Functional Description

System Overview
The Enterprise 6500, 5500, and 4500 servers all use variations of the same general
card cage design. All systems feature shared-memory multiprocessors and use the
same boards, power/cooling modules (PCMs), and operating software.
B.1.1
Board Types
All systems use the same board types, with the exception of load boards and filler
panels.
1. The CPU/ board supports up to two UltraSPARC II modules and 16
SIMM slots.
2. The SBus+ I/O board includes two SYSIO ASICs that provide two SBuses: one for
two plug-in SBus cards and two GBIC (100 MB/sec Fibre Channel) interfaces, and
one for one plug-in SBus card and the onboard devices (10/100 Mbit TPE and
Single-ended Fast/Wide SCSI).
3. The G I/O board includes one SYSIO ASIC that provides a single SBus
for two plug-in SBus cards, two GBIC (100 MB/sec Fibre Channel) interfaces, and
the onboard devices (10/100 Mbit TPE and Single-ended Fast/Wide SCSI).
4. The PCI+ I/O board has two PCI bus connectors, each of which can accommodate
a PCI riser card. Each riser card accommodates one PCI short card. In addition,
onboard devices provide Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbit) and Fast/Wide SCSI
interfacing.
