Chapter 1 System Overview 3

External multi-disk storage subsystems and RAID storage arrays can be supported

by installing single-channel or multi-channel PCI host adapter cards along with the

appropriate system software. Software drivers supporting SCSI and other types of

devices are included in the Solaris

operating environment.

A 1.44-Mbyte, 3.5-inch diskette drive and 12x CD-ROM drive are standard on the

Ultra Enterprise 450 server. The CD-ROM drive has multimedia features which

include multi-session capability and fast access (12X-speed) for image and

video data.

A 5.25-inch half-height (1.6-inch) bay is provided at the front of the system, which

may be used to house a narrow SCSI (50-pin) tape drive, such as an 8-mm tape,

a 4-mm DDS-2 or DDS-3 tape, or a quarter-inch cassette tape drive.

Up to two external tape devices can be attached to the standard 68-pin Fast/Wide

SCSI port provided on the system’s rear panel. Additional external tape devices can

be supported with appropriate PCI host adapter cards.

The Ultra Enterprise 450 server can easily be connected to either a 10-Mbps or a

100-Mbps Ethernet by means of an auto-sensing Ethernet interface provided on the

system’s main logic board. Additional Ethernet interfaces or connections to other

networks, such as FDDI, ATM, or token ring, can be provided by installing the

appropriate PCI interface cards. For more information, see “Administration and

Networking” on page 323.

The system console device can be either a standard ASCII character terminal or a

local windowing subsystem. The ASCII terminal connects to the system’s standard

serial port, while a local graphics console requires installation of a PCI frame buffer

card, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. System administration can also be performed

from a remote workstation connected to the Ethernet.

The Ultra Enterprise 450 server provides two serial communications ports, one

synchronous/asynchronous port and one asynchronous-only port, through a single,

shared DB-25 connector located on the rear panel. It also provides one external,

2-Mbyte per second, bidirectional, Centronics-compatible, EPP parallel port for

connecting the system to a local printer or other compatible parallel device.

Power is provided by one or two 560-watt power supplies. Up to three of these

modular units can be installed, providing both N+1 redundancy and full hot swap

capability. For more information about the power supplies, see “About Power

Supplies” on page 64.

The Ultra Enterprise 450 server can easily be installed in a standard 19-inch rack

without any physical reconfiguration or removal of any panels. An optional rack-

mounting kit is available for installing the server into any 29- to 34-inch deep EIA

19-inch rack with at least 23 inches of vertical mounting space and sufficient load-

bearing capacity. The rack-mounting kit comprises a depth-adjustable, slide-

mounted tray with retaining brackets. The system is simply placed on the tray and

secured into place with the brackets supplied in the kit. Due to the substantial
