Information on Sun Ultra 5/10 PSU regarding 6-pin AUX power connector

I've been messing around and reviving my old Ultra 5 and Ultra 10 machines. I've been considering upgrading the ATX power supply to something more modern, quiet, and 80Plus. From the hardware documentation, I have already confirmed that the 20-pin ATX main power connector is exactly as specified for ATX v1.3. So, any modern ATX PSU with a 20-pin or 20+4-pin main power connector should suffice in that area. However, on the Ultra 10, the 6-pin AUX power is also used. I'm guessing this is probably to power the UPA graphics stuff (Creator3D/Elite3D/etc.) since the Ultra 5 has the connector on the motherboard but the PSU doesn't supply any power to that 6-pin.
Looking at the 6-pin connector, it is orange-orange-orange-black-black-black. Typically, on PC hardware, this 6-pin is red-orange-orange-black-black-black. Does this mean Sun used a slighty different 6-pin AUX? I.e., instead of 2x 3.3V + 1x 5V line, does Sun use 3x 3.3V lines? I suppose I can just measure it, but it would be nice to have a 2nd opinion just so when I do measure it, I have some confirmation of what i'm seeing from someone else.
As FYI for anyone else, the U5 with a 10K RPM SCSI disk and 'glm' based SCSI controller draws only 60-65W, while the U10 with Elite3D draws almost 130W!!!! I'm hoping i can find an appropriately spec'd modern PSU since the power requirements on these things are so low!

four of the eight connector receptacles are blocked with a removable piece of plastic. Why is this?
You can safely remove the cap and use the additional four pins, if your power supply has a proper connector.  Four of the eight pins are covered to avoid confusion with PSUs that only have a 4-pin connector.

Problem 2: PSU-mainboard compatibility
The Enermaxx  LIBERTY DXX 620 SLI (ELT620AWT-00) is listed in the MSI PSU compatibility list.  It does not have a -5V-rail either.  You should be fine.

Problem 3: PCIe power connector
Use one of the 6-pin connectors of your PSU. That way you can make sure that the power load is balanced.  Those adaptors are usually for PSU that do not provide 6-pin PCIe-plugs.

  • Sun Ultra 1 model 140E specifications

    Does anyone know the disk drive height limitation of Sun Ultra model 140E? What are the disk drive interfaces supported by it? I'm having a hard time looking for documents indicating Sun Ultra 1 model 140E's specifications and limitations.

    Hello John,
    That's exactly the kind of attitude that I got from the Linux crowd
    this is probably a misunderstanding !
    I read his inquiries, posted answers, then reviewed his profile (Recent Messages) and realized that he asked exactly this kind of questions before. He got very detailed answers from haroldb and me (I re-activated my second screen name due to the announced changes regarding case sensitive screen names).
    These forums are user-to-user, not paid Sun support. One of the prequisites is to investigate before asking.
    I try to provide background information (links to the source of information) instead of just a brief answer. It's worth the effort to tell how and where to locate information ("Teach people how to fish instead of just feed them").
    What do you think, which answer takes more time for me ?
    fast scsi disks with SCA connector, 1" height.

    Hello,
    I don't think it is a kernel problem but a h/ware problem.
    CPU 1 reported an ecache (sram) data parity event,
    the fault handling code in 5.9 can't do anything about the
    error as it is in a page belonging to a user process so it reboots the box.
    The no error found in ecache means that either the
    fault handling code displaced the error from the cache or there
    wasn't one and you had a transient transport error between the
    cache and the cpu.
    I would engage your h/ware support vendor to work out what h/ware component is broken as these things are quite complex, but the score of 95 would (to a h/ware novice like me) point to cpu 1 being the culprit - but check with an expert.

  • Yet Another CD-ROM problem Sun ultra 10

    Hello There.
    I just got a Sun ultra 10 and I am trying to install Solaris 10 on it using the original DVD that I got from sun.
    However when i try running a boot cdrom at the ok prompt I see that it cannot read the label.
    Im sure it is because it is a DVD and not a CD. Isn't it?
    Can the sun ultra 10's CD reader read a DVD..i dont think so.
    By the way is there a work around for this.
    Is there a way to boot from the network. I am pretty new to the sparc platform and id love to have a simple How-to about booting from the network.
    I have a 10 Mbps LAN connection at home with Dynamic IP addressing.
    Hope to hear from you,
    Aijaz.

    hmmm..interesting.
    I do not seem to have a spare DVD drive at the moment. Can i not connect an xternal DVD drive to that machine?
    Additionally it says that the openboot version of the box is 3,19 and I wonder if it shud be at 3,3 inorder to have the proper install of the solaris 10.
    Hope to hear from you soon,
    regards
    Aijaz.

