Netra[tm] t 1400/1405 Servers: Field Information Notices

The following list does not include related external storage FINs, unless they are specific to the system.

Implementation (Impl.):
M
= Mandatory (Fully Pro-Active)

C
= Controlled Pro-Active (per Sun Geo Plan)

R
= Reactive (As Required)

FIN
Impl.
Components Affected Description
I0755-1
C
CPU modules Tuning the ecache_scan_rate parameter of the Solaris cache scrubber provides improved Ecache parity error protection on non-mirrored SRAM UltraSPARC II-based systems.
I0749-1
R
CPU modules OS mapping versus physical location of CPU modules for E420R, E450, U80 and Netra t1400/t1405 systems may lead to incorrect module replacement.
I0724-2
R
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.
I0723-1
C
Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-M1401 (390-0025-01) Toshiba DVD-ROM drives (390-0025-01) cannot boot future Solaris releases from DVD media without a firmware patch.
I0689-1
R
Torque Tool To torque correctly on a specific Sun Products, refer to the Torque tool matrix for correct Torque Bit Type/Size and Torque Setting.
I0665-1
R
Quad Fast Ethernet card (X1034), GBE/P Ethernet card (X1141)

Ultra 80 system board based systems may panic at boot time with certain PCI Bus configurations.

I0642-1
R
System Board (501-5168-17), DC/DC Converter (300-1407-06) Improper insertion of the DC-DC convertor module on certain systems may cause burned pins on the mother board connector.
I0616-1
C
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.
I0607-1
R
Memory Riser card (501-5218-10)

System initialization failures are sometimes being diagnosed incorrectly on Ultra 80, E420R, Netra T 1400 and Netra T 1405 based systems. As a result, wrong FRU's are being replaced and good parts are being returned to repair depots.

In some cases, where the initialization failure is caused by an improperly installed Memory Riser Card, the parts replaced have been the DIMM or the CPU board.

I0543-2
R
Solaris 2.6, HW3 Installation of Solaris 2.6 hw3 on a Netra t1 will fail unless the image has a kernel update patch applied.
I0537-2
R
Memory Riser card (501-5218-10) When replacing the memory riser assembly in one of the above mentioned Ultra 80 based systems, caution should be used when tightening the memory riser assembly thumbscrews that hold the card in position. Failure to properly assemble these parts to the correct torque setting, can cause intermittent memory related system problems. Too little torque can cause no memory to be found in the system upon powerup and too much torque can cause damage to the motherboard Memory Riser card connectors.
