1-4 SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 Servers Overview Guide • August 2009
range limits could possibly increase the failure rate of hardware components
significantly. In order to minimize the occurrence of system failure due to
component failure, set temperature and humidity in the optimal ranges.
Note – In order to minimize any chance of downtime due to component failure, use
the optimal temperature and humidity ranges.
Both midrange servers have these features:
■ Rackmountable
■ Support for multiple CPU modules
■ Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), which is making multiple CPUs available to
complete individual processes simultaneously
■ eXtended System Control Facility Unit (XSCFU)
■ PCI-Express I/O bus
