NORM". If you want extended diagnostics when you
power up the system, set the switch to the "DIAG" position. If
the switch is set to "DIAG", power-on self-test messages are
sent to serial port A at 9600 bps, 8 data bits, one stop bit, no
parity, and XON/XOFF flow control.

The monochrome video output levels are ECL/TTL. The output can
be switched between low resolution (1152 x 900 61.8KHz
horizontal sync, 66Hz vertical sync) and high resolution (1600 x
1280) via a jumper in J800. The pinout of the monochrome video
connector is:
1 VIDEO+ 6 VIDEO-
3 HSYNC 7 GND
4 VSYNC 8 GND
9 GND
Memory is in the form of up to 24 1Mx9 SIMMs, rated 100ns or
faster, installed in groups of four starting with the SIMM slots
nearest the back of the motherboard and moving forward. These
SIMMs are part number 501-1239 and are the same kind used in IBM
PC clones. Note that some users have experienced problems with
three-chip SIMMs (as opposed to nine-chip SIMMs) -- see Misc Q&A
#17. The amount of memory seen is controlled by part of J800.
There is one jumper block and various points of interest. All
locations are given with component side up and connector side
toward you.
J800 (toward far left corner, pin 1 at left)
1-2 jump for 4M RAM or more installed
3-4 jump for 8M RAM or more installed
5-6 12M
7-8 16M
9-10 20M
11-12 24M
13-14 jump for AUI Ethernet, unjump for thin
Ethernet/autoselect
15-16 jump for high resolution video, unjump for normal
resolution/autoselect. Note that the video cable must
be 530-1539 or 530-1336 and the monitor must be
540-1427 Motorola revision T or later for autoselect to
operate.
Additional features of interest: the Ethernet fuse is in the far
left corner by the 3V battery, at grid J39. The IDPROM is at
location U224 (grid I20) in the leftish middle. The boot PROM is
at location U300 (grid K8) on the left side in the middle. The
8530 UARTs are also on the left side, toward the near end from
the boot PROM. The keyboard fuse is in the near left corner by
the keyboard connector at grid K1. The P4A and P4B connectors
are on the right side on either side of the middle bar.
Note that boot PROM version 1.6 is required to boot from a
QIC-24 tape. Boot ROM version 3.0 or later is required to use
the P4 cgsix color framebuffer (501-1374/1505/1532) as the
console.
Power requirements are +5V @ 11/13.5A typical/max, -5.2V @
0.3/0.5A typical/max, and +12V @ 0.3/0.5A typical/max. (The FE
manual lists +5V @ 10.1A for models with framebuffers and 8.9A
without, -5V @ 0.7A for models with framebuffers and 0.3A
without, and doesn't list +12V at all.)

4M of onboard memory. VME bus interface.
From left to right with component side up and connector edge
toward you (normal top edge at left), the rear edge has: a
female DB15 AUI Ethernet connector; eight LEDs (bit 0 to the
top/left); a switch to toggle between Normal and Diagnostics
modes; a reset switch; a female DB9 monochrome video connector;
a female DB15 keyboard/mouse connector; and two female DB25
serial port connectors (ports A and B from left to right
(top/bottom)).
Pin 1 is usually in the upper right corner of all connectors.
Unconnected pins are not listed.
Jumpers J2501 and J2503 relate to Ethernet. The pinout of
the AUI Ethernet connector is:
2 E.COL+ 9 E.COL-
3 E.TxD+ 10 E.TxD-
5 E.RxD+ 12 E.RxD-
6 GND 13 +12V
The eight LEDs are used for diagnostic purposes.
If you want the machine to boot normally, set the diagnostics
switch to "NORM" (labelled "BOOT" on some early versions). If
you want extended diagnostics when you power up the system, set
the switch to the "DIAG" position. If the switch is set to
"DIAG", power-on self-test messages are sent to serial port A.
The user reset button invokes a watchdog reset. The result
depends on the value at address 0x17 of the EEPROM. (?)
The monochrome video output levels are ECL/TTL, with a
resolution of 1152 x 900 at 61.8KHz horizontal sync and 66Hz
vertical sync. The pinout of the monochrome video connector is:

3 HSYNC 7 GND
4 VSYNC 8 GND
9 GND
The pinout of the keyboard/mouse connector is:
1 RxD0 (keyboard) 8 GND
2 GND 9 GND
3 TxD0 (keyboard) 10 VCC
4 GND 11 VCC
5 RxD1 (mouse) 12 VCC
6 GND 14 VCC
7 TxD1 (mouse) 15 VCC
The serial ports conform to both RS-232-C and RS-423 and are
wired DTE. The documented maximum speeds are 19200 bps for
output and 9600 bps for input. The pinout of the serial ports
is:
2 TxD (transmit data) 8 DCD (Data Carrier Detect)
3 RxD (receive data) 15 DB (transmit clock from DCE)
4 RTS (Request To Send) 17 DD (receive clock from DCE)
5 CTS (Clear To Send) 20 DTR (Data Terminal Ready)
6 DSR (Data Set Ready) 24 DA (transmit clock from DTE)
7 GND 25 VERR (-5V)
The DB, DD, and DA signals are not used with ordinary
asynchronous equipment such as most modems and terminals,
printers, etc.).
There are a variety of jumper blocks, many of which (oddly) have

Memory is in the form of up to eight 1M or 4M x 9 30-pin SIMMs
in two banks in the far right, U1300-U1307 from nearest to
farthest. The nearer four are bank 0, bytes 0-3, and the farther
four are bank 1, bytes 0-3. Nearby jumper J1900 controls whether
the SIMMs are 1M or 4M. The 1M SIMMs are 501-1408, 501-1466
(same as 4/1xx), 501-1544, 501-1565, and 501-1697. The 4M SIMMs
are 501-1682 and 501-1739. 4M SIMMs are "not supported on the
Sun-4/330 CPU" and require boot PROM version 3.0.3 or later.
Additional features of interest: the boot PROMs are in a group
in the near left, with U2101, U2103, U2102, and U2100 in that
order clockwise from the far left. The IDPROM is in the near
right corner at location U2202. The time-of-day/NVRAM chip is in
the middle of the left edge, at location U2200. There is a large
jumper bock J2000 in the far left (internal SCSI connector?).
The P4 connector is by the SIMMs, just nearer. The SCSI fuse
F3200 and Ethernet fuse F3100 are by the SCSI and Ethernet
connectors respectively. The keyboard fuse F0300 is by the LEDs.
All three fuses are 150-1174, 2A.
Note that the CPU is permanently set for type-2 Ethernet
transceivers.
Note that 501-1316-04 and later is required to use the ISP-80 or
FDDI controllers, and to run LISP software. Also, 501-1316-03 or
later is required to use the cg5 framebuffer.
Note that boot PROM version 3.0 or later is required to boot
from the 60M quarter-inch tape drive in the Mass Storage
Subsystem. Boot PROM version 3.0.1 or later is required to boot
from a tape drive on a secpmd SCSI controller. Boot PROM version
3.0.3 or later is required to use 4M SIMMs. Boot PROM version
4.1.1 or later is required when the 501-1537(1538) VX(MVX)
Visualization Accelerator is used as the console.
To provide circuit protection to the M+ and M- (+-12V) inputs on
the UC5170 serial port liner driver, install fused shunts
150-1669 at locations J2302, J2303, J2502, and J2503.

JU UN JU Bypass. Bypasses most of normal
self-test.
Additional features of interest: in the far left beyond the ISA
slots are five voltage test points (+5, GND, +12, -12, and -5
from left to right). In the far center are the boot PROM at
location U602, the time-of-day/NVRAM chip at U603, and the
IDPROM at U601. Next to the IDPROM is the SCSI connector, with
pin 1 in the far left. In line but nearer is the floppy
data/control connector, with pin 1 in the near right. The power
supply connector is along the right edge just beyond the jag in
the edge. Along the jag is the floppy/disk power connector (four
pins, pin 1 at right), and somewhat nearer are the fan power
connector (two pins, pin 1 at left) and the front panel LED
power connector (three pins, pin 1 farthest). In the near left
corner is the speaker connector (three pins, pin 1 farthest).
The Ethernet fuse is near the serial and parallel connectors,
and the SCSI fuse is near the SCSI connector. Both fuses are 1A
subminiature fuses, P/N 140-1027.
Note that boot PROM version 4.3 or later is required to use the
GXi color framebuffer 501-1352. Boot PROM version 4.4 or later
is required to use monochrome framebuffer 501-1433/1568.
Note that the Ethernet is permanently set for type-2
(transformer-coupled) transceivers.

through the tests in the chart above, then boots Unix. If LED 7
(10000000) lights up while the tests are being performed, it
indicates that the test failed. If LED 6 (01000000) lights up
with the tests are being performed, it indicates that an
unexpected error (bus error, address error, unexpected
interrupt, etc.) occurred during the test. When all tests are
finished, LED 5 (00100000) starts blinking to indicate that the
ROM monitor is running and/or Unix is booting.
If you want the machine to boot normally, set the diagnostics
switch to "NORM". If you want extended diagnostics when you
power up the system, set the switch to the "DIAG" position. If
the switch is set to "DIAG", power-on self-test messages are
sent to serial port A at 9600 bps, 8 data bits, one stop bit, no
parity, and XON/XOFF flow control.

501-1627 4/20 (SPARCstation SLC) motherboard
20MHz MB86901A or LSI L64801.
This board is an unusual shape because it is intended to slip
into the vertical slot in the monitor case behind the tube. It
slides in from the top, I believe with the component side facing
toward the front of the machine (all left/right orientations
below assume you are looking down on the board from the rear of
the machine). There are six diagnostic LEDs on the top edge (bit
0 away from the SIMMs, to the right). On the bottom edge is an
edge connector which supplies power and connects the CPU to the
external signal connectors.
There are no jumpers.
Memory consists of up to four 4M x 33 72-pin SIMMs (501-1676 or
501-1698) in SIMM slots U0502, U0602, U0501, and U0601 in that
order.
Additional features of interest: the boot PROM is along the
upper edge, toward the right, at location U1001. The NVRAM is to
the left of the boot PROM at location U1011. SCSI fuse F0901 and
Ethernet fuse F1101 are toward the right bottom, near the edge
connector, and are both non-replaceable PTC devices.
Note that the SLC was first supported in SunOS 4.0.3c.
Additionally, CPU boards with the 53C90A SCSI controller require
a patch to operate under 4.0.3c.

