Alright, armed with this info (mixing different io boards and all)
with my e5000 still up and running, I added a SOC+sbus board in slot3
(that's second from the top at the back of the exx00 series, with a
sbus-dual in slot 1.

Orange light as soon as I inserted the SOC+sbus. Ok, so I go back on
the xterm and cfgadm shows the board:
.
.
.
sysctrl0:slot3                 soc+sbus     disconnected unconfigured unknown

Alright, let's connect it:
# cfgadm -f -c connect sysctrl0:slot3
system will be temporarily suspended to connect a board: proceed (yes/no)?
yes
# cfgadm
.
.
.
sysctrl0:slot3                 soc+sbus     connected    unconfigured ok

Board is good.

# cfgadm -f -c configure sysctrl0:slot3
# cfgadm
.
.
.
sysctrl0:slot3                 soc+sbus     connected    configured   ok


And to recap:
clock board: 501-4286
sbus+dual IO board in slot 1: 501-4287
soc+sbus in slot 3: 501-4883
cpu/mem boards are a mix of 501-4882 and 501-4312 boards with  the 250MHz
procs.
and I believe the centerplane is a 501-2978

So how do I get the 501-4883 to replace the 501-4287, that is the question...

I'm open to other suggestions.
