•Front panel key (packed in a bag in the accessory box)

Follow the graphic instructions on the shipping container to remove the server from the container. Remove the front panel key and the power cord from the shipping container. These are needed to power on the system.

1.9 Using the User Naming Area

To display the name of the server, IP address, owner, or other important information on the front of the machine:

1.Remove the top front bezel.

Refer to Chapter 13, “Preparing for Service,” in the Ultra Enterprise 6000/5000/4000 Systems Manual.

•Enterprise 6000/5000 systems: refer to Section 13.3.3, “Top Front Bezel.”

•Enterprise 4000 system: refer to Section 13.4.1, “Top Bezel.”

2.Snap out the narrow transparent window.

From the rear side of the bezel, gently squeeze the top and bottom edges together as you simultaneously push the transparent window out through the front of the bezel.

3.Choose the information that will appear on the label.

Common items include the name of the server, IP address, name and contact information for the system administrator, and the group of users that the machine services.

4.Use the colored paper provided with the system to make a label.

The available area for the paper label is 12 mm x 150 mm (0.5 in x 5.9 in). Print or write the desired information in an area this size and cut the label to fit the transparent window.

5.Place the paper label inside the window, and snap the window back in place from the front side of the bezel.

4000, 5000, 6000 specifications

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.
