Sun Fire[tm] E20K / E25K Server: Repair Procedures
This section provides tips (when available) for the most common repair procedures for the Sun Fire E20K / E25K, which are included in the  Sun
Fire E25K / E20K Systems Service Manual (817-4138).
Clustered Hardware Note: When repairing a clustered system,
you should replace server components by first switching over the data services
to the functioning server, halting the host to be serviced, powering down the
host, and then performing the hardware procedure to replace the component. Following
the procedure, the logical hosts should be switched back to the default masters.
The following table provides the available tips
for each procedure.
| Component |
Tips |
| CPU Board (Slot 0) |
- Reworked UltraSPARC IV 1.2GHz system boards may be downclocked
to 1050MHz due to a misprogrammed SEEPROM.
(FIN I1178-1).
- The Vcore setting for UltraSPARC IV 1350MHz boards should be
1.25V, but some earlier releases of firmware will power on
and operate the board at an incorrect voltage.
(FIN I1166-1).

| CPU Board DIMM (Slot 0) |
|
| Centerplane Support Board |
- The thermcal utility should be run if a Centerplane or Centerplane Support Board (CSB)
is replaced on the Sun Fire 12K/15K/E20K/E25K.
(FAB 1000668.1).
- A limited number of Sun Fire 15K/20K/25K Expander and CSBs are experiencing higher than expected rates of
loss of redundant DC power supplies.
(FCO A0267-1).
