501-2541 - motherboard, 0 MB, (2) SM51, [SS1000]
501-2336 - motherboard, 0 MB, FRU, [SS1000]

The 2336 is a Field Replacement Unit, no specs on processors on it, the
2541 is a dual SM 51 (55 ish Mhz proc) board.
The SBUS is at 20 Mhz.
You will need to look at the Barcode #'s on the MBUS CPU modules to tell
what speed they are, the barcode is -USUALLY- on the MBUS connector so you
mau have to pull the modules from the board to find out. I would expect
that the modules on both of your boards are SM 51's.
Information is part from memory, part from http://www.sunstuff.org

Greetings,
Is anyone here familiar with the Sun SparcServer 1000 systems? This
morning, I picked one up at a hamfest; it has two CPU boards in it,
each, it appears, has 4 CPUs. I was able to identify one of the
boards from it's part number from what I found on the net; appears to
have 20MHz CPUs; the other board is a higher number, but I've found
little data for it this far. The CPU boards are: 501-2336 and
501-2541. Does anone have any data on these?
Being unfmamiliar with multiprocessor systems, I'm wondering how fast
this will be in comparison to my 170MHz Ultra-1; slower for some
things and faster for others, I guess, while consuming much more
power---is this correct?
Wow, this is one heavy machine! In order to figure out if Solaris 8
can run on it, do I count the total amount of memory in the system, or
the amount of memory per CPU? Haven't identified the memory in it
yet, but one CPU board has 12 banks filled.
