The Sun Ultra 5 400 is a workstation built with the UltraSPARC IIi processor, clocked at 400 MHz, providing reliable computing performance. Designed by Sun Microsystems, the Ultra 5 offers a solid platform, particularly valued for its use in scientific, engineering, and graphic-intensive applications during the late 1990s and early 2000s. The system is housed in a compact tower case, featuring a practical and user-friendly design.
This unit comes with none of the originally specified hard drive, operating system, or memory, which means individual components may need to be added or upgraded depending on requirements. The specifications of the processor make this model ideal for supporting older, legacy environments that require stable and consistent computational power. While its hardware capabilities are dated by modern standards, the Sun Ultra 5 400 remains sought after for specialised use-cases tied to its architecture.
The machine also features compatibility with PCI expansion slots, which provide flexibility for users who need custom hardware configurations. It includes support for a variety of external devices via serial and parallel ports, as well as support for UltraSCSI, making it equipped to handle a mix of vintage and more adaptable technology. The UltraSPARC architecture's stability and proven reliability make this one of the enduring features of this workstation.
With no pre-loaded software, potential users of the Sun Ultra 5 400 may need to install operating systems such as Solaris, reflecting its intended use within server environments or workstations focused on UNIX-type tasks. It’s perfect for specific users requiring a system that matches legacy architectures.