50MHz CY7C601 @ 40MHz, TI TMS390C601A (602A ?), Sun-4c MMU with
16 hardware contexts. 20MHz SBus.
From left to right, the rear edge of the board has: a 50-pin
SCSI-2 connector; an Ethernet connector; two serial port
connectors (ports A and B from left to right); an 8-pin-DIN
keyboard/mouse connector; and an audio connector.
Connector pinouts and form factors are not known.
Memory consists of up to sixteen 4M x 9 80ns 30-pin SIMMs. The
SIMM slots are arranged in four groups of four. Electrically,
there are four "banks," each of which is composed of one slot
from each group:
Back of machine (nearest SBus connectors)
-------U0311------ 0 0 -------U0322--------

Front of machine (nearest disk connectors)
Banks must be filled in order (0 through 3). THERE IS SOME
DISPUTE OVER WHICH SLOTS BELONG TO WHICH BANKS. The Sun Field
Engineer Handbook for 12/15/93 says that the banks are in order
(i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3 from back to front), but other sources agree
that they are in the interleaved order shown above.
There are a variety of jumpers. All locations are given with
component side up and connector side toward you.

Additional features of interest: the boot PROM is in the middle
left edge at location U0902. The NVRAM/TOD/ID chip is nearer
than the boot PROM, at location U0901. At the far edge, from
left to right, are the power, floppy, speaker, and internal SCSI
connectors. The Ethernet (F0802) and SCSI (F0801) fuses are in
the near left corner, P/N 150-1174. (150-1974 and 150-1162
repsectively may also work?) The keyboard fuse F0901 is by
serial port B, P/N 150-1174 (150-1162?).
Note that the IPC was first supported in SunOS 4.0.3c.
Additionally, CPU boards with the 53C90A SCSI controller require
a patch to operate under 4.0.3c.
Note that bug 1047696 in the installation of SunOS 4.1.1 and
4.1.1 Rev B causes trouble when mixing 1M and 4M SIMMs.
"Install the 4MB SIMMs in bank 0 when installing miniunix."
Note that SCSI bus errors may occur when multiple SCSI devices
are used with boards below 501-1689-06.
Note that boards below 501-1689-07 fail SunDiag floppy drive
testing.
Note that the 2.4, 2.6, and 2.9 boot PROM modes do not support
SunOS 4.0.3c or 4.1. Set the NVRAM parameter "version2?" to
FALSE to enable the 1.7 boot PROM mode.
Power requirements (with a full 48M of 4M SIMMs) are +5V @ 3.7A.
501-1720 4/20 (SPARCstation SLC) motherboard 8M
See 501-1627.
501-1733 SPARCstation 10 motherboard
Up to two Mbus modules. 16.6/20MHz (model 20) or 18/20MHz SBus.
SPARCstation 10 motherboards come in three fab versions,
270-1733-12 and 270-1733-13 (501-1733/2259/2274), and
270-1733-14 (501-2365), each with minor layout differences from
the others. Additionally, the 501-2274 part for the model 20 is
clocked at a different speed.
From left to right, the rear edge of the board has: ISDN NT and
TE connectors; a parallel/audio/AUI Ethernet connector; a
keyboard connector; a serial port connector (ports A and B in
the same connector); a 10BaseT Ethernet connector; and a 50-pin
SCSI-2 connector.
Connector pinouts and form factors are not known.
Memory is in the form of up to eight 16M (501-1785 or 501-2273)
or 64M (501-1930) 70ns SIMMs. They must be installed in the
order shown:

J304 --------------------- (2) 0x0C000000-0x0FFFFFFF
J305 --------------------- (7) 0x1C000000-0x1FFFFFFF
This would appear to mean that when using 16M SIMMs, memory is
not physically contiguous, and that 16M and 64M SIMMs can be
installed in any mixture.

Additional features of interest: the boot PROM is in the near
right at location U1005. The NVRAM/TOD/ID chip is beyond the
boot PROM, at location U1004. The power connector is in the far
left corner and the floppy and internal SCSI connector is in the
far right corner. The speaker fuse F1302, Ethernet fuse F1301,
and keyboard fuse F0801 are in a row along the middle near edge.
The SCSI fuse F1502 is in the far right corner near the SCSI
connector. The +12V fuse F1501 is in the middle left edge. All
fuses are nonreplaceable PTC devices. In the nearish left is a
large square chip, the MSI. For 270-1733-12 and -13, it may be
either 100-2905-02 (L1A6396) or 100-2905-03 (L1B7596). For
270-1733-14, it is always 100-2905-03 (L1B7596).
Note that the 270-1733-14 fab has BABT approval for ISDN and
X.25 use in the UK.
Note that boot PROM version 2.12 is required to install two
501-2358 SM40 Mbus modules.
Note that when adding a second Mbus module, any internal disk
drives with PTC protection should have the TERMPWR option
disabled. Otherwise, the power supply overcurrent protection may
be tripped when powering up.
Note that the GT and ZX options are not supported on boards with
MSI 100-2905-02 (LSI Logic L1A6396). They are only supported on
board with MSI 100-2905-03 (LSI Logic L1B7596).
When installing internal SCSI disk drives, disable the TERMPWR
option. SCSI bus TERMPWR is grounded on internal cable
530-1874-02. If TERMPWR is not disabled on drives with PTC
protection, the power supply overcurrent protection may be
tripped when powering up. If TERMPWR is not disabled on drives
with fuse protection, the fuses will blow. TERMPWR on the
internal SCSI bus is not connected to TERMPWR on the external
SCSI bus. Additionally, the inner surface of the SS10 chassis is
conductive, so drives must be mounted with insulating hardware.

connectors. In the far left corner are the keyboard (F0602) and
Ethernet (F0404) fuses, and the SCSI fuse (F0403) is in the
middle far edge. The fuses are not field-replaceable.
Note that the IPX was first supported in SunOS 4.1.1.
Additionally, CPU boards with the 100-2770-02 LSC L1A6341 ASIC
are subject to bugs 1055265, 1057110, and 1057243 under SunOS
4.1.1 and 4.1.1 Rev B. The IPX supplement fixes these bugs, and
was rolled into SunOS 4.1.2.
Note that bug 1047696 in the installation of SunOS 4.1.1 and
4.1.1 Rev B causes trouble when mixing 4M and 16M SIMMs.

33MHz Fujitsu MB86903 or Weitek W8701, Sun-4c MMU with 8
hardware contexts.
This board is an unusual shape because it is intended to slip
into the vertical slot in the monitor case behind the tube. It
slides in from the top, I believe with the component side facing
toward the front of the machine (all left/right orientations
below assume you are looking down on the board from the rear of
the machine). On the bottom edge is an edge connector which
supplies power and connects the CPU to the external signal
connectors.
There are no jumpers.
Memory consists of up to four 4M or 16M x 33 72-pin SIMMs
(501-1812 or 501-1698 (4M), and 501-1822 (16M)). SIMM types may
be mixed, and should be installed according to this table:

backplane starting in November 1993. Remove the screws on the
inside ends of the motherboard XDBus connectors before
installing it in a backplane with guide pins.
Note that the highest-revision boot PROM should be installed in
system board 0.
Note that the 501-1866 can only access 1M of cache; the 501-2334
and 501-2362 do not have this limitation.
Note that FAB 270-1866-03 uses fuses at F0200 and F0300; FAB
270-1866-04 uses PTCs.
Note that the SPARCcenter 1000 was first supported by Solaris
2.2 (SunOS 5.2). Solaris 2.2 supports up to five system boards,
or eight Mbus modules on four system boards. Solaris 2.3
supports up to twenty Mbus modules on ten system boards.

Additional features of interest: the boot PROM is in the near
right at location U1005. The NVRAM/TOD/ID chip is beyond the
boot PROM, at location U1004. The power connector is in the far
left corner and the floppy and internal SCSI connector is in the
far right corner. The Ethernet fuse F1301, and keyboard fuse
F0801 are along the middle near edge. The SCSI fuse F1502 is in
the far right corner near the SCSI connector. The +12V fuse
F1501 is in the middle left edge. All fuses are nonreplaceable
PTC devices. Audio daughterboard 501-2395 is always installed in
the near left corner.
Note that audio sampling at 37.8KHz is not supported.
Note that when adding a second Mbus module, any internal disk
drives with PTC protection should have the TERMPWR option
disabled. Otherwise, the power supply overcurrent protection may
be tripped when powering up.
Note that the GT and ZX options are not supported on boards with
MSI 100-2905-02 (LSI Logic L1A6396). They are only supported on
board with MSI 100-2905-03 (LSI Logic L1B7596).
When installing internal SCSI disk drives, disable the TERMPWR
option. SCSI bus TERMPWR is grounded on internal cable
530-1874-02. If TERMPWR is not disabled on drives with PTC
protection, the power supply overcurrent protection may be
tripped when powering up. If TERMPWR is not disabled on drives
with fuse protection, the fuses will blow. TERMPWR on the
internal SCSI bus is not connected to TERMPWR on the external
SCSI bus. Additionally, the inner surface of the chassis is
conductive, so drives must be mounted with insulating hardware.
Note that the SPARCstation 10SX/10BSX was first supported by
Solaris 2.3.

near center, near J800 and the keyboard connector. There is a
fuse by the keyboard connector and LEDs, documented as not field
replacable.
Note that 501-8028-07 or later is required to use the 501-8029
3/E color framebuffer.
Power requirements are +5V @ 8.1A, +12V @ 0.25A, and -12V @
0.12A.

