501-1861
4/25 (SPARCstation ELC) motherboard
33MHz Fujitsu MB86903 or Weitek W8701, Sun-4c MMU with 8 hardware contexts.
This board is an unusual shape because it is intended to slip into the
vertical slot in the monitor case behind the tube. It slides in from the
top, I believe with the component side facing toward the front of the
machine (all left/right orientations below assume you are looking down on the
board from the rear of the machine). On the bottom edge is an edge connector
which supplies power and connects the CPU to the external signal connectors.
There are no jumpers.
Memory consists of up to four 4M or 16M x 33 72-pin SIMMs (501-1812 or
501-1698 (4M), and 501-1822 (16M)). SIMM types may be mixed, and should be
installed according to this table:
total RAM U0407 U0408 U0409 U0410
--------- ----- ----- ----- -----
8M 4M 4M
12M 4M 4M 4M
16M 4M 4M 4M 4M
or 16M
20M 16M 4M
24M 16M 4M 4M
28M 16M 4M 4M 4M
32M 16M 16M
36M 16M 16M 4M
40M 16M 16M 4M 4M
48M 16M 16M 16M
52M 16M 16M 16M 4M
64M 16M 16M 16M 16M
Additional features of interest: the boot PROM is a PLCC toward the upper
right corner, at location U0806. The NVRAM is to the right of the boot PROM
at location U0813. Ethernet fuse F0901 and SCSI fuse F0701 are toward the
right bottom, near the edge connector, and are both non-replaceable PTC
devices.
Note that the ELC was first supported in SunOS 4.1.1c. Additionally, bug
1047696 in the installation of SunOS 4.1.1 and 4.1.1 Rev B causes trouble
when mixing 4M and 16M SIMMs. "Install the 16MB SIMM in U0407 when
installing miniunix."
