Solution Type FAB (standard) Sure Solution 1000683.1 : Non-RoHS Sun Fire V210 or V240 Systems That Have the Lower Interface Boards Replaced With RoHs Compliant Versions Will Require an OBP Of 4.18.5 Or Greater And ALOM 1.5.4 Or Greater to Function Properly

Impact If the Lower Interface Board on a non-RoHS compliant Sun Fire V210 or V240 is replaced using a RoHS compliant version, the system must contain an OBP version 4.18.5 or later and ALOM version 1.5.4 or later. Symptoms If the OBP is below 4.18.5 it will not recognize the part number of the new RoHS compliant Lower Interface Board, by default this will incorrectly cause a V210 system to be identified as a Sun Fire V240. There will be no error messages displayed when this happens. When the system's ALOM version is below 1.5.4 the ALOM may not offer the user a login prompt. Instead an "sc>" prompt will be displayed, and attempts to execute commands will respond with a message indicating that the admin password needs to be set. Note: Affected parts can be identified by a physical inspection of the part label sticker located on the interface board during replacement. For a SunFire V210: The FRU part number for a RoHS v210 interface board is 371-0792. Some 371-0792 parts were electronically altered to be part number 370-5129 check the sticker label. If "wo_32388" has been added to the label, the board has been altered and can be used with OBP versions lower than 4.18.5. All other boards labeled as 371-0792 require the newer OBP. For a SunFire V240: The FRU part number for a RoHS v240 interface board is 371-0796. All of these boards are affected and require OBP 4.18.5 or greater. Root Cause The part number of the Lower Interface Board signifies to OBP whether the system is a V210 or a V240. The RoHS compliant interface boards use a new part number that is unknown to OBP versions prior to 4.18.5. All RoHS compliant systems that ship with these boards contain OBP versions that recognize these part numbers. However non-RoHS systems already in the field may have an OBP version earlier than 4.18.5 and will not recognize these new numbers. Workaround Update the system's OBP by using patch < Note: There is no patch containing OBP version 4.18.5 this was a manufacturing only release of the OBP. Patch 121684 containing OBP 4.18.10 or later should be used to address this issue. If the system's ALOM is below 1.5.4 - first update ALOM to 1.5.4 or later by downloading the latest ALOM firmware from Sun's download site: http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=415453f9 If ALOM is not offering a login prompt or allowing the console command to be used then perform the following steps to boot Solaris so that the latest ALOM firmware may be applied:
Resolution Support for the RoHS Lower Interface Boards was added to OBP 4.18.5 and ALOM 1.5.4. Modification History Date: 22-JUN-2006