From left to right with component side up and connector side
nearest you (normal top edge at left), the rear edge of the
board has: a 50-pin SCSI-2 connector; an Ethernet connector; a
keyboard/mouse connector; a serial port connector (port B,
apparently DB9); eight LEDs (bit 0 to the left/top); a reset
switch; and another serial port connector (port A, apparently
DB9).
Connector pinouts and form factors are unknown.
There are a variety of jumper blocks. All locations are given
with component side up and connector side toward you.
J0301 (single jumper in middle)
Jump to enable 20MHz clock. JUMPED
J0801 (3-pin jumper in far middle)
1-2 Use 4M parity memory JUMPED
2-3 Disable 4M parity memory
J1701 (single jumper in middle far edge)
Jump if CPU is installed in VME slot 1. JUMPED
Additional features of interest: the boot PROM is on a
daughtercard in the near left. The keyboard fuse F1101 and
Ethernet fuse F0901 are near the keyboard connector and are not
field replaceable. The SBus connector is along the far edge, by
one of the VME connectors.
Note that boot PROM version 1.4 does not support SunOS 4.1e, but
versions 1.5 and 1.6 do.
Note that boot PROM version 1.6 and daughtercard 500-8013-05 are
installed on CPU 501-8035-12. This daughtercard is required if a
customer-supplied PROM is used with the 1.6 boot PROM;
customer-supplied PROMs will not function on daughter cards
500-8013-04 or below, even if 1.6 boot PROMs are installed.
Power requirements are +5V @ 5A, +12V @ 0.1A, and -12V @
0.1A.

Memory boards
-------------
501-1013 1M Multibus
One megabyte of zero-wait-state memory with parity, consisting
of 144 64K x 1-bit chips. Connected to the processor by the
Multibus P2 connector only; the Multibus P1 connector is used
only for +5V and ground connections.
Eight-position DIP switch U506 controls the address at which the
board appears. The switches are all mutually exclusive. To make
the board the first megabyte (starting at address 0), turn
switch 1 ON and all others OFF. To make the board the second
megabyte (starting at address 0x100000), turn switch 2 ON and
all others OFF, etc. Via this method, the board may be set for
any megabyte from the first to the eighth; the eighth is only
available for memory when a monochrome display board is not
present in the system.
Power requirements are +5V @ 3A.
501-1020 2/50 1M VME
The information on this and related boards is a bit spotty. The
configurations shown below are only some of the possible
configurations. Take with a grain of salt.

See 501-1020.
501-1047 2/50 4M VME
See 501-1020. Note that this board cannot coexist with a 4M 2/50
CPU, since the eighth megabyte is occupied by the monochrome
framebuffer
501-1048 1M Multibus
Laid out differently than 501-1013, but functionally the same.
The address DIP switch is in a different location but is set in
the same manner. See 501-1013.
501-1067 2/50 3M VME
See 501-1020.
501-1079 2/50 0M VME
See 501-1020. This board is intended as a host for the piggyback
SCSI controller or Sky floating point processor.
501-1102 8M VME 3/2xx,3/4xx,4/2xx
Eight megabytes of ECC memory consisting of 256K x 1-bit chips,
with onboard refresh control.
All locations are with component side up and the VME connectors
away from you.
There is a socket for a 220/270-ohm terminator pack 120-1613 at
location F34 (U1203). Whether this terminator is installed
depends on the machine the board is in, and the board's
location.
For a 3/2xx, the first memory board must be in VME slot 6 and
must have the terminator pack installed. "Remove the terminator
when expansion memory boards are installed in slots 2, 3, 4, and
5" -- which is impossible because only four boards are
supported, with the other three boards being in slots 2-4.
Memory boards not in slot 6 should not have the terminator pack
installed.
For a 3/4xx or 4/2xx, the memory board in VME slot 1 should
always have the terminator pack installed. If there are memory
boards on both sides of the CPU, remove the terminator at U1411
on the 3/4xx CPU and install a terminator pack on the memory
board in slot 7.
There are four jumpers.

J0301 probably not present
J0302 near left corner (accessible through top of back edge,
position 0 at bottom)

1 second memory board
2 third memory board
3 fourth memory board
There are five LEDs on the upper rear edge of the board. In
normal operation, only the two green LEDs should be lit.
UE Uncorrectable error (when lit) RED
CE Correctable error (when lit) YELLOW
DIS CPU access disabled (when lit) YELLOW
CPU CPU accessing memory GREEN
This LED flickers because it is only lit when the CPU is
actually accessing the memory on the board. If the LED is not
flickering, that simply means you have more memory than you
need at the moment -- the board is not being accessed
significantly.
REF Refresh OK (when lit) GREEN
If this LED is not lit, refresh has failed and the board
should be repaired or replaced.
Note that this board must be 501-1102-11 or later to use with
the 3/4xx, the FPA, or the FPA+.
Power requirements are 5V @ 12.3A.
501-1111 2M VME 3/75
Two megabytes of memory and connectors for the piggyback SCSI
board 501-1045.
With the component side up and the VME connectors away from you,
the D50 SCSI connector is in the near right corner, and the
piggyback connectors are in the center and left middle. The
memory is in the far right quadrant.
Jumper J3101 at the left far edge should be jumped, and J3102
just nearer should be unjumped.
There are two eight-position DIP switches, each of which should
have only one switch on, and all the rest off. Switch 1 is to
the left. For this board, both should be set identically.

501-1121 0M VME 3/75
Same as 501-1111, but with no memory -- it was just a host for
the piggyback SCSI board.
501-1122 4M VME 3/75
Basically the same as 501-1111, but four megabytes of memory and
different switch settings.

2 third memory board (J0312 jumped)
3 fourth memory board (J0313 jumped)
4 fifth memory board (J0314 jumped)
5 sixth memory board (J0315 jumped)
There are five LEDs on the upper rear edge of the board. In
normal operation, only the two green LEDs should be lit.
UE Uncorrectable error (when lit) RED
CE Correctable error (when lit) YELLOW
DIS CPU access disabled (when lit) YELLOW
CPU CPU accessing memory GREEN
This LED flickers because it is only lit when the CPU is
actually accessing the memory on the board. If the LED is not
flickering, that simply means you have more memory than you
need at the moment -- the board is not being accessed
significantly.
REF Refresh OK (when lit) GREEN
If this LED is not lit, refresh has failed and the board
should be repaired or replaced.
Note that SunOS 4.0.3 only supports up to 256M of memory, and
SunOS 4.1 (PSR A) requires the 4.1 PSR A Sun-4 PMEG patch to
support over 256M of memory.

Video boards
------------
VIDEO STANDARDS
MONO
bwone
Sun-1 monochrome framebuffer.
bwtwo
The standard monochrome framebuffer, found in everything
from the first Sun-2 to desktop SPARCs, and the 386i as
well. Standard resolution is 1152 x 900 and high
resolution is 1280 x 1024; other resolutions (1024 x
1024?) may exist.
MG
"MG" framebuffers are actually bwtwo.
COLOR
Note that the ROM monitor in a machine may or may not know about any
particular color framebuffer, depending on the revision of the ROM and
the age of the framebuffer standard. If the ROM does not know how to
detect/display on the particular color framebuffer you have installed,
it will be unable to display the normal ROM boot messages. This does not
affect OS support for the framebuffer; if you are willing to boot blind,
SunOS should find the framebuffer and start displaying on it normally.
The alternative is to get a more recent ROM or a different framebuffer.
cgone
Sun-1 color framebuffer. Can run SunWindows. The
hardware occupies 16K of Multibus address space, by
default starting at addresses 0xE8000 or 0xEC000 and
using interrupt level 3.
cgtwo
VME-based color framebuffer found in Sun-2's and up. The
hardware occupies 4M of VMEbus address space, by default
starting at address 0x400000 and using interrupt level
4.
cgthree
8-bit color framebuffer found in Sun-4's and Sun-386i's.
cgfour
8-bit color framebuffer, found in Sun-3's and Sun-4's,
with a monochrome overlay plane and an overlay enable
plane on the 3/110 and some 3/60 models. It is the
onboard framebuffer for the 3/110. The SunOS driver
implements ioctls to get and put colormaps; the 3/60
models have an overlay plane colormap as well.
cgfive
Equivalent to cgtwo. Can be used alone or with the
GP/GP+/GP2 accelerators.
cgsix
8-bit accelerated (GX) color framebuffer, found in
Sun-3's and Sun-4's. The GX accelerator is a low-end
accelerator designed to enhance vector and polygon
drawing performance.
cgeight
24-bit color framebuffer, found in Sun-3's and Sun-4's,
with a monochrome overlay plane and in some cases an
overlay enable plane as well. Despite being 24-bit, the
SunOS driver is documented as implementing ioctls to get
and put colormaps.
cgnine
24-bit double-buffered VME-based color framebuffer, with
two overlay planes and the ability to work with the GP2
graphics accelerator board. In double-buffer mode, color
resolution is reduced to 12 bits.
cgtwelve
24-bit double-buffered SBus-based color framebuffer,
with graphics accelerator, an overlay plane and an
overlay enable plane. Apparently can run in an 8-bit
colormapped mode as well. In double-buffer mode, color
resolution is reduced to 12 bits.
cgfourteen
From the manpage: "The cgfourteen device driver controls
the video SIMM (VSIMM) component of the video and graphics
subsystem of the SPARCstation 10SX. The VSIMM provides
24-bit truecolor visuals in a variety of screen
resolutions and pixel depths."
ACCELERATORS
gpone
Generic name for Graphics Processor (GP), Graphics
Processor Plus (GP+), and Graphics Processor 2 (GP2)
boards. The hardware occupies 64K of VMEbus address space,
starting at address 0x210000 by default and using interrupt
level 4.
taac
The TAAC is somewhere between a general application
accelerator and a graphics accelerator. It is "a
very-long-instruction-world computation engine, coupled
with an 8M memory array. This memory area can be used as
a frame buffer or as storage for large data sets."
VIDEO BOARDS
MONO
501-1003 monochrome video/keyboard/mouse TTL only Multibus
From top to bottom on the rear edge of the board are a female
DB-9 video connector, a header connector for the serial type 2
keyboard, and a header connector for the serial Sun-2 mouse.
This board must be placed in a slot in the Multibus P2
section shared by the CPU. For backplane P/N 501-1090, it must
be placed in slot 6 to terminate the P2 bus; for newer
backplanes, it is usually placed in slot 6 anyway.
DIP switch and jumper information for revisions -03 through -07:
U100 DIP switch video board address
Eight-position DIP switch. All switches are mutually exclusive
and they correspond to megabyte sections of the address space
in the same way as the 501-1013 memory board. The first video
board must be set to the eighth megabyte, which means switch
eight must be ON and all others must be OFF.
J1903 jumper serial interrupt level select
pins 13-14 jumped by default, all others unjumped
J1904 jumper video interrupt level select
pins 9-10 jumped by default, all others unjumped

