Sun Enterprise 450 System

The Sun Enterprise 450 system server, based on the UltraSPARC-II(TM) processor, is designed for mid-range server markets that require large amounts of local disk storage with fast or multiple I/O channels to clients or to the network.

Software features are:

• Support for RAID 1 (disk mirroring), RAID 3 (striping data and parity across drive groups) and RAID 5 (hot spares for FC-AL disk drives)

• System performance and configuration monitors

• Automated hardware failure notification

• Error and panic logging

• Temperature sensing and fan control

• Backup power supply failure detection

• Hot sparing support

• Automatic fault detection, response, and recovery

• Logging file systems

Hardware features are:

• 10 PCI slots supporting up to 10 full size PCI cards (seven regular PCI slots and three enhanced PCI slots)

• Up to sixteen SIMM slots, which support 32, 64, 128 or 256 Mbyte SIMMs totalling up to 4 Gbytes of memory capacity

• 10/100 Mbit Ethernet

• 20 Mbyte/second Fast Wide SCSI

• Up to four CPU modules (UltraSPARC-II)

• Up to twenty hot swappable FC-AL disks and up to two 1.6-inch high SCSI disks that provide up to 84 Gbytes internal storage

• Up to 6 Terabytes of external disk storage

• 1.44 Mbyte diskette drive

• 644 Mbyte CD-ROM drive

• Two 5 1/4-inch bays for optional tape backup

• Two high speed synchronous/asynchronous serial ports

• Up to three redundant hot swapable power supplies, which can be added one at a time to improve reliability and provide growth as needed

• Supports rack mounting allowing the system to integrate easily into a computer room environment

You can attach up to two external tape devices or a single size or twelve drive Sun StorEdge MuliPack to the SCSI port. You can attach additional tape or disk devices by installing PCI host adapter cards. If you require large amounts of disk storage, you can also attach the Sun StorEdge A3000 subsystem to the system that provides a reduntant array of inexpensive disks (RAID).
