Caution – DO NOT FORCE the key switch adapter assembly into the slot; this

!can cause damage to the assembly and system.

The key switch adapter assembly should insert and seat smoothly. If it binds, remove it, and inspect the slot for any obvious obstructions. Do not damage the springfingers at the bottom of the assembly.

2.Tighten the two captive screws on the bottom that secure the key switch adapter assembly to the cabinet.

3.Connect the cable assembly to the front of the key switch adapter assembly.

4.Power on the Enterprise 6000 system.

See the power on instructions in Chapter 12, “Powering Off and On.”

E.1.8 Fan Tray Assembly, 200/240V

To remove the fan tray assembly:

1.Completely power off the Enterprise system.

See the power off instructions in Chapter 12, “Powering Off and On.”

2.Locate the fan tray assembly at the back of the system.

Viewed from the rear of the system, the fan tray is on the left side of the cabinet. It includes two connectors and a switch.

3.Disconnect the cables from the fan tray assembly.

4.Loosen the two captive screws on the left side that secure the fan tray assembly to the cabinet.

5.Pull and slowly remove the fan tray assembly from the cabinet. See Figure E-14.

Sun Microsystems, a pivotal player in the computing industry during the late 20th and early 21st centuries, was renowned for its innovative hardware and software solutions. Among its notable offerings were the Sun-6000, Sun-5000, and Sun-4000 series, powerful workstations and servers designed for a range of enterprise-level applications.

The Sun-6000 series, introduced in the early 1990s, marked a significant advancement in computing performance. These systems were built on the SPARC architecture, which facilitated high levels of processing power and multitasking capabilities. One of the main features of the 6000 series was its scalability, allowing organizations to increase their processing power by adding more modules. It also offered robust graphics performance, making it ideal for scientific visualization and complex data analysis.

Next in line was the Sun-5000 series. Launched shortly after the 6000 series, the 5000 line was celebrated for its reliability and ease of management. This series emphasized a balanced architecture, which combined processing capabilities with ample memory and storage options. Key characteristics included support for multiple processors, leading to improved performance for demanding applications. Additionally, the 5000 systems featured advanced input/output capabilities, ensuring fast data transfers—crucial for database applications and web servers.

Finally, the Sun-4000 series targeted businesses seeking affordable yet potent computing solutions. These servers boasted a modular design, allowing for easy upgrades and maintenance. The 4000 series was particularly notable for its support for various operating systems, including SunOS and Solaris. These systems were engineered to handle a range of workloads, from enterprise resource planning to web hosting, while still fitting into a value-driven budget.

Across all three series, Sun Microsystems prioritized compatibility and integration, ensuring that each system offered seamless connectivity with Sun's software solutions and third-party applications. Their commitment to open standards and interoperability set them apart in the competitive landscape of enterprise computing. Additionally, the use of high-quality components lent the systems durability, making them a wise investment for organizations looking to future-proof their IT infrastructure.

In summary, the Sun-6000, 5000, and 4000 series exemplified Sun Microsystems' ethos of innovation and reliability. These powerful systems catered to diverse business needs, setting benchmarks in performance and functionality that continue to influence modern computing.