  • Basic networking - getting a Sun Ultra 10 on my home network

    Hello,
    I have a Sun Ultra 10 at home running Solaris 8.
    I am trying to teach myself a bit about networking so I thought I would try to get the box online. I am having little success. Hopefully someone will tell me where I'm going wrong. Here's what I've done:
    - Created /etc/hostname.hme0 with entry "mymachine" (without the quotes)
    - Edited /etc/hosts so that its contents are:
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    192.168.1.110 mymachine loghost
    My documentation states that the fully qualified domain name should appear on the second of the above 2 lines, but I don't have a "mycompany.com" type domain thing, so I'm not sure what I should put, if anything?
    - verified that /etc/nodename contains the single line:
    mymachine
    - created /etc/defaultrouter with sinlge line entry:
    192.168.0.1
    This is the IP of my broadband router.
    When I rebooted the machine, an ifconfig -a reported an IP of 127.0.0.1 against hme0. That seemed odd (given that I put the IP in the hosts file) so I ran:
    ifconfig hme0 plumb
    ifconfig hme0 192.168.1.110 up
    and ifconfig -a then reported that the IP of hme0 was 192.168.0.1.
    However, I cannot ping 192.168.0.1. I get "ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway 192.168.1.110 for icmp 192.168.1.110 to 192.168.0.1".
    I think it is quite likely that my problem is hardware. I have a network cable running from the network port on my Ultra 10 to port 3 on my 4 port hub (I've tried 1,2, and 3). Port 4 is the Normal/Uplink. I have a cable running from a port on my broadband router to port 4 on the hub. The port is set to "Normal" rather than Uplink. The Rx light flashes on port 4 - but not on port 3.
    I'd be extremely grateful for any pointers on this!
    Regards,
    Paul

    I changed the IP on my Solaris box to 192.168.0.110 and all was well. Well, I can get onto the internet now, and can see my Windows boxes from my Solaris box, but oddly I can't see (using ping) my Solaris box from my Windows box.

  • Hard disk problem after installing Solaris 10 u5 on a Sun Ultra 24

    Hi.
    After receiving a new Sun Ultra 24, shipped with Solaris 10 u4, the first thing I did was installing Solaris 10 u5. X wouldn't start but that was not a big problem and installed it in text mode. Installation went fine but, when the system starts, a single beep is heard and after some seconds some warning message appear on the console, before the "Hostname: ..." message, informing that some read operation on my hard disk had timed out and were aborted. The system then starts up normally. The only other anomaly is that the diagnostic partition in unbootable.
    I ran the hard disk tests from the tools and drivers CDs and all of the tests were passed. Solaris 10 u4 was working normally so I'm wondering if this may be a bug.
    Thanks for your help,
    Enrico.

    Thanks anyway, I discovered what the problem was: a bug in Solaris 10 u5:

  • Parallel port programming for a Sun Ultra 5 running Solaris 8

    Hi I'm trying to look for information about reading/writing to the parallel port of a Sun Ultra 5 running Solaris 8. I'd just like to see some basic programs written in C, nothing fancy, just reading and wrting to the port, getting the port address etc. toggling the lines.
    I've tried searching for this information and there is plenty of information about PC parallel port programming with windows or Linux. But there seems to be little for Sun's
    I've tried doing 'man ecpp' but that doesn't really give any clear example. What I need is an idiots guide.
    I've tried searching this Forum and I see that other people have asked the same question before but no one has replied to them. Why is this?
    Thanks if you can help.
    fishman.

    The key is gettting the port into diag mode. Here's a quickly little example that turns all the data pins on and then turns them off:
    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <sys/conf.h>
    #include <sys/stat.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <stropts.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <sys/ecppio.h>
    int fd = 0;
    // ecpp structures
    ecpp_transfer_parms etp;
    ecpp_regs eregs;
    // returns -1 if error otherwise returns fd
    int openoutput()
    fd = open("/dev/ecpp0",O_RDWR);
    if (fd==-1) { return -1; }
    // default is 90
    etp.write_timeout = 10;
    // the big secret
    etp.mode = ECPP_DIAG_MODE;
    ioctl(fd,ECPPIOC_SETPARMS,&etp);
    return fd;
    unsigned char in()
    unsigned char data;
    // from the man pages
    ioctl(fd,ECPPIOC_GETREGS,&eregs);
    data = eregs.dsr;
    return data;
    void out( unsigned char data )
    write(fd,&data,1);
    int main( void )
    int dummy;
    openoutput();
    //all data pins on
    out( 255 );
    scanf("%d", &dummy);
    //all data pins off
    out( 0 );
    scanf("%d", &dummy);
    close( fd );
    return 0;
    }

  • Upgrade for Sun Ultra 60 without DVD--Act II?

