---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun 3 To SPARC Upgrades SunFLASH Vol 20 #28 August 1990 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun is announcing new upgrades to help customers migrate to SPARC. This message includes a Summary of Changes in the SPARC Upgrades Program, and Detailed Ordering Information. 1. Summary of Changes in Upgrades A. New Paths have been added B. Existing Paths are simpler; prices are reduced C. Upgrades to Sun-3 Systems are being discontinued 2. Detailed Order Information for New and Changed Upgrade Paths A. Upgrades to SS1+ B. Upgrades to SS300 C. Upgrades to SS400 1A. NEW UPGRADE PATHS TO SPARC HAVE BEEN ADDED ********************************************************* There are now paths to SPARC from all Sun-3 systems. New paths are: FROM: TO: Sun-3/75 SS1+ Sun-3/80 SS1+ Sun-3/400 SPARCsystem300 Sun-3/150 SPARCsystem350 Sun-4/150 SPARCsystem350 Sun-3/260 SPARCsystem470 Sun-4/260 SPARCsystem470 Every Sun-3 Customer has a SPARC alternative now. 1B. EXISTING PATHS TO SPARC ARE SIMPLER, PRICES REDUCED *************************************************************** Current upgrades to SPARC have been simplified and streamlined. - All upgrades to SPARC300 are now CPU board exchanges. Previously, most of these upgrades were pedestal exchanges. - Upgrades to SPARC have been greatly simplified by minimizing the variations that are based on memory differences. The amount of memory that will now ship with SPARC upgrades is shown below. Upgrades TO Memory Included *********** *************** SS1+ 8-Mbyte* SS300 8-Mbyte or 32-Mbyte SS400 32-Mbyte *Upgrade from Sun-3/80 to SS1+ does not include memory and no memory is returned. Customers with 4-Mbyte Sun-3/80 systems must order at least 4-Mbyte additional memory. Additional memory can be purchased as "X-Option" part numbers. - Orders in the backlog will be shipped to the configuration and price which is on the order, unless orders are changed. - The new configurations are orderable immediately and will replace the previous configurations. 1C. LAST ORDER DATE FOR UPGRADES TO Sun-3 SYSTEMS **************************************************** Sun is also announcing the discontinuation of upgrades to Sun-3. These upgrades may be ordered until December 15, 1990, and all deliveries must be by March 31, 1991. Upgrades to Sun-3 will be removed from the Sun price list as of January 1, 1991.
