    |with u5, you can't use UPA slot

    Because the case physically limits access to the UPA slot which is
    present on the motherboard, as Rich said. If you ever login to either
    a U5 or U10, you'll see the machine can't even tell the difference -
    uname -a reports SUNW,Ultra-5_10 since it can just tell the motherboard
    model and not what case it was installed in.