    29 January 2012
    As I previously marked the original version of this question as Answered, let me return to it in a new thread. I have a Sun Ultra 60 Workstation running Solaris 9, and I wish to upgrade it to Solaris 10 (8/11 version). It will not take Solaris 11. But Solaris 10 only comes as a 2GB .iso image suitable for DVD, not CD. This machine has no DVD burner or reader.
    User abrante (Magnus) suggested using lofiadd -a to interpret the .iso file as a logical device, mount the logical device on the system, then use Live Upgrade to create a Solaris 10 boot environment from the image. This all works, except for the last step. I can mount the .iso image as an ordinary file system, and browse through it in the usual way. I was able to load the Live Upgrade software via pkgadd. I was even able to run the Installer executable on the image, direct from the command line. This installed the Live Upgrade software again, but would not install anything else. And the kicker--the Live Upgrade software would not recognize the interpreted image as a Boot Environment. For that matter, it would not recognize the original boot environment on the system as a boot environment. For example:
    unknown# lucurr
    ERROR: No boot environments are configured on this system
    ERROR: cannot determine boot environment name for mount point </>
    unknown# lustatus
    ERROR: No boot environments are configured on this system
    ERROR: cannot determine list of all boot environment names
    This is rather odd, as the system does boot to a working Solaris 9 system. Trying to use the .iso image--mounted on /mnt--as a source for lucreate gets
    ERROR: source bot environment </mnt> does not exist.
    ERROR: cannot create new boot environment using options provided.
    OK, so what's the missing trick? How do I get the Live Upgrade software to recognize boot environments, and in particular how do I get it to recognize the .iso image interpreted by lofi?
    Many thanks for your further assistance.
    Sincerely,
    Ian H. Redmount

    Hello, Ian.
    I am a happy owner of the old decent Ultra 10, the junior sibling of your Ultra 60. I faced the same problem with Solaris 11 11/11 Error: 'SUNW, UltraSPARC-IIi' is not supported by this release of Solaris. And I have a couple of solutions for you.
      1.  Buy a DVD drive :). I confirm that at least Solaris 10 update 7 installs from DVD and then runs on Ultra 10 flawlessly (I didnt' try current update 10). The only trick is: discard regular Ultra's 40-wire IDE cable, replace it with modern 80-wire one.
      2.  Download Solaris 11 Express (2010/11). I confirm it installs and runs on Ultra 10 flawlessly. Yes, it is n/a on the Oracle web site, but still easily available in torrent networks. Search for "Solaris 11 Express 2010.11", and you will find many torrents. You need "sol-11-exp-201011-text-sparc.iso" (452M) CD image. I believe that downloading Solaris 11 Express is legal.
    One more thing - sometimes installer forgets to write a boot block on boot disk, and you may need to run installboot manually after installation.

  • Two internal hard-disk on sun Ultra 5 ??

    Hi,
    Can sun ultra 5 handle two internal hard-disk?
    If it is possible, how can this be done?
    Thanks on the sharing...
    Best regards ,
    jhayi

    it should go where the floppy is/would be... you just need a different ide cable...
    and remember the cable select or master/slave jumper settings... and the 137 gig hd size limitation!

  • Sun Ultra 40 Suppl. CD V1.3 Bios + SLi Broadcast Aperture + Nvidia 91.29

    I am using a Sun Ultra 40 with dual Opteron and dual Quadro FX 4500 in SLi-Configuration.
    I just upgraded the Bios to the new release V1.3 and I just noticed an entry inside the Bios regarding the "SLi Broadcast Aperture". Following values are possible:
    1. Disabled
    2. SLi on Master
    3. SLi on Slave
    What is the recommended value for my system in order to maximize the performance? I assume the master is the first graphics card, but I would like to know the correct value.
    Another issue I found out with the newest supplied Graphics driver on the supplemental CD by Sun (Nvidia V91.29), after startup the driver recognizes the sysem as an SLi-System but by enabling the SLi-support it is stated that the system does not have two identical graphics cards and SLi stays disabled. With the older driver on the supplemental CD V1.2 everything works fine. I have the doubt, that Sun was slightly to fast by releasing this driver?!
    Anyhelp is more than welcome/needed and appreciated! For anybody intrested, the Sun Ultra 40 is an awesome system and for any heavy workload in CAD first choice!