SCSI controller boards
----------------------
501-1006 Sun-2 SCSI/serial Multibus
SCSI interface and four serial lines with full modem control.
Identifiable by its three 50-pin header connectors, one of which
(J3, the bottommost) is the SCSI interface and the other two of
which (J1 and J2) are the serial lines.
There are three DIP switches: U305, U312, and U315. Holding the
board with the 50-pin header connectors down and component side
toward you, U312 is lowest, U315 in the middle, and U305 at the
top. All three are eight-position.
U305 SCSI board base address/bus priority in (BPRN)
Switches one through six correspond to address bits A14
through A19 respectively. The default setting is switch six
on, switches one through five off. Switch eight grounds the
bus priority in (BPRN) line and must be OFF; it should be ON
only if you are configuring the board as the highest-priority
DMA master in a serial card cage (i.e. a non-Sun
configuration).
U312 SCSI interrupt priority
Switches eight through one correspond to interrupt priorities
0 through 7 in that (reverse) order. The default is for switch
six to be ON and all others OFF, which yields an interrupt
priority of 2.
U315 Serial interrupt priority
Switches eight through one correspond to interrupt priorities
0 through 7 in that (reverse) order. The default is for switch
two to be ON and all others OFF, which yields an interrupt
priority of 6.
Serial ports C and D appear on connector J2, E and F on
connector J1. These are usually labelled SIO-S0 through SIO-S3
on the back of the machine (SIO-C through SIO-F on older
machines) and appear as /dev/ttys0 through /dev/ttys3 under
SunOS. If you have a second SCSI/serial board, the serial ports
appear as /dev/ttyt0 through /dev/ttyt3 under SunOS. The
documented maximum output speed is 19200 bps. All ports are
wired DTE and are compatible with both RS-232C and RS-423, using
Zilog Z8530A dual UART chips. The pinout of J2 is:
3 TxD-C 14 DTR-C 33 DD-D
4 DB-C 15 DCD-C 34 CTS-D
5 RxD-C 22 DA-C 36 DSR-D
7 RTS-C 24 BSY-C 38 GND-D
8 DD-C 28 TxD-D 39 DTR-D
9 CTS-C 29 DB-D 40 DCD-D
11 DSR-C 30 RxD-D 47 DA-D
13 GND-C 32 RTS-D 49 BSY-D
The pinout of J1 is exactly similar; substitute "E" for "C" and
"F" for "D".
Power requirements are +5V @ 5A.
501-1045 "Sun-2" SCSI host adapter, 6U VME
Used with various 6U/9U VME adapters to produce the 501-1138,
501-1149, and 501-1167. Uses PALs and logic sequencers to
implement SCSI protocols. Frequently found in Sun-3's despite
name.
There are DIP switches at U702 and U704. The bits are inverted,
so the default settings correspond to an address of 0x200000.
U702 VMEbus address, low bits
1-4 not connected
5-8 A12-A15 ON by default
U704 VMEbus address, high bits
1-5 A16-A20 ON by default

501-1138 "Sun-2" SCSI host adapter, external, VME
A 501-1045 6U VME SCSI host adapter in a 270-1138 6U/9U VME
adapter, which provides only an external D50 connection. See
501-1045. See 3/50 motherboard listing for pinout.
501-1149 "Sun-2" SCSI host adapter, internal, VME
A 501-1045 6U VME SCSI host adapter in a 270-1059 6U/9U VME
adapter, which provides only an internal connection to VME slot
7 in 12-slot chassis. See 501-1045.
501-1167 "Sun-2" SCSI host adapter, external/internal, VME
A 501-1045 6U VME SCSI host adapter in a 270-1059 6U/9U VME
adapter, which provides only an internal connection to VME slot
7 in 12-slot chassis, but also with a 530-1282 cable/connector
to provide an external D50 connection as well. See 501-1045. In
order to use both sides of the bus, it is generally necessary to
remove the SCSI terminators from the 501-1045 board. See 3/50
motherboard listing for external pinout. Has a holder for a
coin battery which drives a clock chip that Suns don't use (see
Misc Q&A #6).
501-1170 "Sun-3" SCSI host adapter, internal, VME
A 501-1236 6U VME SCSI host adapter in a 270-1059 6U/9U VME
adapter, which provides only an internal connection to VME slot
7 in 12-slot chassis.
501-1217 "Sun-3" SCSI host adapter, external, VME
A 501-1236 6U VME SCSI host adapter in a 270-1138 6U/9U VME
adapter, which provides only an external D50 connection. See
501-1236. See 3/50 motherboard listing for pinout.
501-1236 "Sun-3" SCSI host adapter, 6U VME
Used with various 6U/9U VME adapters to produce the 501-1170 and
501-1217. Can also be used with a 270-1059 6U/9U VME adapter (as
in the 501-1170) paired with a 530-1282 cable/connector to
provide an external D50 connection as well (generally requires
removing the SCSI terminators from the 501-1236 to use both
sides of the bus); this configuration was never supported by
Sun, so it doesn't have a part number, but is supposed to work.
Uses an NCR5380 SCSI chip.
There are DIP switches at U408 and U409.

Non-SCSI disk controller boards
-------------------------------
SMD
370-1012 Xylogics 450 SMD controller Multibus
This board is used to control SMD hard disks. It is a Multibus
bus master using variable-burst-length DMA.
This board should not share a Multibus P2 section with Sun-2 CPU
or memory boards because it has P2 traces which are incompatible
with those used on the Sun-2 CPU and memory boards.
Since this board is a Multibus bus master, its relative slot
number determines its priority (slot 1 is the highest). The
board must be placed in a lower-priority position than the Sun-2
CPU board for proper handling of bus arbitration. It should also
be placed in a lower-priority position than the 370-0502 (?)
TAPEMASTER half-inch tape controller board, if there is one in
the system, but it may be placed in a higher-priority position
than the 501-1006 SCSI/serial board.
This board dissipates a fair amount of heat and should be placed
in the most central position possible, subject to the
considerations listed above. For maximum air circulation, leave
the slot to the left of this board empty, if possible.
The edge of the board has one 60-pin header connector for SMD
control and four 26-pin header connectors for SMD data; however,
only two SMD disks are supported per board by SunOS. There is no
required order of connection from SMD disks to SMD data
connectors; the board automatically detects which disk is
connected to which data connector.
At one corner of the SMD-connector-edge of the board is a small
LED, which flickers during disk activity.
This board has dozens of jumper blocks, some of which are
cross-jumped to other jumper blocks.
JA-JB crossjumped always from one to the other
Located at K3.
1-1 8/16-bit address control UNJUMPED by default

For the first XY450 board, jump JC1-JR1, JC2-JD2, JC3-JD3, and
JC4-JD4. For the second XY450 board (only two are supported by
SunOS), jump JC1-JR1, JC2-JD2, JC3-JD3, and JC4-JR4. Pins one
through four of JC correspond to address bits six through three
in that (reverse) order. Jumping JC to JR selects the bit;
jumping JC to JD deselects the bit. Hence, the address of the
first board is 0xEE40 and the second 0xEE48. These jumper blocks
are located at K4, right by the JE block.
Power requirements are +5V @ 8A and -5V @ 1A.
IPI
501-1539
501-1855 ISP-80 IPI controller VME
This board allows connection of IPI drives (q.v. for information
on IPI in general) to a VME-based machine. It has an onboard
68020 and RAM for handling I/O optimization and buffering. It
has a maximum DMA tranfer rate of 16M per second, but the IPI
maximum disk tranfer rate is only 6M.
Note that older firmware revisions may have problems with newer
disks.
Note that the 501-1539 can be used with cgfive boards
501-1267-05 or later only.
SCSI ADAPTORS
370-1010 Adaptec ACB4000 SCSI-MFM controller

xxx-xxxx Emulex MD21 SCSI-ESDI controller
This board allows an ESDI disk to be connected to a SCSI bus.
The MD21 can actually control two ESDI disks, which appear as
SCSI logical units (LUNs) 0 and 1 on the SCSI ID assigned to the
MD21 as a whole.
The MD21 uses a 8031 CPU with 32K PROM. It has 32K of onboard
buffer RAM, with about 14K being used for each connected disk.
It supports ESDI transfer rates up to 15Mbps and SCSI transfer
rates up to 1.25Mbps (burst). It supports the SCSI

