Caution – Use OBP version 4.22.24 or greater on systems equipped with 2100 MHz
CPU/Memory modules. Loading an earlier version of OBP on these systems makes
them unbootable.

Note – Use RSC version 2.2.3 Patch 06 or later on systems equipped with 2100 MHz
CPU/Memory modules. Earlier versions of RSC may report false temperature errors
for the 2100 MHz CPU/Memory modules.

Supported Mixed-Speed Configurations
Note – The 1200 MHz and 1350 MHz CPU/Memory modules use UltraSPARC IV
architecture. The 1500 MHz and 1800 MHz modules use UltraSPARC IV+
architecture, as indicated in the tables.

Note – Systems equipped with 2100 MHz CPU/Memory modules do not support
mixed-speed configurations.
The following tables list the various mixed-speed configurations of CPU/Memory
modules currently supported on the Sun Fire V490 and the Sun Fire V890 servers.
TABLE 2 shows the mixed-speed configurations supported on V490 servers. TABLE 3
shows the supported mixed-speed configurations for two CPU/Memory modules in
V890 servers. Likewise, TABLE 4 and TABLE 5 respectively show supported mixedspeed configurations for three and four CPU/Memory modules on V890 servers.
The different configuration possibilities are presented in separate tables in this way
to simplify the search for specific configurations.

Sun Fire V490/V890 CPU/Memory Module Configuration Guide

Note – All V490 and V890 mixed-speed configurations are based on the simple ruleof-thumb of populating the chassis slots from bottom to top in ascending order of
clock speed. In other words, lower speed boards should always be below higher
speed boards and empty slots should always be above filled slots.

Identifing the Speed of CPU/Memory Modules
The speed of recently manufactured UltraSPARC IV and all UltraSPARC IV+
CPU/Memory modules appears on a label on the front edge of the board. It is
visible through the plastic shroud when the board is installed in its slot. Speed is
listed in GHz, for example: 1.35 GHz.

If your CPU/Memory module does not have a label, use the prtdiag -v
command. It lists the speed of the module located in each slot of the server, for
example:
# prtdiag -v
System Configuration: Sun Microsystems
System clock frequency: 150 MHz
Memory size: 24576 Megabytes

Alternatively, if you have not yet booted the Solaris OS, you can use the .speed
command at the OK prompt to display the speed of the CPU/Memory modules
installed on your system.

Note – The 2100 MHz CPU/Memory modules can also be identified by the color of
their ejector levers, which is gray. All other CPU/Memory modules have green
ejector levers.

Additional Information for 2100 MHz
CPU/Memory Modules
Sun Fire V490/V890 servers shipped with 2100 MHz CPU/Memory modules are
factory upgraded to support the additional power of the 2100 MHz UltraSPARC IV+
processors. For more information on the software requirements and hardware
upgrades for 2100 MHz systems, see the Sun Fire V490/V890 Systems with
UltraSPARC IV+ 2100 MHz CPU/Memory Modules Supplement, located online at:
