While both products will apply to all of the markets that Sun competes in, they each were developed with specific target markets in mind. The SPARCstation LX system, with its on-board graphics acceleration and on-board ISDN capability, is targeted at the mission critical specialist user in traditional Sun markets like ECAD, MCAD, Wall Street traders, telecommunications, as well as the emerging workgroup, collaborative computing market. The SPARCclassic system with its super aggressive price points, is targeted at the client portion of the downsizing/rightsizing phenomenon that is occurring in the mission critical business application markets such as customer service, order entry, telemarketing, inventory control. HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE CONSIDERATIONS - All SPARCclassic and SPARCstation LX systems are supported by the SOLARIS(R) 2.1 computing environment ONLY! - These systems ship with the JumpStart(TM) application installed on the disk at the factory. The full Solaris 2.1 image is not installed on the disk. Please refer to the SOLARIS 2.1 announcement materials for further details. - SPARCclassic and SPARCstation LX systems come standard with a twisted-pair ethernet connection. To use thicknet you will need to PURCHASE an OPTIONAL AUI adapter cable. (X981A - AUI ONLY, X987A - AUI/Speakerbox for SPARCstation LX ONLY) - The floppy DOES NOT come standard with any SPARCclassic or SPARCstation LX system. It can be ordered as an x-option. (X556A) - SPARCclassic and SPARCstation LX systems come standard with one DB25 synchronous serial port. To have 2 DB25 synchronous serial ports your customer will need to PURCHASE an OPTIONAL serial splitter cable. (X985A) Upgrades will be offered to the SPARCstation LX only. You can upgrade from a SPARCstations IPC and/or a SPARCstation 1 or SPARCstation 1+ which require a diskfull chassis swap. Upgrading from an SPARCstation SLC(TM) or SPARCstation ELC requires a full system swap. The SPARCstation LX system comes standard with the GXplus chip on the motherboard. It also comes standard with 1 MB of VRAM on the motherboard to allow for 1152 x 900 support. There is an additional VRAM slot to allow for an optional 1 MB of VRAM to support 1280 x 1024 or 1600 x 1280 or 1152 x 900 double buffered. The memory used in the new workstation is 60ns and is a new faster memory SIMM. Most applications will require much less than 96 MB. There are 6 SIMM slots on both the SPARCclassic and the SPARCstation LX that can be filled with 4-MB or 16-MB SIMMs. These SIMMs must be added in pairs. The 16-MB base systems use 4 SIMM slots and can have an additional 8 MB or an additional 32 MB (bringing the total to 48 MB) before all the memory slots are filled. If you need to expand beyond 48 MB then you will need to replace the base memory (16 MB) with the more dense memory SIMM's. Possible Combinations: ---------------------- 4-MB SIMMS 16-MB SIMMS TOTAL MEMORY --------- ---------- ------------ 4 0 16 MB (BASE CONFIGURATION) 6 0 24 MB 0 2 32 MB 2 2 40 MB 4 2 48 MB 0 4 64 MB 2 4 72 MB 0 6 96 MB SPARCclassic and SPARCstation LX workstations both have a 64-bit memory bus that requires two 32-bit SIMMs to be addressed at the same time. The memory packages available are in 8-MB increments (X108R - made up of two 4-MB SIMMS) and 32-MB increments (X132R - made up of two 16-MB SIMMs). To support AUI, you'll need to purchase an additional adapter cable To support thinnet, you'll need to purchase the additonal adapter cable as well as a transciever. (X981A - AUI ONLY, X987A - AUI/Speakerbox for SPARCstation LX ONLY) Both serial ports support synchronous communications. To get two serial ports you will need to purchase the serial splitter cable.