MISC
370-1401 Prestoserve NFS accelertor SBus
Nonvolatile RAM and logic used to cache NFS writes (which are
otherwise synchronous and hence slow).
With component side up and SBus connector away from you, there
are two batteries, each with a fuse, and a switch block toward
the near side. The batteries are not field-replaceable. On the
back edge is an LED and a "Live Test Switch". When this button
is pressed, the LED lights up if there is cached data in the
onboard nonvolatile memory.
SW1 (in near midle)
BAT enables battery backup. The Prestoserve software will
not initialize and NFS writes will not be cached unless
SW1 is in this position.
5V disables battery backup. Cached data will be lost if the
switch is set to 5V for more than five minutes. Use
this setting to conserve battery power when the board
is not installed and whatever data is currently present
does not need to be preserved.
Note that at least SunOS 4.1.1 with Prestoserve 2.3 software is
required. Solaris 2.x requires Prestoserve 2.4. The Sun 4/6xx
systems require at least Solaris 1.0.1 (SunOS 4.1.2), and only
support one Prestoserve controller (either VME or SBus) in the
system. The SBus Prestoserve accelerates NFS writes to disks
connected to either SBus or VME disk controllers.
The SPARCstation 10 supports an onboard NVSIMM or the SBus
Prestoserve controller.
Power requirements are +5V @ 0.8A.
501-1847 Prestoserve NFS accelerator VME
Nonvolatile RAM and logic used to cache NFS writes (which are
otherwise synchronous and hence slow).
With component side up and VME connectors away from you, there
are three switch blocks toward the far edge and a jumper in the
far middle. Toward the near edge are three batteries, each with
a fuse, and a switch block. The batteries are not
field-replaceable. On the back edge is an LED and a "Live Test
Switch". When this button is pressed, the LED lights up if there
is cached data in the onboard nonvolatile memory.
SW1 (in far right, switch 1 to right)
1 ON for 24-bit VME operation (default), OFF for 32-bit VME
operation.
2-9 Address bits A24-A31. All OFF by default.
SW2 (in far middle, switch 1 to right)
1-8 starting address bits A16-A23. OFF to match a one bit,
ON to match a zero bit.
SW3 (in far left, switch 1 to right)
1-8 ending address bits A16-A23. OFF to match a one bit, ON
to match a zero bit.
SW4 (in near leftish)
BAT enables battery backup. The Prestoserve software will
not initialize and NFS writes will not be cached unless
SW4 is in this position.
5V disables battery backup. Cached data will be lost if the
switch is set to 5V for more than five minutes. Use
this setting to conserve battery power when the board
is not installed and whatever data is currently present
does not need to be preserved.
R4 (jumper in far middle)
UNJUMPED
The normal address range for the Prestoserve board is
0x800000-0x8FFFFF (SW2-1 OFF, rest of SW2 ON, SW3-1,5,6,7,8 OFF,
rest of SW3 ON). The alternate range is 0xC00000-0xCFFFFF (as
above but SW2-2 and SW3-2 OFF). This alternate address range is
used if the Network CoProcessor software release 1.4 is
installed and a fifth NC400 (370-1396, 370-1421, 370-1696?) is
installed. This restriction does not apply to Network
CoProcessor release 1.4.2.
Note that at least SunOS 4.1 PSR A (with Prestoserve 2.0
software) is required. SunOS 4.1.1-4.1.3 require Prestoserve 2.3
software. It is not clear whether Solaris 2.0 or 2.1 support the
VME Prestoserve, but 2.2 and later don't. The Sun 4/6xx systems
require at least Solaris 1.0.1 (SunOS 4.1.2), and only support
one Prestoserve controller (either VME or SBus) in the system.
Furthermore, the VME Prestoserve only accelerates NFS writes to
disks connected to VME disk controllers.
When used with the ISP-80 IPI disk controller (501-1539 or
501-1855), the ISP-80 firmware must be at least 525-1023-05,
525-1024-08, and 525-1025-08. Lower revisions may cause SunDiag
to hang when the system has 32M of memory. Systems with more
than 32M are not affected. The 501-1539-08, 501-1855-02, and
later ISP-80 boards have the minimum required firmware.
Power requirements are +5V @ 2.1A.
Non-SCSI tape controller boards
-------------------------------
HALF-INCH NINE-TRACK
370-0502 ? Computer Products Corporation TAPEMASTER
This part number is listed as either the TAPEMASTER or the
Xylogics 472 tape controller in different places. The TAPEMASTER
is also listed as 370-0167.
This board should not share a Multibus P2 section with Sun-2 CPU
or memory boards.
This board is a Multibus bus master, so its relative slot
number determines its priority (slot 1 is the highest). The
board must be placed in a lower-priority position than the Sun-2
CPU board for proper handling of bus arbitration. It should also
be placed in a higher-priority position than the 370-1012
Xylogics 450 SMD controller board, if there is one in the
system.
DIP switch and jumper information:
S1 addressing
Eight-position DIP switch, selecting address bits A1 through
A7 and 8/16-bit addressing. The first TAPEMASTER board should
have switches 1 and 3 OFF and all others ON. The second
TAPEMASTER board should have switches 1, 3, and 7 OFF and all
others ON.
S2 addressing
Eight-position DIP switch, selecting address bits A8 through
A15. All switches should be ON.

SCSI ADAPTORS
370-1011 Sysgen SC4000 SCSI/QIC-II controller
This board is used to connect a QIC-II (aka QIC-02) quarter-inch
cartridge tape drive to the SCSI bus. The board supports only
one attached tape drive, usually a QIC-11 (20M) drive. It was
standard equipment on the 2/120.
There are two LEDs (DS1 and DS2) in one corner of the board. DS2
is on when the board is selected (during SCSI activity).
Connection information:
JH 50-pin SCSI connector
JT 50-pin tape connector, labelled "TAPE"
Note that there is a 50-pin SCSI connector labelled "SLAVE" on
the board as well. The Sysgen manual recommends connecting
downstream SCSI devices to this connector instead of using an
inline connector on JH; Sun recommends against this, because
doing so will result in loss of access to all downstream devices
if the Sysgen board fails.
DIP switch and jumper information:
four-position DIP switch SCSI address
Switches one, two, and three correspond to SCSI address bits
one, two, and three respectively. The default is SCSI address
4: switches one and two OFF, switch three ON. Switch four
should always be OFF.

xxx-xxxx Emulex MT-02 SCSI/QIC-02?(-36?) controller
This board is used to connect a quarter-inch cartridge tape
drive to the SCSI bus. It is the standard method of connecting a
QIC-24 (60M) drive to a Sun-3. Despite the name, the board is
reputed to actually attach QIC-36 (not QIC-02) devices to the
SCSI bus. So far I haven't found any documents which actually
say one way or the other.
With the component side of the board up and the power connector
J4 in the upper right corner, the tape data connector J3 is on
the left side, the SCSI connector J5 is on the right side, and
the eight-position DIP switch SW1 is in the upper left corner.

