PROBLEM DESCRIPTION :

Ultra Enterprise E6000 & E6500 system Load Boards can be susceptible
to fatal resets.

Root cause for the Load Board was related to excessive noise
on the 3.3 volt monitoring circuit, which caused the voltage
to go out of specification and generated a Fatal Reset error.
 
An example of a FATAL ERROR reset message follows (reference
bug ID 44953367):
