805-3739-10	Installation Note for QFE Sbus card
       
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:     

At the time UE10000 systems were initially shipped, QFE SBus Card had
FCS'ed on other enterprise system platforms but testing was not complete
on the UE10000 in time to fill orders shipped with UE10000.  A deviation
was written to allow the X1058A QEC SBus Card product to ship as a
substitute until the X1042A (now EOL'ed) or, in this case, the X1049A
had completed the necessary test cycle.

Testing is now complete with the X1049A QFE SBus Card (605-1547-02)
on the UE10000 systems. The QFE Sbus card X1049A (605-1547-02) is 
qualified for use with Ultra Enterprise E10000 systems.  Customers that
have received a X1058A product on deviation are eligible to get a
X1049A QFE SBus Card (605-1547-02) product on a one-for-one substitution. 
Please read the SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS section for due process.
