8. The 8-slot Gigaplane operating at 100MHz with seven CPU/Memory boards and 400MHz modules does not support N+1 Power.

Compatibility Notes

1. Clock 501-2975 is not supported.
2. The E6000 and E6500 require Clock 501-5365 for a 5:1 clock ratio.
3. The E3x00, E4x00, and E5x00 require Clock 501-5365 for a 5:1 clock ratio if 84MHz system boards are installed.
4. Clock 501-4286 or 501-4946 is supported in the E3x00, E4x00, and E5x00 if the centerplane and all system boards are 100MHz.
5. Clock 501-5365 is supported if 84MHz or 100MHz system boards are installed in the E3x00, E4x00, and E5x00.

E10000 Notes

1. The minimum SSP release is 3.3.
2. Patch >=108885-09 (SSP 3.3) or >=108885-09 (SSP 3.3) or >=110304-05 (SSP 3.4) is required.
   (No patching is required for SSP 3.5.)
3. Mixing module speeds within a system is supported.
4. A minimum of one processor per System Board is required.
5. Set the clock multiplier to 2:1 with the command:
   sys_clock -p two-to-one -s -i 100000000
   Caution: Using sys_clock with command line options can crash a running system.

   System Boards 501-4347, 501-4786, and 501-4903 are not compatible with the 400MHz UltraSPARC module.

   System Boards 501-5240, 501-5278, 501-5279, and 501-5693 are compatible with the 400MHz UltraSPARC module.
