Power Cord Connection

Caution – Sun products are designed to work with power systems having a grounded neutral (grounded return for DC-powered products). To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not plug Sun products into any other type of power system. Contact your facilities manager or a qualified electrician if you are not sure what type of power is supplied to your building.

Caution – Not all power cords have the same current ratings. Do not use the power cord provided with your equipment for any other products or use. Household extension cords do not have overload protection and are not meant for use with computer systems. Do not use household extension cords with your Sun product.

Caution – For products with multiple power cords, all power cords must be disconnected to completely remove power from the system.

Battery Warning

Caution – There is danger of explosion if batteries are mishandled or incorrectly replaced. On systems with replaceable batteries, replace only with the same manufacturer and type or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer per the instructions provided in the product service manual. Do not disassemble batteries or attempt to recharge them outside the system. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Dispose of batteries properly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and local regulations. Note that on Sun CPU boards, there is a lithium battery molded into the real- time clock. These batteries are not customer replaceable parts.

The following caution applies only to devices with a Standby power switch:

Caution – The power switch of this product functions as a standby type device only. The power cord serves as the primary disconnect device for the system. Be sure to plug the power cord into a grounded power outlet that is nearby the system and is readily accessible. Do not connect the power cord when the power supply has been removed from the system chassis.

The following caution applies only to devices with multiple power cords:

System Unit Cover

You must remove the cover of your Sun computer system unit to add cards, memory, or internal storage devices. Be sure to replace the cover before powering on your computer system.

Caution – Do not operate Sun products without the cover in place. Failure to take this precaution may result in personal injury and system damage.

Rack System Warning

The following warnings apply to Racks and Rack Mounted systems.

Caution – For safety, equipment should always be loaded from the bottom up. That is, install the equipment that will be mounted in the lowest part of the rack first, then the next higher systems, etc.

X2270 specifications

The Sun Microsystems X2270, part of the Sun Fire product line, was a robust server designed to meet the demands of data-intensive applications and enterprise workloads. Launched during a time when scalability, reliability, and performance were paramount for organizations, the X2270 provided a solution that addressed these needs with a combination of innovative technologies and powerful features.

One of the standout characteristics of the X2270 is its support for Sun's unique Solaris operating system, which enhanced system performance and stability. The server was powered by the UltraSPARC processor architecture, with configurations that supported multiple CPU cores. This made the X2270 ideal for running complex applications and virtualization environments, allowing organizations to maximize resource utilization and reduce operational costs.

In terms of memory architecture, the X2270 featured advanced memory technologies that provided substantial capacity and bandwidth. It supported high-speed DDR RAM, enabling faster data access and improved application performance. The design also included numerous DIMM slots, allowing for easy upgrades and scalability as business needs evolved.

Storage was another critical aspect of the X2270. The server was equipped with flexible storage options, supporting both traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs). This versatility allowed organizations to tailor their storage configurations to their specific applications and performance requirements, enhancing overall system efficiency.

The X2270 also boasted exceptional reliability features. Sun Microsystems designed the server with redundant components, such as power supplies and cooling fans, ensuring minimal downtime and uninterrupted service. Its robust design incorporated hot-swappable parts, facilitating maintenance without service interruption. This aspect was particularly appealing to mission-critical operations where uptime was essential.

Networking capabilities were advanced as well, with multiple Ethernet ports for high-speed connectivity. The support for various protocols and configurations allowed for seamless integration into existing IT environments, making it a practical choice for organizations looking to enhance their infrastructure.

Moreover, the Sun Microsystems X2270 was designed with management features that simplified administration and monitoring. It offered a range of tools, including remote management capabilities, which empowered IT staff to oversee system performance and resolve issues without being on-site.

Overall, the Sun Microsystems X2270 represented a convergence of performance, scalability, and reliability, making it an attractive option for businesses seeking to deploy powerful enterprise applications and build resilient IT infrastructures. Its innovative technologies and robust design paved the way for efficient and effective data management in various organizational contexts.
