Description |
| A0182-1 |
C
|
18GB and 36GB IBM disk drives |
18GB and 36GB IBM disk drives experiencing
high failure rate in high humidity and high temperature environments. |
| A0151-1 |
U
|
FDDI 5.0 SAS/DAS (370-3142, 370-3143,
370-2339, 370-2340); SPARCcenter 2000 |
SPARCcenter 2000 will fail Power-On Self-Test
(POST) in extended mode with FDDI 5.0 SBus controllers installed with an
unexpected data_access_exception error which could cause the system to Watchdog
Reset. |
| A0121-2 |
C
|
Exabyte 8mm 8705DX/8900 tape drives |
Improved reliability through firmware
upgrade on Exabyte 8mm 8705DX/8900 tape drives. Multiple problems have been
reported regarding the 8705DX/8900 tape drives: 1) Excessive read retry
soft error reporting, 2) 8705DX cannot read low density tapes with multiple
dd dumps, and 3) 8200 mode incompatibility. |
| A0115-1 |
U
|
Power Supply, 350Watt (300-1315-01) |
350 Watt power supply experiencing slightly
higher than desired failure rate. Some of the failure symptoms include:
1) Fan may contact internal parts causing fan noise, 2) Power supply may
fail with no outputs, and 3. Floppy drive may have read errors because of
a "common mode noise" problem caused by the PCB layout in the power supply. |
| A0113-3 |
U
|
4.2GB 7200 RPM Disk Drive (370-2809) |
After extended run time in heavy disk
access applications and extended power down times, Quantum 4.2GB disk drives
may fail to spin up. These drives are at risk of premature failure due to
oil contamination which causes a stiction failure in the HDA. Only disk
drives in the following FRU serial number range are affected: 0005181-97041Dxxxx
to 0005181-97440Dxxxx. |
| A0109-1 |
C
|
SAS FDDI 5.0 (370-2339-01), DAS FDDI 5.0
(370-2340-01) |
SBus Timeout errors occur during back-to-back
writes using FDDI/S 5.0 boards. The errors arise due to a marginal timing
problem. |
| A0107-1 |
U
|
200MHz CPU Module (501-3132-11) |
A tilted second SBus connector on some
Ultra 1 and Ultra 2 systems does not allow installation of SBus cards. |
| A0106-1 |
U
|
SBus cards |
Ultra 2 with hme0 interface SBus cards
may experience a panic or a hang condition. Failures typically occur within
24 hours of system initialization. The system will not experience this problem
if only the onboard hme0 device is used OR if just one external SBus card
is used. |
| A0102-1 |
U
|
System Board (501-2487, 501-3132) |
Various disk related errors, including
SCSI timeouts, drive offline, and trap 31. The failures are due to the coupled
mode/activity dip problem on the KSS crystal. |
| A0097-1 |
U
|
200MHz CPU Module (501-3041-05 or below;
501-4791-02 or below) |
Ultra 2 200MHz UltraSPARC CPU modules
fail with SRAM and writeback data parity errors. |
| A0084-1 |
n/a
|
SunSwift SBus Adapter Card (X1018A); SWIS/S
SBus Adapter Card (X1063A) |
On some Ultra 1 and Ultra 2 systems with
Fast/Wide single-ended SCSI buses consisting of external devices and 2GB-7200
rpm disk drives, users have reported SCSI write parity errors. The condition
is seen most often when there are internal 2GB-7200 rpm disk drives and
MultiPack-12 (2GB) enclosures are on the same SCSI bus. |
