Review the Ultra 60 Service Manual for instructions how to install cpu modules. Login to SunSolve to review the jumper settings.Michael

You might also check the current OBP level.From a running Solaris do:prtconf -V(uppercase V)

Alexander, keep in mind that when you have removed the 300/360MHz CPU( using anti static precautions!!! ) change the position of jumper J3001 to 2 - 3 and then install the 450MHz CPU. If you experience failed POST, strip the system back to one CPU and one bank of DIMMs ( any bank ), power off and run through POST again. If it passes three times or more, then begin adding the remaining components ( additional CPUs and memory DIMMs ).

Hello allThanks for all your help. I had to flash the OBP. That worked fine. And installing the 2 x 450MHzCPU's worked fine as well. All is lookiing good. Thanks again.