    Both of these problems are now documented on the X2100 server release notes (which wasn't the case when I originally posted the topic).
    http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/html/819-3722-15/
    The problem with sharing the bge0 port between Solaris and the IPMI is a bug in the bge driver, fixed by patch 122028-02.
    The problem with the bmc driver was more mysterious. Finally a note ("Adding SMDC Card Requires BIOS Flash") was added to the release notes web page. I had already upgraded my BIOS to the latest (1.1.1) revision, but re-flashing with the /cd switch as detailed in the note and performing a reconfiguration boot of Solaris fixed the problem.

  • Sun Ultra 3 Mobile Workstation aka Mezostation999 - lack of documentation.

    Hello.
    For a long time looking for documentation and drivers for this model.
    I understand that without a service plan i will not get the drivers. But there is documentation available somewhere?
    I'm really desperate - pre-installed Solaris 10 (03/05) works great. but I'd like to know more about this nice hardware and try to install a newer system(the problem is WLAN and VGA)
    Does anyone have experience with Ultra3 and can help me?

    Indeed, even the Internet archive does not contain much information on this topic.
    I am surprised that there are no data on oracle.com about hardware who has not reached the end of the "Premier Support Ends."
    http://www.oracle.com/us/support/lifetime-support/lifetime-support-hardware-337183.html
    Unfortunately this is not the equipment produced by Tadpole. It's a completely different product produced by Naturetch. There were four models of the "Sun Ultra 3":
    A60-UltraSPARC IIi (Tadpole SPARCLE)
    CPU: 550 or 650 MHz UltraSPARC IIi
    A60-UltraSPARC IIIi (Tadpole Viper)
    CPU: 1.2 GHz UltraSPARC IIIi
    A61-UltraSPARC IIi (NatureTech 888P)
    CPU: 550 or 650 MHz UltraSPARC IIi
    A61-UltraSPARC IIIi (NatureTech Mesostation 999)
    CPU: 1.28 GHz UltraSPARC IIIi
    As I mentioned in topic mine model is the latest. Unfortunately the company NatureTech no longer exists.
    I spent a really long time search for drivers and documentation. I Even asked the people who had in the past had this laptop.
    So... I have a month or two for purchase support. I feels that the only way to get the data I wanted(?)

  • Possible to upgrade Sun Ultra 40 M2 to quad processors?

    Is it possible to upgrade Sun Ultra 40 M2 to quad processor configuration
    This machine is a dual CPU 3.0Ghz.

    Have a look here:
    http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5348491&tstart=0
    Many users would like to upgrade to quad-core but Sun did not release any information if this is possible with our without an firmware update.

  • Configure 2 network Card in Sun ULTRA 1

    Hi,
    Can I put 2 network card in a Sun Ultra 1
    One Card it's for connected in my Network Sun in 192.9.XXX.XXX
    and the second it's for my Network PC in 192.168.XXX.XXX
    I want see this machine in the 2 network
    Best regards.

      This is caused by the default security policy which blocks file sharing with unidentified networks by making them public. (How it determines unidentified networks is another interesting question). To allow file sharing, you have to change the local
    security policy to allow unidentified networks to be private.

    ============================================
    I don't know exactly what is the origin of the problem, How to solver or how to prevent to avoid further problems. This is the first time I have had this Kind of problem on my Server SUN.
    I appreciate greatly, any tip o help.

    Unless you've somehow maintained a service contract on that system,
    by specific system serial number,
    your best bet is to haunt an online auction site (such as Ebay),
    and get a replacement cpu or cpus for shelf stock.
    Your current OBP patch level is only down two patch levels,
    but your kernel patch level is essentially "never patched".
    If it were patched better it may have noticed the issue a lot sooner.
    Expect to replace that cpu.

  • Urgent question about two monitors for Sun Ultra 40 M2

    Hello,
    I feel extremely unhappy to ask you the following.
    I bought recently a Sun Utra 40 M2. I thought that with NVIDA Quadro FX1500 one could have two monitors as there are two DVI-D 's to connect with two monitors.
    But today I heard from SUN support that Sun does not support two monitors under SUN Solaris 10. It is possible with Linux on this SUN Ultra 40, but not with Solaris, so it was told to me.
    But: is this true? I still can not believe it.
    with friendly greetings,

    Hello,
    I see, with Windows it is possible just lik that and with Solaris one needs two cards.
    Well, it seems for a one man"s business customer like me: end of story.
    I still can not believe it that Sun would arrange this.
    I will wait and see.
    with friendly greetings,
    P_ter
