    • 400MHz Intro Q & A

     

    Q. What is required to use the new 400-MHz, 2-MB module?
     
    A. The 400-MHz, 2-MB module is supported in Sun Enterprise 250 servers.
       It is available both as a factory-configured option and as an
       X-option for new Sun Enterprise 250 servers.  It can be purchased as
       a factory-installed or field-installed upgrade.
     
    Q. Can users of existing Sun Enterprise 250 servers upgrade to the
       400-MHz module?
     
    A. Yes, all existing Sun Enterprise 250 users can install a 400-MHz
       module.  Upgraded systems require a new module and replacement of
       two card guides, to be included in every module upgrade.
     
    Q. Current Sun Enterprise 250 systems meet FCC Class B EMC
       requirements.  Will this be true of new systems purchased with
       400-MHz modules?
     
    A. Yes.  FCC EMC requirements are designed to ensure that radio
       frequency energy emitted by electrical equipment used in residences
       does not interfere with radio and television reception.  New Sun
       Enterprise 250 servers will meet FCC Class B EMC requirements.
     
    Q. Will systems upgraded to the 400-MHz module meet FCC Class B EMC
       requirements?
    A. No.  Upgraded Sun Enterprise 250 systems will meet FCC Class A EMC
       requirements.  To maintain FCC Class B EMC compliance, customers
       will need to upgrade their Sun Enterprise 250 chassis.
     
    Q. Are software changes required for the 400-MHz processor?
     
    A. No, there are no software changes required when a 400-MHz processor
       is installed in an Sun Enterprise 250 server.  The Sun Enterprise 250
       will continue to fully support the Solaris 2.5.1, Solaris 2.6, and
       Solaris 7 Operating Environments.
     
    Q. What kind of performance improvements can users expect with a
       400-MHz module?

    A. Performance data is not available at this time.  Sun expects to
       publish validated SPECweb data soon.

    Q. Can the 400-MHz, 2-MB module be used in the Sun Enterprise 2
       server?

    A. No.  The 400-MHz, 2-MB module has not been tested on the Sun
       Enterprise 2 server.

    Q. Is the 400-MHz module now being announced the same module that is
       supported on the Sun Enterprise 450 server?

    A. No.  The 400-MHz module supported on the Sun Enterprise 450 server
       has 4 MB of external cache.  The Sun Enterprise 250 server supports a
       400-MHz processor with 2 MB of external cache.
