Description
Sun 501-2358 SuperSPARC 40MHz CPU Module No Cache SPARCstation 10 SS10 TMS390
The Sun 501-2358 is a 40 MHz SuperSPARC CPU module designed for the Sun SPARCstation 10 (SS10) workstation. This is the no-cache variant — the secondary cache socket on the board is unpopulated. The module houses a Texas Instruments TMS390 SuperSPARC processor on a compact daughtercard that installs directly into the SS10's CPU module slot.

Applications
The SPARCstation 10 was Sun Microsystems' high-performance RISC workstation of the early 1990s, built around the SuperSPARC architecture. It used a modular CPU design that allowed users to upgrade or replace the processor module independently of the motherboard — a forward-thinking feature for the era. The SS10 was widely deployed in engineering, scientific computing, and university environments running SunOS 4.x and Solaris 2.x. The 501-2358 40 MHz no-cache module was the entry-level CPU option for the SS10; systems needing more performance could be upgraded to cached variants (e.g. 501-2365 or 501-2631) or dual-CPU configurations. Today, these modules are sought by collectors maintaining vintage Sun SPARC workstations and by institutions running legacy Solaris or SunOS environments that require period-correct hardware.
This Sun 501-2358 SuperSPARC 40MHz CPU Module has been tested at our facility and is in good working condition. This is the no-cache variant for the SPARCstation 10 (SS10). The board shows light handling wear consistent with a used module pulled from service; the PCB and edge connector appear clean and intact.