Ethernet and other network boards
---------------------------------
501-0288 3COM 3C400 Ethernet Multibus
This board is used in Sun-1 and Sun-2 configurations. It may be
distinguished from the 501-1004 Sun-2 Multibus Ethernet by
checking the location of the Ethernet cable connector, which is
toward the bottom of the board. (On the edge with the Multibus
connectors, the larger connector is toward the top.)
DIP switch and jumper information:
JP1 jumper Addressing size
JP2 jumper
With the board component-side up and the Multibus edge
connectors facing you, these jumpers are in the lower left
corner of the board. They should be set for 20-bit memory
addressing, with JP1 unjumped and JP2 jumped.
MRDC jumper
MWTC jumper
IORC jumper
IOWC jumper
To the right of JP1 and JP2. MRDC and MWTC should be jumped.
IORC and IOWC should be unjumped.
INT? jumper Ethernet interrupt level
Eight-position jumper, with pairs marked INT0 through INT7.
INT3 should be jumped, all others unjumped.
ADR17 DIP switch
In the bottom right corner of the board. All switches should
be set to OFF.
ADR13 DIP switch
Eight-position DIP switch; switches seven through one
correspond to address bits A13 through A19 in that (reverse)
order. For the first Ethernet board, switches one, two, and
three should be ON and all others OFF. For the second Ethernet
board, switches one, two, three, and seven should be ON and
all others OFF. Switch eight should ALWAYS be OFF.
The Ethernet address PROM is in component position I2.
Power requirements are +5V @ 5V and +12V @ 0.5A.
501-1004 Sun-2 Ethernet Multibus
This board may be distinguished from the 501-0288 3COM Multibus
Ethernet by checking the location of the Ethernet cable
connector, which is toward the top of the board (toward the same
short edge as the larger Multibus connector). The connector is a
header connector; electrically, it is AUI Ethernet.
Intel 82586 Ethernet controller chip, 256K of dual-ported
memory.
DIP switch and jumper information:
U503 DIP switch Register base address
Eight-position DIP switch; switches one through eight
correspond to address bits A12 through A19, respectively. For
the first Ethernet board, switches four and eight should be ON
and all others OFF. For the second Ethernet board, switches
three, four, and eight should be ON and all others OFF.
U505 DIP switch On-board memory base address
Eight-position DIP switch; switches one through four
correspond to address bits A16 through A19, respectively. For
the first Ethernet board, switch three should be ON and all
others OFF. For the second Ethernet board, switches two and
four should be ON and all others OFF.
U506 DIP switch Size of Multibus port into onboard memory
Eight-position DIP switch. For the first Ethernet board,
switches two, three, six, and seven should be ON and all
others OFF. For the second Ethernet board, switches one, four,
five, and eight should be ON and all others OFF.
J101 jumper Transceiver type
For type 1 (capacitive-coupled) transceivers, jumped. For type
2 (transformer-coupled) transceivers, unjumped. On my Rev. 12A
board, just a pair of solder pads, no wire -- permanently
unjumped.
J400 jumper M.BIG
"J400 allows the selection of M.BIG, or the input to Port B
(bank select circuitry) which has the address lines for 256K
DRAMs." Unjumped by default.
J401 jumper M.EXP
Multibus P2 address and data buffers enabled when jumped,
disabled when unjumped. If enabled, this board MUST have its
own private P2 section. ONLY boards which do not use the P2
bus at all may be one the same section. If disabled, this
board may be on the same P2 section as the CPU and memory
boards, or it may be on a P2 section used by other boards with
these notes: this board grounds pins P2-26, P2-32, P2-38, and
P2-50, and cannot tolerate voltages outside the range of 0-5V
on any other P2 pins. Sun-supplied boards meet these
requirements.
J500 hardwired jumper Ethernet interrupt level
Sets the Ethernet interrupt level. Pins 7-8 are hardwired
together, setting the interrupt level to 3. Level 7 is closest
to the edge of the board, level 0 closest to the center.
Power requirements are +5V @ 6A and +12V @ 0.5A.
Communications boards
---------------------
501-1006 Sun-2 SCSI/serial Multibus
See under "SCSI boards".
xxx-xxxx Systech MTI-800A/1600A Multiple Terminal Interface Multibus
There are two parts to the MTI-800A/1600A: a Multibus controller
board and a 19" rack-mountable chassis with eight (800A) or
sixteen (1600A) serial ports. The board should not share a
Multibus P2 section with Sun-2 CPU or memory boards.
This board provides two modes of operation: single character
transfer mode, in which data is transferred one character at a
time to or from the CPU, and block transfer mode, in which data
is moved between the board and memory via DMA. In this mode, the
board is a Multibus bus master and supports CBRQ.
This board has four eight-position DIP switches, near the center
of the board.
DIP switch information:
SW2 address
Switches 6 and 7 ON and all others OFF.
SW3 address/default channel configuration
1,2 OFF (?)
3 ON; between this and SW2, address set to 0x0620.
4,5 OFF (?)
6 8/16-bit addressing, ON/OFF respectively. OFF by default.
7,8 one stop bit, both OFF
SW4 default channel configuration
1,2 no parity, both OFF
3,4 eight bits, both ON
5-8 9600 baud: 5, 6, and 7 ON, 8 OFF
SW5 interrupt level
Switch 5 ON, all others OFF, for interrupt level 4
xxx-xxxx Systech VPC-2200 Versatec Printer/Plotter controller Multibus
This board should not share a Multibus P2 section with Sun-2 CPU
or memory boards.
This board is a Multibus bus-mastering DMA board with CBRQ
support. It supports two output channels: one channel supports
the Versatec printer/plotter in either single-ended or
long-lines differential mode, and the second supports any
standard Centronics- or Dataproducts-compatible printer at rates
up to 10,000 lines per minute. The two modes of the first
channel are transparent to the software. The second channel has
automatic printer selection which eliminates the need for
setting switches for either Centronics- or Dataproducts-type
printers.
This board has a self-test feature for both channels that does
not require any software support. The Versatec channel sends a
132-character ASCII string in print mode and a 256-byte pattern
in plot mode. The printer channel sends a 132-character ASCII
string.
DIP switch information:
SW3 8/16-bit I/O, big/little-endian, 8/16-bit addressing, address
Switches 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 should be ON, all others OFF.
SW4 address
Switch 3 OFF, all others ON. Between this and SW3, the base
address is set to 0x0480.
SW5 interrupt priority
Switch 3 ON, all others OFF, for interrupt priority 2.
Floating-point and other system accelerators
--------------------------------------------
370-1021 Sky Floating Point Processor Multibus
This board must not share a Multibus P2 section with any Sun
board which also uses the P2 bus.
This board is an IEEE-compliant floating point coprocessor with
a Weitek chip.
This board has two jumper blocks, JP01 and JP02, in the lower
left corner of the board (with the Multibus edge connector
facing down and the component side facing you). These are
14-position blocks; pin 1 is in the lower left, pin 7 the lower
right, pin 8 the upper right, and pin 14 the upper left.
Jumper information:
JP01 address
As wired by Sky: 1-2 jumped
AS WIRED FOR USE IN A SUN: 1-11 jumped, address 0x2000
JP02 interrupt level
As wired by Sky: 2-6, 4-5 jumped
AS WIRED FOR USE IN A SUN: 1-6, 3-6, 4-5 jumped, interrupt level 2
Power requirements are +5V @ 4A.
Cardcage backplanes
-------------------
501-1090 2/120 Multibus
Nine-slot passive Multibus backplane. Slot 6 must be occupied by
either a monochrome framebuffer board or a P2 terminator board.
Other boards
------------
501-1054 Multibus-VME Adapter
This board/frame accepts a normal Multibus card and connects it
electrically to a VME bus. It has twelve DIP switch blocks, a
PROM socket, and two jumpers, to allow it to be configured for
any particular board. It was initially introduced after the
transition to VME chassis in the Sun-2 era, and adapted Multibus
boards such as the Xylogics 451 SMD disk controller were
supported through the Sun-4 VME models.
DIP switch blocks 1 through 4 determine access to Multibus I/O
space from the VME bus. DIP switch blocks 5 through 8 determine
access to Multibus memory from the VME bus. DIP switch blocks 9
and 10 are unused. DIP switch block 11 is used with 20-bit-DMA
Multibus boards. DIP switch block 12 and the PROM socket map
Multibus interrupts to VME interrupts. The jumper block controls
the multibus BCLK and CCLK.
Multibus I/O space is mapped into the VME 16-bit address space.
Multibus memory space is mapped into the VME 24-bit address
space. Note that the address is the same on both buses (e.g. the
Xylogics 450 appears at Multibus I/O address 0xEE40; therefore
it will appear at VME address 0xEE40 as well).
SW1 Multibus I/O addresses, low
1 unused
2-8 A7-A1 in reverse order (2 is A7, 3 is A6, 8 is A1, etc.)
SW2 Multibus I/O block size, low

etc.)
SW9 Unused

SW11 20-bit-DMA
1-4 A23-A20 in reverse order (1 is A23, 2 is A22, 4 is A20,.
etc.)
5-8 unused
SW12 VME interrupt vector
1-8 Vector, LSB to MSB. Maps all Multibus interrupts to the
same VME vector. Use the PROM to map different Multibus
interrupts to different VME vectors. If the PROM is
installed, all switches in this block must be OFF.
J1 BCLK and CCLK (9.8304MHz)
1-2 jumped to provide Multibus bus clock (BLCK) to the
board, unjumped to not. Most boards require this clock
signal.
3-4 jumped to provide Multibus constant clock (CCLK) to the
board, unjumped to not. Most boards require this clock
signal.
To set the Multibus I/O switches (blocks 1 through 4):
1) Find the block size for your board. If it is not a power of
two, round it up to the nearest power of two.
2) Subtract one and throw away the lowest bit (A0 is not connected
to the switches -- the smallest possible block is two bytes).
3) For each zero bit, turn the corresponding switch ON, and OFF
for each one bit, in SW2 and SW4. Remember that the address
lines are reversed in the switch positions!
4) Find the base address for your board and bitwise-OR it with
the result from step 2, throwing away the lowest bit (A0 is
not connected to the switches).
5) For each zero bit, turn the corresponding switch ON, and OFF
for each one bit, in SW1 and SW3. Remember that the address
lines are reversed in the switch positions!
If you don't want to map any Multibus I/O space, set all
switches in SW1 and SW3 to ON, and SW2 and SW4 to OFF.
To set the Multibus memory switches (blocks 5 through 8):
1) Find the block size for your board. If it is not a power of
two, round it up to the nearest power of two.
2) Throw away the low byte (A0-A7 are not used -- the smallest
address increment is 256 bytes) and subtract one.
3) For each zero bit, turn the corresponding switch ON, and OFF
for each one bit, in SW6 and SW8. Remember that the address
lines are reversed in the switch positions!
4) Find the base address for your board and throw away the low
byte (A0-A7 are not used).
5) Bitwise-OR it with the result from step 2.
6) For each zero bit, turn the corresponding switch ON, and OFF
for each one bit, in SW5 and SW7. Remember that the address
lines are reversed in the switch positions!
If you don't want to map any Multibus memory, set all
switches in SW5 and SW7 to ON, and SW6 and SW8 to OFF.
If the Multibus board is a 24-bit-DMA master, set all switches
in SW11 to OFF. Otherwise, if it is a 20-bit-DMA master, use
switches 1-4 in SW11 to supply the A20-A23 of the DMA address.
As usual, 0 is ON and 1 is OFF. Note that "to access Sun main
memory via DVMA, these bits should be set to zero."
To use SW12 to set the VME interrupt vector, simply set the
desired vector value in the switches. As usual, 0 is ON and 1 is
OFF. To use the PROM to set VME interrupt vectors, program a
32-by-8 bipolar PROM with the vectors for Multibus interrupt
levels 7 through 1 in locations 0 through 6 respectively
(reversed). Note that Multibus interrupt 0 cannot be mapped,
"since the VMEbus has no level 0 interrupt."
Example: the 370-1012 Xylogics 450 SMD disk controller uses no
Multibus memory, has 8 bytes of Multibus I/O at address 0xEE40
(for the first controller), is a 24-bit-DMA board, wants VME
interrupt vector 0x48, and requires BCLK and CCLK. Hence:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
SW1 (un) ON OFF ON ON ON OFF OFF
SW2 (un) ON ON ON ON ON OFF OFF
SW3 OFF OFF OFF ON OFF OFF OFF ON
SW4 -- all ON --
SW5 -- all ON --
SW6 -- all OFF --
SW7 -- all ON --
SW8 -- all OFF --
SW11 -- all OFF --
SW12 ON ON ON OFF ON ON OFF ON
J1 -- pins 1-2, 3-4 jumped --
Example: the 370-0502 (0167?) CPC Tapemaster 1/2" tape
controller uses no Multibus memory, has two bytes of Multibus
I/O at address 0x00A0, is a 20-bit-DMA board, wants VME
interrupt vector 0x60, and requires BCLK and CCLK. Hence:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
SW1 (un) OFF ON OFF ON ON ON ON

501-1483 DC to DC converter for 501-1637 in 3/80
Needed to supply -5V to 501-1637 mgthree framebuffer when
installed in a 3/80 and using a 1600 x 1280 high resolution
monitor.
Has a ten-pin connector (J1) in one corner, with pin 1 squared and
pins numbered by pairs. The -5V output can be measured on pins 1
and 10 (in opposite corner) of J1 and on pins 31 and 63 of the
CPU's P4 connector.
Power requirements of this board with the 501-1637 are +5V @
2.7A.
501-1671 SPARCcenter 2000 system control board
This board provides the hostid, Ethernet address, and possibly
other stuff to the motherboards installed in a SPARCcenter 2000.
It has a 'JTAG' connector at J0101 and a set of eight LEDs, half
yellow and half green. From the yellow end:
SVP Service Processor Attached Y
RST System Reset Y
STP0 Stop Request from CARB0 ASIC Y
STP1 Stop Request from CARB1 ASIC Y
Vbb -12VDC OK G
Vdd +12VDC OK G
Vtt +1.2VDC OK G
Vcc +5VDC OK G
At location U0203 is the EEPROM, a 2K x 8-bit TMS29F816, which
contains the hostid and Ethernet address. This part is not
field-replaceable. If the contents of the system control board
EEPROM are invalid, the values stored in the NVRAM on system
board 0 are used instead, and the yellow LED on the keyswitch
interface board is ON.
The update-system-idprom ROM monitor command downloads the
contents of the system board 0 NVRAM to the EEPROM on the system
control board. At least version 2.11 is required to do this.
To invalidate the contents of the system control board EEPROM,
use the following sequence of commands:
patch noop call update-system-idprom
patch noop call update-system-idprom
patch call noop update-system-idprom
update-system-idprom
501-1979 SPARCserver 1000 system control board
This board provides the hostid, Ethernet address, and possibly
other stuff to the motherboards installed in a SPARCserver 1000.
It has a variety of connectors, and a reset switch in one

IPI
---
IPI stands for Intelligent Peripheral Interface. It moves much of the
low-level I/O processing to the interface controller, relieving the
system CPU of the burden. Disks are daisy-chained as with SCSI, but up
to eight units are supported on one controller. As with SCSI, the chain
must be terminated. The maximum disk tranfer rate is 6M per second.
Note that more than four disks on a controller usually loads it
heavily and can cause the system to be unstable. With high-performance
disks capable of sustained 6M per second transfers, even three can be
too much.

