• Part No: 371-2881-01
• Part Description: FRU, Tape Kit, Access Cover Latch

Conductive metal shavings could create a thermal or short circuit event if they accumulate on the system board, leading to loss of service.

Any Sun Fire V215 system with a serial number of 0646 or lower is potentially affected.  Therefore this impacts any V215 system manufactured in year 2006, week 46 or before.

Additionally, Sun Fire V215 systems with serial numbers / date codes between and including 0650 through 0647 that shipped to Japan are also impacted.  This is due to a rework delay at MSL China which only ships to Japan.

The CPU heat sink on the Sun Fire V215 system may generate metal shavings due to abrasion after repeated openings and closings of the system cover when it comes in contact with the latch on the rear cover.

The root cause was an error in design which left no space between the heat sink and the cover.

Corrective action was made available in Manufacturing via ECO# WO_34830 starting on February 5, 2007.  Systems having a serial number of LL0712FL600G or above are not impacted by this issue.

Corrective action was made available in Service in the form of a Tape Kit FRU via ECO# WO_35205 and GSAP 3844 as of March 14, 2007.

As of publication date for this asset, no occurrences of this issue in the field have been seen.

Material Availability

At the time of this FAB's publication these kits were in extremely short supply.  However, it is estimated that a sufficient quantity of kits will be available in all Regions mid to late June of 2007.

The above is only an estimate.  Please check with your Logistics Representative for more information with regard to material availability before committing a specific remediation timeframe to your customers.

Hot Swappable: No

- Take paper off tape.

- Stick tape on the rear cover top latch and ensure that the tape edges have firmly adhered to the surface.
