Sparc 20 Server

[VAadmin]

I recently purchased an old Sparc 20 Server. When I power it on it beeps once, then a long pause, beeps once again, and so on.
When I opened the case I see the main board, an an in Video card, 2 hard drives, a cd rom, and of course the power supply.
What I don't see is an ad in card with a CPU. Is there a CPU on the mainboard? I ask because I see on chip on the Mainboard with a heatsink, but Im not sure if that is a CPU or just the mainboard chip set.

The CPU(s) is on a daughter card. the 20 has 3 Sbus rows of 2 cards each and one row for a daughter cards, which may have 1 of 2 CPUs I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

Thats what I thought thanks.

Does anybody know where I can an inexpensive used CPU card for a Sparc Server 20?

My misty recolection is that a Super SPARC is 30% faster at any CPU speed than a Hyper SPARC, but that they never got the Super SPARC over 85 Mhz, While the Hyper SPARC scaled to twice that fast I did not notice any, but they made Hyper SPARC modules with 2 CPUs, allowing a quad CPU Saprc 20

Thanks again jimbo. CPU is on the way, hopefully I won't find any other issues.
