The following table provides the page numbers for each procedure.
| Component |

cleaned once every 3 months. Have spare air intake screens onsite so
that replacements are available when needed for cleaning.

Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR) operation of PCI and cPCI I/O boards (FIN
I0840-1).

boot time when a cPCI Dual FC Network Adapter (FRU or X-option) is installed
for the first time (FIN I0708-1)
|
| Compact PCI (cPCI) Card |
- Sun Fire x800 systems are subject to a "panic" problem at
boot time when a cPCI Dual FC Network Adapter (FRU or X-option) is installed
for the first time (FIN I0708-1)
|
| CPU/Memory Board |
- Sun Fire 4800/E4900/6800/E6900 systems with US-IV+ boards have restrictions which
limit the number of domains.
(FAB 1000283.1).
- The Vcore setting for UltraSPARC IV 1350MHz boards should be
1.25V, but some earlier releases of firmware will power on
and operate the board at an incorrect voltage.
(FIN I1166-1).
- CPU/Memory Board FRUs for Sun Fire 12K/15K and Sun Fire 3800-6800
systems are not enabled for Capacity On Demand (COD) use (FIN I0912-1).
- Guidelines for understanding and diagnosing UltraSPARC III Level 2
(L2) SRAM Cache Memory Errors (FIN I0887-1).
- UltraSPARC III and III+ based platforms could be susceptible to UCC
errors that may cause system panics (FIN I0856-1).
- Issue with diagnosing of "send mondo" panics (FIN I0765-1)
- 900MHz CPUs operating at 750MHz (FIN I0759-1)
- Under certain conditions, flashupdate -u command can create incompatible
firmware versions between boards, rendering system unusable until problem
is corrected (FIN I0731-1)
- Loose EMI spring fingers on chassis may damage CPU/Memory Boards (FIN
I0720-1)
- A limited set of Sun Fire System Boards may be vulnerable to Uncorrectable
Errors in L2 SRAM. (FCO A0248-1).
|
| CPU/Memory Board EMI Spring Finger Clip |
- Loose EMI spring fingers on chassis may damage CPU/Memory Boards (FIN
I0720-1)
|
| Disk Drive |
-
Improved firmware for Seagate 10K.6 disk drives will reduce the incidence of unexpected outages due to a spindle motor issue (FIN I1136-1).
|
| Memory |
- Best Practices Guide for Memory Errors for diagnosing UltraSPARC III
memory errors now available (FIN I1018-1).
- Diagnosing Main Memory errors versus L2SRAM errors on UltraSPARC III
and UltraSPARC III Cu systems (FIN I0954-1).
- On certain Sun Systems a small number of 512MB and 1GB Micron DIMMs may experience premature failures with Uncorrectable Memory Error (UE) messages. (FAB 103004) (formerly FCO A0285-1)
- A sub-population of DIMMs that shipped between 2001 and 2002
on the below platforms are showing significantly lower
reliability than expected (FCO A0253-1).
- Systems containing 256MB Samsung B-die DIMMs, having a module date
code between 0115 and 0127 (built between weeks 15 and 27 of 2001),
may experience Uncorrectable Memory Errors (UE). This can lead to System
Panics (FCO A0223-1).
|
| PCI I/O Assembly |
- The QFE network interface is reporting excessive input packet
errors when running back to back stress tests. (FIN I1138-1).
|
| Redundant Transfer Switch (RTS) |
- Sun Fire 6800 Servers may encounter power error issues when system
RTS/RTU units are configured from a single power source. (FIN I1133-1)
- A weak fuse in the Serengeti 3800/48x0/6800 standby RTS blows when
the load from the primary RTS is switched over (FCO A0206-3).
|
| Redundant Transfer Unit (RTU) |
- Sun Fire 6800 Servers may encounter power error issues when system
RTS/RTU units are configured from a single power source. (FIN I1133-1)
|
| System Controller Board |
- Sun Fire 3800/4800/4810/6800, V1280 and Netra 1280 systems may experience
false data parity error messages (FIN I1020-1).
- Sun Fire System Controllers with 5.11.x firmware could experience
a loss of network settings during a firmware upgrade (FIN I0891-1).
- Sun Fire 3800/4800/4810/6800 domains can hang when System Controller
firmware is downgraded from 5.13.0, 5.13.1, or 5.13.2 to 5.12.7 or lower
(FIN I0890-1).
- Systems with redundant SCs may experience failed domains after clock
failure (FIN I0762-1)
- Unexpected behavior from SCs due to downrev firmware (FIN I0756-1)
