Sun Fire X4150 and Sun Fire X4450 servers are Sun's first quad-core x64 (x86, 64-bit) systems. Both servers can run the Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS), Windows, Linux or VMware operating systems and come in a new chassis design optimized for cooling and power efficiency.

Sun Fire X4150 powered by the Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series

• Available now

• Offers both Dual-Core and Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors that range from 50W to 120W
• Two-socket 1U system (up to 8 cores in a 1U footprint)
• Up to 64GB of memory with sixteen memory DIMM slots
• Up to eight hot-swappable 2.5-inch SAS disk drives
• One available bay for slot-loading DVD+/-RW drive
• Four integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports (Intel NIC)
• Five USB 2.0 ports (two front, two rear, one internal)
• Three 8-lane PCI-Express slots
• Enterprise class features including redundant and hot-swappable power supplies, cooling fans and disk drives - One or two AC Power Supply Units (PSU) configured as 1+1 - Hardware RAID 0, 1, 1E, 10, 5, 5EE, 50, 6, 60 support for internal disk drives using SAS RAID host bus adapter
• Embedded Lights Out Manager (LOM) comes standard, integrated on motherboard, enabling the server to be managed and monitored locally or remotely - Twice the memory capacity, internal disk storage and integrated networking connectivity of comparable systems