KEYBOARDS
=========
Type 1
------
No information.
Type 2
------
Type 2 keyboards were introduced with the Sun-2 model line (?). They
have large flat areas around the keys and have a distinctive
wedge-shaped profile. They have an RJ connector on the back and connect
to the CPU via an RJ cable. The mouse is completely separate on earlier
models; on later models such as the 2/50, the keyboard and mouse both
connect to an adapter which converts to a DB15. With this adapter, a
type 2 keyboard and Sun-2 mouse can be used with a Sun-3.
Type 3
------
Type 3 keyboards were introduced with the Sun-3 model line (?). They
have much smaller flat areas around the keys than a type 2 and the front
edge is curved downward rather than being a wedge. They connect to the
CPU with a male DB15 on the end of an integral coiled cable. The mouse
plugs into an RJ connector in the back of the keyboard.
Since type 4 keyboards can be used with systems expecting a type 3
(see Misc Q&A #8) with only a connector adapter, presumably type 3
keyboards could be used with systems expecting a type 4.
The pinout of the DB15 connector (on the CPU) is:
1 RxD0 (keyboard) 8 GND
2 GND 9 GND
3 TxD0 (keyboard) 10 VCC
4 GND 11 VCC
5 RxD1 (mouse) 12 VCC
6 GND 14 VCC
7 TxD1 (mouse) 15 VCC
Type 4
------
Type 4 keyboards were introduced with the 3/80, but are mostly used
on Sun-4 systems. They look like IBM PC 101-key keyboards. They have
8-pin DIN connectors on each side. One (doesn't matter which) connects
to a matching connector on the CPU; the mouse plugs into the other.
Type 4 keyboards can be used with systems expecting a type 3 (see
Misc Q&A #8) with only a connector adapter.
The pinout of the DIN-8 connector (female, on the CPU) is:
7 1 GND 5 TxDA (Keyboard)
8 6 2 GND 6 RxDA (Keyboard)
5 4 3 3 Vcc 7 TxDB (Mouse)
2 1 4 RxDB (Mouse) 8 Vcc
Type 4 keyboards come in a variety of layouts for various countries.
The layout code is set with DIP switches hidden on the bottom of the
keyboard and can be retrieved with the KIOCLAYOUT ioctl. The switches
are under a pop-off plastic cover in one of the wells for the flip-down
keyboard feet. With the bottom row of the keyboard toward you and the
keys facing down, the rightmost six DIP switches govern the layout code.
The leftmost switch causes the keyboard to identify itself as a type 3
instead of a type 4, and the remaining switch does nothing (?).
Type 5
------
Type 5 keyboards are used with more recent Sun-4 models.
Type 5 keyboards come in a variety of layouts for various countries,
as well as having a "UNIX" layout which changes the location of the
Control and Escape keys to their accustomed places. Six of the DIP
switches govern the layout code. Type 5 keyboards identify themselves as
type 4.
Type 5 keyboards can be used with systems expecting a type 3 (see
Misc Q&A #8) with only a connector adapter.
Type 5c
-------
Type 5c keyboards are the same as type 5, except that the keyboard
cable is captive.

Ashok Desai no longer maintains the ergonomic keyboard FAQ, but has
kindly donated it for inclusion here:
1. Kinesis Corp.(800-4-KINESIS or 206-402-8100, Fax : 206-402-8181)
Kinesis sells an ergonomic keyboard for $390 and a Sun interface
box for $149. A kit containing both sells for $490. This is a
split keyboard with a fixed position and without tilt or
rotational adjustments. The Sun interface box allows you to plug
the keyboard to any Sun Workstation.
The Kinesis interface box only connects the keyboard. It does
not provide for a mouse or trackball. However, it should work
with any PS/2-compatible keyboard.
The Kinesis keyboard is available on-line in Safe comuting's
Internet store for $331.50.
2. KeyTronic (509-928-8000 or 800-262-6006)
Keytronic sells an IBM compatible PC keyboard called Flex Pro
whBich has the ability to separate the QWERTY section as well as
the ability to adjust tilt and slope.
3. Lexmark, Lexington KY (1-800-438-2468)
Lexmark has IBM compatible keyboard named Select Ease Keyboard,
Model M13(PN 1404600). The retail price is $179 ($199 with
separate numeric keypad) and is available from major computer
stores or directly from Lexmark. It has infinite adjustability
features for the user and includes palm rest. The spacebar is
divided in two halves to provide user the convenience of
"Backspace" function in either half or none.
The company has a free 30-day trial offer. If interested, please
email Chris Stelmack (
[email protected]). Use "Keyboard"
as the subject. Further ordering instructions will be sent to
you.
4. Microsoft
The Natural Ergonomic keyboard retails for $99. It is a split
keyboard without tilt or slope adjustability. A long foot in the
front allows you to have negative tilt. It has IBM PC compatible
interface. You can buy it from any computer retailer. It should
work if connected to a Sun via the Kinesis interface box.
5. Health Care Keyboard Company (414 536-2160)
Health Care Keyboard Company sells a Sun-compatible split
keyboard, part number BPA9902SPK. The retail price is $715. This
keyboard can be split into three pieces and has multiple angular
adjustability through large gears. It won various awards and was
featured on national TV media. THIS DOES NOT NEED A SUN
INTERFACE BOX.
Since input devices in general and ergonomic features in
particular are very subjective to individual user's needs, you
should review the product carefully before making a selection
and investment of money.
For most of the keyboards above, you need an interface box in
order to use it with a Sun. The Kinesis interface box for Suns
should work with any IBM PS/2-compatible keyboard.

In general, some models of trackballs from MicroSpeed (click'n'lock,
S-Trac), ITAC Systems (Mouse-Trak), Rollermouse, Evergreen Systems
(Diamond XX and XL-5), and Logitech are supposed to be Sun-compatible.
The Logitech Trackman Mouse model T-CB1 is plug compatible with type 4
and 5 keyboards. According to Logitech, this model were OEM made for Sun
at their request.
A Sun-compatible mechanical mouse (CP-1) is available as an x-option
(X494 A) on the SMCC price list.
A Sun-compatible trackball is available from Kalleen's Computer
Products @ 1-800-262-1010 (PN CHP RM400-515, $94.32).
MONITORS
========
Monitor standards
-----------------
TTL MONO
These are used with very early Sun-2 monochrome video cards. Digital
signals. DB9 connectors.
ECL/TTL MONO
Only the video signals are ECL level; the sync signals are still TTL
level. Digital signals. DB9 connectors.
These are used with later Sun-2 monochrome video cards, Sun-3
monochrome video, and Sun-4 monochrome video; probably Sun-386i
monochrome video as well. They connect to the video system via a DB-9.
The pinout of the DB-9 (on the video system) is:
1 VIDEO+ 6 VIDEO-
3 HSYNC 7 GND
4 VSYNC 8 GND
9 GND
There are two standard resolutions, 1152 by 900 (normal) and 1600 by
1280 (high). Until recently, the standard scanning frequencies for
normal resolution were 61.8KHz horizontal and 66Hz vertical. The
standard scanning frequencies for high resolution are 89.3KHz
horizontal, 67Hz vertical.
GRAYSCALE
Grayscale monitors may be connected to mg-style monochrome or to
color framebuffers. They use analog signals. When connected to a color
framebuffer, the green signal is normally the one used.
COLOR
"4BNC" connectors are, as might be expected, four BNC connectors:
red, green, blue, and sync. "13W3" is an unusual connector combining a
10-pin D-shell and analog three video conductors:
gray/ 1 gnd*
red * * green blue 2 vertical sync*
| 1o 2o 3o 4o 5o | | 3 sense #2
(O) (O) (O) 4 sense gnd
6o 7o 8o 9o 10o 5 composite sync
* * 6 horizontal sync*
7 gnd*
* Considered obsolete, may not be 8 sense #1
connected. 9 sense #0
10 composite gnd
The codes for the three monitor-sense bits are:
0 ??? 4 1152 x 900 76Hz 19"
1 reserved 5 reserved
2 1280 x 1024 76Hz 6 1152 x 900 76Hz 16-17"

FLOPPY DRIVES

TAPE DRIVES
===========
Formats
-------
9-TRACK
Half-inch reel-to-reel tapes.
QIC-11
Quarter-inch cartridge tapes, maximum capacity 20M. The standard tape
drive for Sun-2's. Four tracks.
QIC-24
Quarter-inch cartridge tapes, maximum capacity 60M. The standard tape
drive for Sun-3's. Nine tracks. Can also read and write QIC-11 tapes.
Note that there were actually two QIC-11 formats, one with only four
tracks (capacity 20M) and an extended one with nine tracks, which had
the same capacity as QIC-24 but slightly different formatting. SunOS
allows selection of QIC-24 or QIC-11 (by using different entries in
/dev) when using a QIC-24 drive, but does not distinguish between the
two varieties of QIC-11; if you write past the end of track four, a real
QIC-11 drive will not be able to read all the data. In general, this
doesn't matter unless you want to read the tape on a real QIC-11 drive,
or sometimes when making boot tapes.
QIC-150
Quarter-inch cartridge tapes, maximum capacity 150M. Can read QIC-24
(and QIC-11?) tapes, but cannot write them (?).

