Operating Systems Solaris Help with Stubborn Sun Ultra Enterprise 450 Post 302673111 by gandolf989 on Tuesday 17th of July 2012 12:53:07 PM

10 years ago I was able to reset the firmware password on a sparc station 5 by buying a new NVRAM chip, and ultimately got the sparc station 5 working. I'm guessing that NVRAM holds its contents without power.

If you want to play with Sun hardware you should look for a sunfire T2000 or a sunfire V245 online, they both come standard with either DVD or CDROM drives, they each hold at least 6 SCSI drives, they are likely to have more memory than an E450. The T2000 has 16 core cool threads processors, so 2 CPU's will give you 32 crappy cores!!! ;-) Both servers will probably use less power than an E450. If you want a retro end table, the E450 would be ideal!!! :-)
