18 GB and 36 GB IBM disk drives |
Failure analysis results have
highlighted a significant failure rate for Drive Not Ready (DNR) on returned
IBM 18GB & 36GB disk drives. These failures have been observed to occur
as a result of the disk drives either been stored or operated in an extremely
hot and humid environments. |

FC-AL GBIC Module 100MB/s
(option X6731A, 370-2303) |
This FIN is to inform the
field of a new style GBIC that will be shipping with A5X00 Storage Arrays.
Installing a FINISAR GBIC in any platform other than A5X00 will result in
a restricted access condition which may result in unanticipated downtime.

Fcode upgrade instructions for the FC100/S Host Adapter supplied with
the following luxadm patches can lead to obsolete fcode being installed.
 105310-14
SunOS 5.5.1: Patch for socal, sf driver, and luxadm - 105375-25
SunOS 5.6: sf & socal driver patch
- 107473-06
SunOS 5.7: luxadm patch
- 109529-03
SunOS 5.8: luxadm, liba5k and libg_fc patch
The latest fcode for the FC100/S Host Adapter has been moved to patch
109400-03
for all versions of Solaris. This change is not reflected in the README
files of the luxadm patches currently available (105310,
105375,
107473
and 109529).
These patches still provide a lower version of the FC100/S fcode (1.11)
and give instructions for installing it.

CPU Module |
Solaris kernel patches provide
improved handling and reduction of CPU, Ecache, and main memory errors in
UltraSPARC systems. All customers on Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, 7 and 8 are encouraged
to consider upgrading to these kernel patches as they become available. |

System Board (501-3132-12
or lower), 300 MHz CPU Module (501-4196) |
Ultra 2 Model 1300 UPA Bus
Terminator Module recommended on uni-processor models. An unterminated UPA
bus may exhibit noise problems in very high intensity UPA bus activity applications.
Symptoms may include CPU ECache data parity errors, ECC errors, asynch data
errors or hangs. |

Quantum VK45J05, 4.2GB (370-2809) |
Some Quantum 7200rpm disks
may appear slower than Seagate 7200rpm disks when doing single-disk sequential
writes (eg: running "mkfile"). However, in standard benchmark testing, Sun
has determined the performance of Seagate 7200rpm disks and Quantum 7200rpm
disks to be equivalent. |

200MHz or faster systems. |

Sony Triple Density Floppy
( 370-2151-01) |
Insert card (Read Me First,
802-6812-10) included with 370-2151 floppy drive states that the torroid
cable, 530-2316, is to used only with Sparc 5 and Sparc 20 systems. This
cable MUST also be used to correct a noise sensitivity problem with the
floppy drives in any Sun system. |

167MHz UltraSPARC 2 CPU Module
( 501-2942-01), 167MHz UltraSPARC 2 (501-2942-02) |
New Flash PROM firmware allows
mixing of differing 167MHz UltraSPARC 2. Otherwise, when an UltraSPARC 2,
167MHz CPU module with CPU revision 2.2, and an UltraSPARC 2, 167MHz CPU
module with CPU revision 4.0, are installed in the same Ultra 2 system having
an OpenBoot firmware version of 3.1.2 or lower, the default CPU speed reverts
to 148MHz. |

SBus SCSI Host Adapter |
The SBus SCSI Host Adapter
or SSHA is available in two part numbers, 501-1759 and 501-1850. The FCode
on SSHA 501-1759 is not compatible with the Ultra 2. |

|
Sony Triple Density Floppy
( 370-2151-01) |
Some floppy drives were received
from the vendor at Sun manufacturing with an incorrect select ID jumper
setting (for drive 1 instead of drive 0). The incorrect jumper setting will
prevent the floppy drive from being recognized by the workstation during
boot up or user access. |
