Has anyone installed a SunPCi3 in an older machine, i.e., Ultra 5 or Ultra
10?
We had plans to install a SunPCi2 in an Ultra 10, but Sun is now shipping
SunPCi3, and the U/10 dropped off the hardware compatibility list in the
release notes.
The immediate differences I see are that version 3 has an additional
daughterboard for extra USB and firewire ports, so it takes up three PCI
slots with all options installed instead of two slots.
We have a Plan B, which involves moving around existing SunPCi2 cards and
reassigning workstations, but my clients are looking for a second opinion
before approving.
Questions:
1) physical fit of main board, daughterboard, and serial/parallel connector
(if used).
2) firmware compatibility, i.e., if you have installed, what version of OBP
firmware do you have?
3) power consumption/cooling considerations
Will summarize.
Thanks
