Sun Enterprise[tm] 4500 Server: Field Change Orders

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

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

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

U
= Upon Failure

FCO

Impl.
Components Affected 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.
A0171-1
U
POST, PRTDIAG Enterprise Servers E4500, E5500 and E6500 may report false error messages when running POST, PRTDIAG, or during system boot-up.
A0163-1
C
Differential Ultra/Wide SCSI, UDWIS/S (370-2443-01) Systems with large quantities of UDWIS/SBus Host Adapters installed may not come up after reboot due to miscommunication between the SCSI host and the target. Large configurations with many UDWIS/SBus Host Adapter cards are more vulnerable due to higher probability of encountering the reboot problem.
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.
A0139-1
U

PGX PCI-based 8-bit Frame Buffer (370-2256-02)

Systems with a PGX PCI-based 8-bit Frame Buffer may display a vertical black stripe when running the OpenWindows environment. This occurs only with frame buffers with an Fcode version 1.09 (determined by reading the label on the EPROM located at U4 on the frame buffer: 113-377-1-109).

A0138-1
C
SBus/FC SOC+ Host Adapters SBus/FC SOC+ Host Adapters may experience recoverable data transfer read errors. This can result in individual user applications, like Oracle, to stop running.
A0136-1
U
Disk Board (501-3113-02) At system power up, the disk board (501-3113-02) does not turn on. This problem may be seen in the field if one of the following two scenario's occur: (1) a disk board is added to a system with a pre-existing disk board or (2) a system is upgraded by adding other modules (CPU, I/O boards, etc). POST will fail with 'SCSI_VDD' error message in DIAG mode.
A0133-1
M
Terminal Concentrator (370-1434-02) When the Annex Terminal Concentrator is powered on, it sends a break signal to each port, bringing down any attached Sun Servers to the OBPROM prompt. Although any attached server can survive a power failure on the Annex Terminal Concentrator, the servers will be interrupted when power is restored to the Terminal Concentrator unless the serial cables are disconnected while the Annex Terminal Concentrator is performing its POST.
