I own a Sun Sunfire 280R computer with one 750Mhz CPU. I ordered two CPU of 900Mhz to replace it; however in the Service manual from Sun I read that to use 900Mhz CPU i will need to have a OBP of at least version 4.5.16. When I type .version in OBP here's what I get:
Code:
Release 4.5 Version 10 created 2002/02/11 10:38
OBP 4.5.10 2002/02/11 10:38
POST 4.5.9 2002/02/05 21:25
I seem to have OBP version 4.5.10, so I would like to upgrade my OBP.
How can I do that? To I need to buy a preprogrammed chip from Sun and install it in my computer or can I just download a new one and flash it somehow? Could someone please help me a little bit on that?

Greetings all,
I'm in a bit of a situation. I have this Sunfire 280R system that did not have a floppy drive in it, yet we needed one. We grabbed one from another Sun box we had laying around unused, and installed it. The system couldnt recognize it. Tried another floppy drive (non-sun) and... (4 Replies)
Hi there
Does anybody know what the biggest capacity disk I can get into a Sunfire 280R
I currently have two 73gb disks , but I need to get these up to the biggest available
Any help would be greatly appreciated (4 Replies)
Hi,
We had a disk go bad in this SunFire 280R, running Solaris 8 - Generic_117350-46. We replaced the disk and partitioned it. We metadetached all the metadevices but for some reason the new disk is showing up in the metadb as Concat/Stripe and it won't let us re-sync the mirror. We are not... (2 Replies)

hi,
i just completed installing O/S 5.9 on Sunfire 280R with O/S 5.9. During installation, i wasn't able to add IP, Default gateway, NDS and netmask because the lan port wasn't not active yet. Now that i have a lan port active, how to add network components onto the system?
I did ifconfig to... (1 Reply)

sysdata
sysdata(1) General Commands Manual sysdata(1)NAME
sysdata - find basic hardware system data
SYNOPSIS
sysdata
DESCRIPTION
After the atlc package is built, a small benchmark is run as part of the testing procedure. This benchmark tries to get some information
about the hardware. The program sysdata displays the same hardware information that the benchmark will display, but runs in a fraction of a
second, whereas the benchmark can take from 19 s (quad 1.4 GHz Itainium 2 machine) to 14,906 s (for a very old 33.3 MHz Cray Y-MP). There
are no options or arguments to sysdata
The information gathered on hardware and software both developed by the same company (i.e. Solaris on Suns, AIX on IBM RS/6000, IRIX on
SGI, ... etc etc) is generally more informative than the free systems (Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD) where it is usually impossible to
get much hardware information.
EXAMPLES
Here are some examples of the use of sysdata on a number of systems. The large number of examples is for my own use as much as anything, so
I can keep track of the development of sysdata and see easily where it needs extending. Examples are presented for:
1) Sun Ultra 80 running Solaris 9
2) HP C3000 running HP-UX 11
3) SGI Octane running IRIX 6.5.16
4) IBM RS/6000 running AIX 5.2
5) Dec Alpha 600a Personal Workstation running Tru64 5.1B
6) Cray Y-MP running UNICOS 9
7) Sun SPARCstation 20 running NetBSD 1.6
8) Sun SPARCstation 20 running OpenBSD 3.2
9) Sun SPARCstation 20 running Debian Linux
10) Sun SPARCstation 20 running Solaris 2.5
11) Generic PC with 350 MHz Pentium II running Redhat Linux 7.2
Here's the output from sysdata on these 11 systems.
e.g. 1 (Sun Ultra 80 running Solaris 9)

Here's another example this time on an SGI Octane R10000 with 2 x 195 MHz processors. Note the CPU and FPU types reported at not the R10000
and R10010 that are reported by SGI's hinv. sysdata is not meant to replace other more sophisticated ways of obtaining system information
(such as hinv on IRIX), but its data is useful to record for benchmarking purposes.

e.g 6 (Cray Y-MP running UNICOS)
Hardware provider: Cray
Hardware platform: Y-MP
Machine: CRAY_Y-MP

That is all the examples of commercial hardware running the operating systems made by the manufacturers of the hardware. The following are
free UNIX versions. In these cases the data gathered is never as complete. In particular the amoumt of memory reported if often less than
the real amount due to memory taken by the operating system (kernel etc). The number of processors the system can support is never avail-
able.
Here's the first such non-commercial UNIX from a single processor Sun SPARCstation 20 running NetBSD 1.6.
e.g. 7 (Sun SPARCstation 20 running NetBSD 1.6)
Hardware provider: unknown
Hardware platform: unknown
Machine: sparc
Sysname: NetBSD
Release: 1.6
Version: NetBSD_1.6_(GENERIC)_#0:_Mon_Sep__9_08:2sparc
Nodename: blackbird
#CPUs supported: unknown

L1 instruction cache: unknown kb
L2 cache: unknown kb
Here's data from a Sun SPARCstation 20 running OpenBSD 3.2. The machine has 320 Mb of RAM, not 318 Mb as indicated. The number of proces-
sors the system supports is reported as unknown, but should the system have been running Solaris 9, as in the example 1 (sparrow), then
this information would have been determined, but it is not available under OpenBSD - or Solaris 2.5 for that matter.
e.g. 8 (Sun SPARCstation 20 running OpenBSD 3.2)
Hardware provider: unknown
Hardware platform: unknown
Machine: sparc
Sysname: OpenBSD
Release: 3.2
Version: GENERIC#36

The next machine is a Sun SPARCstation 20 running Debian Linux. The version of Debian is unknown, but clearly sysdata is unable to deter-
mine this.
e.g. 9 (Sun SPARCstation 20 running Debian Linux)
Hardware provider: unknown
Hardware platform: unknown
Machine: sparc
Sysname: Linux
Release: 2.2.20

RAM: 281 Mb
L1 data cache unknown kb
L1 instruction cache: unknown kb
L2 cache: unknown kb
Here's data from a Sun SPARCstation 20 running Solaris 2.5 (SunOS 5.5). The machine probably does have 352 Mb of RAM as reported. The num-
ber of processors the system supports is reported as unknown, but should the system have been running Solaris 9, as in the example 1 (spar-
row), then this information would have been determined, but it is not available under Solaris 2.5.
e.g. 10 (Sun SPARCstation 20 Solaris 2.5)
Hardware provider: Sun_Microsystems
Hardware platform: SUNW,SPARCstation-20
Machine: sun4m

Release: 5.5
