PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
This FIN is to inform the field of a part number change on the Sun
Blade 100 motherboard. Effective 6/13/2001, the motherboard P/N has
been changed from 375-0096-xx to 375-3061-xx. The new motherboard
(375-3061-xx) IS backward compatible however, the old motherboard
(375-0096-xx) is NOT forward compatible. Both motherboards will be
carried as FRU's.
The part number change from 375-0096-xx to 375-3061-xx was necessary
due to a fabrication change to make the new motherboard fully EMI
(Class B) compliant. Therefore, it is very important to NOT install an
older non-compliant motherboard in a Class B system. Class B systems
can be identified with the letter character "A" on the EZ label.
The new part number change will affect all systems manufactured after
June/13/2001.
Note: 106 systems were manufactured with motherboard P/N 375-0096-06
(note the dash "06"). Part number 375-0096-06 is functionally
equivalent to 375-3061-xx in terms of EMI compliance.
A list of systems (by serial number) manufactured with the 375-0096-06 MB can
be found at:

An example of a fully EMI compliant systems EZ label can be viewed at:

CORRECTIVE ACTION:
The following recommendation is provided as a guideline for authorized
Enterprise Services Field Representatives who may encounter the above
mentioned problem:
In the event a Sun Blade 100 Motherboard replacement becomes necessary,
Please adhere to the following guidelines to replace the motherboards.
. Replace 375-3061-xx (newer version) with like motherboard.
. Replace 375-0096-05 (older version) or lower with like motherboard
until the motherboard is not available. Our depots may substitute with
375-3061-xx motherboards.
. Replace Replace 375-0096-06 or higher with the 375-3061-xx (newer
version).
NOTE: Part number 375-0096-06 or higher is functionally equivalent
to 375-3061-01 in terms of EMI compliancy. These systems have
the letter "A" on the EZ label to indicate the Class B
configuration.
COMMENTS:
None
