It is a Sun board for their "Value Added Resellers". For example,
I have a Rave workstation with a Ultra AXi board in it that currently
runs Solaris 8. It's generally equivalent to an Ultra 10 workstation
except for two built-in UltraSCSI controllers and an odd-looking UPA
bus connector.
http://www.sun.com/smrc/photos-prod/ppmicroSEUAXI.html has some
pictures of the board.
