Chapter 1 System Overview 1-3

The environmental requirements listed in TABLE 1-2 reflect the test results of the

server. The optimum conditions indicate the recommended operating environment.

Operating the server for extended periods at or near the operating range limits or

installing the server in an environment where it remains at or near the non-operating

range limits could possibly increase the failure rate of hardware components

significantly. In order to minimize the occurrence of system failure due to

component failure, set temperature and humidity in the optimal ranges.

1.3 Components

The components of both midrange servers are described in the following sections:

■ Section 1.3.1, “Motherboard Unit” on page 1-10

■ Section 1.3.2, “CPU Module” on page 1-11

■ Section 1.3.3, “Memory Board” on page 1-13

1.3.1 Motherboard Unit

The motherboard unit (FIGURE 1-6) is the main circuit board in both midrange servers.

The following components connect to the motherboard unit:

■ CPU modules (two CPU chips per module)

■ Memory boards

■ Bus bar, I/O backplane, and power backplane unit (SPARC Enterprise M5000

server only)
