Issue Description: 

Change History 
--------------
A0179-1

Date Modified: Sep/18/2002
.FCO re-released after being put on hold in mid-June pending a single
 power cord failure on an internal Seregeti system.  The failure turned
 out to be unrelated to this FCO.

Date Modified: Oct/21/2002
Updates: PROBLEM DESCRIPTION, PLANNED IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETION DATE
. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Changed links to Customer List.  Now one list
		       with better data instead of 3 incomplete lists.
. Added PLANNED IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETION DATE section

A0179-2

Date Modified: Nov/21/2002
Updates: IMPLEMENTATION, CORRECTIVE ACTION
. IMPLEMENTATION: changed from Mandatory to Controlled Proactive
. CORRECTIVE ACTION: Changed "Proactively replace..." to "Replace upon
		     customer request or as needed..."

--------------

Power cords on the Ultra Enterprise E5x00 and E6x00 servers, and
Delorean 72-inch Racks were being assembled with the leads being
pre-tinned prior to mechanical assembly of the connector.  This
pre-tinning of these leads violates UL1950 standard.

Although highly unlikely, it is possible that the pre-tinned
connections could become loose and cause the power connector to
overheat, which could cause the system to lose power and shutdown.

Root cause analysis determined that Sun's assembly drawing called
for tinning the ends of the power cord wires.  This was determined
to be incorrect per UL, CSA and TUV agencies.  Sun drawings have
been corrected and new part numbers have been released via the ECOs
listed in the Reference section above and in the paragraph below.

A worldwide Stopship was generated on February 21, 2001.

Corrective action was made available in Manufacturing via ECO# W0_23305
on March 20, 2002, ECO# W0_23180 on February 21, 2002 and ECO# W0_23873
on May 13, 2002.  Corrective action was made available in Sun Services
via LEAP# 1975 as of March 20, 2002, LEAP# 1953 as of March 13, 2002,
and LEAP# 2006 as of May 10, 2002.

Parts Affected: 

October 31, 2003

Implementation: 

---
|   |   MANDATORY (Fully Pro-Active)
 ---

 ---
| X |   CONTROLLED PRO-ACTIVE (per Sun Geo Plan)
 ---

 ---
|   |   UPON FAILURE
 ---

Replacement Time Estimate: 

1.0 hours

Special Considerations: 

To assist in determining how many power cords should be replaced,
the below table should be used.

 1   180-1943-01   530-2265-02   AC PWR SEQ,US - L6-30P
                   530-2567-02

 1   180-1944-01   530-2266-02   AC PWR SEQ,EURO - IEC 309
                   530-2568-02

Most systems will have one (1) of only one of the above power cords.
A very small number of systems have the Dual Power option installed.
Those systems will have two (2) of one of the above power cords.

 2   180-1954-01   530-2674-01  STOREDGE CAB,US - L6-30P
 2   180-1955-01   530-2675-01  STOREDGE CAB,EURO - IEC 309

All 72-inch StorEdge Cabinets have two (2) AC Power Cord per unit.

Corrective Action: 

Replace upon customer request or as needed all affected power cords
as follows;

 Replace  530-2265-02  or  530-2567-02  with  180-1943-01
 Replace  530-2266-02  or  530-2568-02  with  180-1944-01

 Replace  530-2674-01  with  180-1954-01
 Replace  530-2675-01  with  180-1955-01
