Sun Firw x2200 M2 hardware upgrading

807557Oct 23 2009 — edited Oct 29 2009

Hello,

I have bought used Sun Fire x2200 M2 which has single AMD Opteron 2210 CPU. Am I forced to buy one of these upgrade kits supplied by Sun(see list below)? Or can I use any AMD Opteron 23xx model on this server? If I buy two separate Opteron 2374 CPU-s will it work? What are my options in upgrading? I have updated the BIOS to latest version 3D15/3B27 which is found on "Sun Fire X2200 M2 Server Tools & Driver ISO Image 2.2.0 "

* 2356 (2.3 GHz, 75W ACP)
* 2354 (2.2 GHz, 75W ACP)
* 2384 (2.7 GHz, 75W ACP)
* 2376 (2.3 GHz, 75W ACP)

Also, what about other hardware, HDD, RAM do these need to be Sun branded, or can I use any hardware??
Please help!
