The Sun 501-5473 is a SPARCengine CP1500 system controller CPU board carrying a 440MHz processor and shipped with no memory, so DIMMs must be added before it will run.
The CP1500 is a CompactPCI single board computer rather than a conventional server motherboard: it plugs into a cPCI backplane in a rack or industrial chassis and acts as host processor for the slots around it. Sun aimed the SPARCengine line at telecoms and embedded system builders who wanted Solaris on a standard bus form factor, and boards of this kind ended up inside network elements, test equipment and control systems with service lives measured in decades.
That is why they are still sourced: the surrounding system is not replaceable. Confirm the memory type and the backplane revision your chassis expects.