Cardcage configuration tables
-----------------------------
How to use the cardcage configuration tables:
Boards are listed in order of priority, from top to bottom. If two
boards would prefer to be installed in the same slot, whichever board is
toward the top of the table wins, unless the lower board cannot be
installed in any other slot.
Many boards can be installed in any of several slots. The most
desirable slot is indicated with "A", the second most desirable with
"B", and so on.
Note that many boards are unfortunately not listed. Also note that
these are only the official Sun-recommended board orders (except where
specifically noted); in many cases boards will work in other slots.
Consult the listings for the individual boards. Note that memory boards
usually need to be in the recommended positions, since there is usually
a special memory bus in the backplane to which all memory boards must
connect.
Note that the configurations below represent the cardcage tables
dated 6/8/88. Sometimes there are major changes in preferred slots
between cardcage table revisions. If you think you need an older version
(5/13/87 is available), send me email (remind me that 5/13/87 is in
revision 1.1 of part 7, please).

VME
Note that VME cards frequently have "springfingers" on their rear
edges, metal strips that are installed between the edge of the PC board
and the outer panel to reduce RFI emissions, with serrated metal
"fingers" protruding from either side of the strip. If a board with
springfingers is installed next to a board without springfingers, there
must be a plastic insulator shield over the fingers on the side toward
the fingerless board, to prevent possible shorting of component leads to
the springfingers.
VME cardcages (except for the 2/50 and the 3/75) also have jumpers on
the backplane itself, one set per slot, which must be set appropriately
for the board in the corresponding slot. These jumpers are marked Px0y,
where x is the number of the slot and y is the number of the jumper.
Jumpers Px00, Px01, and Px02 must always be installed in normal use.
Jumpers Px03 (BG3) and Px04 (IACK) are installed according to the board
in the slot, and always installed for empty slots. Note that 2/130 and
2/160 systems shipped before 11/1/85 did not have these jumpers
installed by default. The highest-numbered slot is usually (always?)
missing Px04. Note that the jumpers are usually (always?) on the
opposite side of the backplane from the VME connectors and are usually
(always?) accessed via a panel in the front of the machine.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ALM AND MCP PRODUCTS
The 501-1203 ALM-2 shares VME vector interrupt assignments with the
501-1157 (-1165 also?) ALM-1 and the 501-1221 MCP. The ALM-2 also shares
VME address space with the MCP. There may also be a problem with
physical space in the chassis.
If three ALM-1s with their associated MUX boxes are already
installed, there is no room to mount the ALM-2's Device Connector
Assembly (DCA). Fortunately, it is possible to mount the DCA to the
wall, floor, or anywhere else convenient.
The ALM-2 and the MCP have exactly the same vector interrupt
assignments. The ALM-1 has vector interrupt assignments that occupy the
same range but are in the opposite order, as shown below:
board number device entry ALM-1 vector ALM-2/MCP vector
------------ ------------ ------------ ----------------
1st 0 0x88 0x8B
2nd 1 0x89 0x8A
3rd 2 0x8A 0x89
4th 3 0x8B 0x88
To avoid conflicts, follow these rules:
1) No more than four ALM-1, ALM-2, or MCP boards total may be
installed in a single cardcage.
2) When installing ALM-2s or MCPs, the boards must be installed in
the proper address order, counting all boards of either type previously
installed. This ensures that no ALM-2s or MCPs will attempt to use the
same vector interrupt. For example, if an ALM-2 is installed and you
wish to install an MCP, it must be installed as the *second* MCP, not
the first. If it is installed as the first, it will attempt to use the
same vector interrupt as the existing ALM-2.
3) Because the ALM-1 vector interrupt assignments are the reverse of
the others, any ALM-1 boards must be installed in their normal order,
counting *only* ALM-1s. This ensures that as long as no more than four
boards total of any of these kinds are installed, the ALM-1s will never
use the same part of the range as the ALM-2s and MCPs.
4) Additionally, the ALM-2 and MCP occupy identical addresses in the VME
address space, and both use /dev entries of mcp0 through mcp3. Each
additional board installed uses the next available entry, regardless of
the type (ALM-2 or MCP, but not ALM-1) of the boards installed
previously. The addresses must also be set (via jumpers or switches?) on
the boards -- as stated in rule 2, the board must be installed counting
all boards of either type previously installed.
5) For deskside systems that support the ALM-1, only one such board
may coexist in the cardcage with ALM-2 and/or MCP boards.

Repairs and modifications
-------------------------
These instructions have been garnered from various sources on the net
and COME WITH NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER. IF YOU TRY A PROCEDURE DESCRIBED
HERE AND TRASH YOUR HARDWARE OR YOURSELF, OR ANYTHING ELSE BAD HAPPENS,
IT'S YOUR PROBLEM. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
1) Toasted serial ports on a 3/60
There are two RS-232 UARTs on the motherboard, one for the
keyboard/mouse and one for the two serial ports. On at least one
revision of the motherboard, these UARTs are Zilog Z85C008PSC
chips socketed in locations U400 and U401. However, the chips
more likely to be fried are the driver chips, which are right
behind the serial ports on the motherboard, and are labelled on
the bottom of the motherboard: U409 (26LS29), U411 (26LS29),
U406 (26LS32), U413 (26LS32), and U407 (26LS32). If replacing
these chips doesn't help matters, the capacitors (U412) near
these chips are also prone to failure. Additionally, there is a
resistor pack for each port (R401 and R402) which may be
suspect.
2) Philips monochrome monitor repair
Components likely to fail:
the flyback transformer (available from Sun)
capacitor C209 (replace with 10uF tantalum, 35-50V)
capacitor C207 (replace with temperature-stable
1000pF (0.001uF) capacitor)
In addition, the following capacitors have failed at one time or
another on various monitors:
C205, C412, C401, C315, C318
C421 (replace with cap rated for 63V or better)
The R215 and R216 470-ohm vitreous-coated wirewound resistors
run very hot and may split. They also get very delicate and may
fail if bumped.
3) Clock speed/chip upgrades to a 3/60:
From Craig Dewick:
The standard 3/60 has a 40Mhz master clock which is divided by
two to get the CPU clock. One of the fortunate design quirks of
the 3/60's for us hacker-types is that everything has its own
oscillator. There's the master 40Mhz oscillator for the bulk of
the major computing hardware, a 20Mhz clock for the ethernet
hardware, another oscillator for the serial port controllers,
and yet another one for the real time clock.
As for interchanging chip types, 68881 and 68882 math
coprocessors are completely interchangable. I'm running a 68020
with a 68882 in my 3/60 and there are no compatibility problems.
However, putting in a 68030 requires soldering in a new socket
next to where the 68020 currently sits (since a 68030 has more
pins).
Actually you will find that there is virtually no performance
increase by replacing the 68020 with a 68030 because [even] if
there is a hacked kernel that works with a 68030 on a 3/60
board, it can't use any of the special features of the 68030
(like the MMU cache) which the 68020 doesn't have since the 3/60
doesn't have the required support hardware to use it (neither
does the 3/80, BTW).
The only performance increase you'll get is by swapping out the
master oscillator for faster one. My machine works fine with a
50Mhz one, but some people have reported problems using 50Mhz
and have had to be satisfied with 48Mhz instead.
The only Sun-3 machines which make use of the 68030's extra
features are the [3/4xx models], which are rackmounted,
VME-based monsters, but good quality machines nonetheless.
[...]
About a year ago I upgraded my 3/60 to run the CPU and math
coprocessor at 25Mhz instead of 20MHz. It's an easy mod to do
providing you can get a 25Mhz rated CPU and coprocessor, and you
can find a place selling 50MHz can oscillators.
You may need to replace the 100ns SIMMs with faster ones as
well. I did when I upgraded my machine, but others report no
problems with the faster clock speed.
4) Upgrading a 501-1102 8M VME memory board to 501-1102-11:
From Gary W. Cook:
[Don't know what the starting -zz should be for this mod to
work.]
Lift pin 9 of IC U0108 at location E29, then install a jumper
wire from the lifted pin to pin 9 of IC U0103 at location J31.
Part number index
-----------------
Sun part numbers have up to four sections, xxx-yyyy-zz Rev ?.
xxx is the commodity code, a three digit number which indicates a
major grouping of part types, although the grouping isn't perfect. yyyy
is a four digit number which indicates the individual part. zz is the
two-digit dash number, and ? is a letter which between them indicate the
revision level of the part. The parts are indexed below by the first two
sections only, with a few exceptions where the dash number zz is needed.
Note that 270- parts are the raw PWBs before components are added.
Generally the corresponding assembled PWA has the same four-digit
number, but a commodity code of 501-. Hence, if all you can find on a
board is a 270- part number, try looking under 501-. With only a few
exceptions 270- parts are not indexed below.
100- parts are ICs, but some small regulator ICs are under 160-. 270-
parts are PWBs, 501- parts are PWAs or may be larger assemblies of other
501- parts. 520- through 529- parts are 100- parts with programming
installed. 530- parts are cables.
Note that these part numbers have been gleaned from all over,
including a lot of for-sale postings on the net. Take them with a grain
of salt.
A '*' between the part number and the description means that more
extensive information on the part is available elsewhere in this
document.

Author's Notes
--------------
I have SunOS 2.0, 2.2 (upgrade from 2.0), 3.2, 3.4 (upgrade from
3.2), 3.5, 4.0, and 4.0.3 for Sun-2's. If you have SunOS 1.x on QIC-11
(20M) cartridge tapes, I would like to get a copy. If you need boot
tapes in QIC-11 (20M) format, I can provide the version (2.x or 3.x) of
your choice for the cost of tapes and shipping. The copies of SunOS 4.x
that I have are on QIC-24 (60M) tapes. So far, I have not been able to
install 4.x on my 2/120's for various reasons; even with a ROM version
which can boot from a QIC-24 drive, something fails (boot error, no disk
formatter, miniroot won't boot, whatever).
