However, beware of one small crucial item, the fan tray. The original 280R shipped with a 2-fan tray. With upgrading, this does not supply sufficient air flow, and with the introduction of the 900 Mhz CPU, Sun substituted the 3-Fan tray. At the same time the 750 Mhz systems were still produced. As such certain 750's have 2-fan, some 3-fan trays. Old 2-fan tray: P/N 540-4434-02 (label says 'Assembled in Mexico') New 3-fan tray: P/N 540-5088-02 (label says 'MAYSTEEL USA') Also see: http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/SunFire280R/components.html But beware of the error, it describes the 540-4434-02 as 3-fan! However, it gives you an idea of where to look.

I have one 280R with one CPU at 750 Mhz, this cpu is no longer ordearable, at least new, only refurbished.. which doesn't like me a lot. If I buy TWO new 1.05 or 900 Mhz cpus, I install it on the machine, will it work ? (of course both have to be the same speed), but do I need to do anithing else, from a part number from sun, or just patch the system ? thanks in advance .. I will summarize ! -- Angel Alejandro Vega Soto <alejandro.vega@tecinfocon.com.mx> _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagers _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagers
