These new paths provide SPARCstation IPX(TM), SPARCstation 1 and SPARCstation 2 customers greater flexibility by allowing them to upgrade to any of the SPARCstation 10 uniprocessor systems; models 30, 40, 41, and 51 (See the SPARCstation 10 systems announcement for systems description). In addition to these new paths, Sun(TM) has also reduced prices on select current chassis upgrade paths. For current SPARCstation 10 customers who need more performance from their system, Sun also introduces new upgrade paths to the model 40 and 51 modules. These new paths complement the models 41, 512 (formerly called the model 52), and 54 modules upgrades already available today. Additionally, the model 41 module upgrade will be available at a promotional price throughout this quarter. All SPARCstation 10 chassis and module upgrades come with a full one year, return to factory warranty. TRANSITIONS The following products will be transitioned: - UG-IPX-S10-41-P43 - UG-SS1-S10-41-P43 - UG-SS2-S10-41-P43 - UG-S2GS-S10-41-P43 The transition schedule is as follows: o Last date to order July 30, 1993 o Last date to take delivery October 31, 1993 HARDWARE CONSIDERATIONS ----------------------- - SPARCstation 10 chassis upgrades come standard with a twisted-pair ethernet connection. To use thicknet an AUI adapter (X987A) will need to be ordered separately. - Model 30, 40, and 41 chassis upgrades are shipped with 32MB of memory. Model 51 chassis upgrades ship with 64MB of memory. - All upgrades include disk mounting hardware for upgrades migrating the old disk drive. - Jumper settings will need to be changed for model 20 and 30 customers who upgrade their module. Instructions are included within the upgrade package. SOFTWARE CONSIDERATIONS ----------------------- - Solaris(R) 1.1 or greater for uniprocessor systems. - Solaris 2.2 or greater is required for model 402MP upgrades. AVAILABILITY ------------ - Model 30, 40 and 41 upgrades are available for immediate shipment. - Model 51 will release in late June with volume shipments in August. - Model 40 to 402MP upgrades will ship in late May. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS --------------------- Q. Can you give me more information on the model 41 module upgrade promotion? A. The model 41 module upgrade promo was put into place to make it very attractive for our model 20 and 30 customers to upgrade and experience the performance increases associated with model 41. This promotional price will be only available through June 30, 1993. Q. Is the model 41 promotion only limited to SPARCstation 10 customers? A. The model 41 promotion is available to SPARCstation 10 model 20 and 30 customers as well as SPARCserver 600 model 120 customers. Refer to the pricing section of this announcement for the specific part number. Q. Speaking of SPARCserver(TM) customers, will there be a new upgrade path to the model 51 module? A. Yes, a new path has been created (UG-M120-M51) for customers with a model 120 server who wish to upgrade the module to a model 51. Q. Is the Model 40 upgradable to a Model 402MP? A. The Model 40 is upgradable to a Model 402MP but, initial Model 40 systems will require a two-for-one module swap in order to upgrade to an MP system. This is because initial Model 40 systems will be based on an earlier version of the SuperSPARC processor that is not capable of multiprocessing. Eventually, Model 40 systems will be upgradable to Model 402MP by simply adding another Model 40 processor module. Customers with a 501-2219 model 40 module will need to order this upgrade. Adding a processor to a uniprocessor Model 40 system acting as a server will require an additional Solaris license. See the Solaris 2.2 announcement for ordering information. Q. What do I do if I wanted to upgrade my model 51 to a model 512MP? A. The Model 51 is upgradable to a Model 512MP by simply adding a Model 51 module x-option and running Solaris 2.2 or greater. Q. What is the warranty on an upgrade to the SPARCstation 10? A. When upgrading to the SPARCstation 10, the customer will receive a one year, return-to-factory warranty on the system or chassis. Any peripheral migrating to SPARCstation 10 will maintain its original warranty. For more details, see the SunIntro regarding the warranty offering.
