Each partner configuration is prepackaged with the minimum required CPUs, memory, I/O and other necessary features, offering partners and resellers simple, functional configurations for stocking and quick time-to-market.

Each partner configuration includes a system chassis with full power and cooling; one UltraSPARC IV CPU/memory board (1.2 GHz or 1.05 GHz) with four processors and 16 GB memory; one PCI+ I/O assembly with eight PCI adapter capability; and one dual GB ethernet/dual UltraSCSI PCI adapter.
