Ultra 5
Ultra 10 |
Ultra 5/10 systems running
an OS earlier than Solaris 8 10/00 (U2) might experience data loss or garbled
output to parallel printers when printer cables longer than 10 feet (3 meters)
are used. |
| I0779-1 |
C
|
IDE Disk Drives |
Ultra 5/10 workstations may
encounter uncorrectable data errors on IDE disks during boot after using
shutdown -y -i5 -g0 command. |
| I0770-1 |
R
|
CD-ROM |
Booting from CD-ROM on Ultra
5/10 systems might not succeed unless the system OBP is updated. |

POWER SUPPLY 200W ULTRA 5 (370-3162-02)
POWER SUPPLY 250W ULTRA 10 (370-3171-02)
POWER SUPPLY 200W A-PFC (370-4326-01)
POWER SUPPLY 250W A-PFC (370-4325-01) |
This FIN is to notify the field of a part
change on the Sun Ultra 5 or Ultra10 Power Supply Unit. Effective Jan/01/2001,
the PSU part number will change from 370-3162-xx/370-3171-xx to 370-4326-xx/370-4325-xx
respectively. The new Ultra 5/U10 PSU (370-4326-xx/370-4325-xx) is backward
compatible. However, the old PSU (P/N# 370-3162-xx/370-3171-xx) is not forward
compatible. Both PSU's will be carried as FRU's. |

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. |
| I0598-1 |
R
|
Micron memory (370-3796-02,
370-3797-02, 370-3798-02, 370-3799-02) |
Ultra 5 and Ultra 10 systems
might not boot if Micron memory and OBP 3.25.2 (or earlier) are installed.
Ultra 5 and Ultra 10 motherboards with Open BootPROM (OBP) version 3.25.2
AND with 360MHz, 400MHz, or 440MHz CPU modules are not compatible with memory
from the Sun supplier Micron. The new Micron MTxLDxx72FG-5 series EDO memory
is only compatible with OBP version 3.25.3 (or later). |
| I0596-1 |
R
|
System Boards (375-0079/375-0115)
and NVRAM (525-1817) |
New NVRAM (525-1817) is incompatible with the Ultra 5/10 system board
(375-0079), so a new system board (375-0115) was created for the new NVRAM.
And, approximately 1,200 system boards (375-0115) with the new NVRAM
were incorrectly labeled with the 375-0079 part number.

R
|
Speaker (370-3170, 370-4212) |
New speaker design implemented
in Ultra 5 to resolve harmonic noise issue is not backward compatible. All
Ultra 5 systems have been shipping with newly designed speakers since May
2000. The new speaker is not backward compatible with the old style speaker. |
| I0577-1 |
C
|
Solaris 7, Solaris 2.6, and
Solaris 2.5.1 |
A driver patch is required
before you can use mirroring features of Solstice DiskSuite (SDS). |
| I0535-1 |
R
|
440MHz CPU upgrade kit (806-3163-10) |
Documentation shipped with
the Ultra 10 440MHz Upgrade Kit states that the upgrade can also be used
in the Ultra 5. This is correct. |
| I0528-1 |
C
|
333MHz UltraSPARC IIi Module,
Sapphire Red ( 501-5568) |
The system board must have
the minimum OBP version (3.19v4) installed for the Ultra 5/10 333MHZ Sapphire
Red CPU module; otherwise, the system will be non-operational. |
| I0416-1 |
R
|
Solaris 2.5.1 HW 11/97 and
Solaris 2.6 |
If system configured as an
AutoClient or Diskless Client running Solaris 2.5.1 HW 11/97 or Solaris
2.6, the system may hang or crash during boot. |
| I0415-1 |
R
|
Solaris 2.5.1 Hardware 11/97
CD |
Some copies of the Solaris
2.5.1 Hardware 11/97 CD will not boot on Ultra 5 and Ultra 10 systems. |

System Board |
Ultra 5 and Ultra10 systems
may experience fuzzy video, slow booting, and serial port hang when using
the external clock source as transfer clock in SYNC mode (X.25).
Provides same information as FCO A0128-2.
It has additional information about the PROM update to 3.11, version 9.

Dual Single-Ended Ultra/Wide
SCSI, PCI (375-0005); Dual Differential Ultra/Wide SCSI, PCI (375-0006) |
Ultra 5/10 systems may encounter
errors when booting from SCSI devices attached to Dual Ultra SCSI PCI cards. |
| I0385-1 |

|
4.3 GB disk drive (370-3176-01)
or add-on IDE disk drives |
After adding or replacing
a disk drive, the following error occurs when attempting to use the format
utility: "corrupt label - wrong magic number". This means that the new disk
drive is unlabeled. The disk must be labeled before it can be formatted. |
