This section provides tips (when available) for the
most common repair procedures for the Sun Fire V490. The repair
procedures are provided in the following manual:
| Component |
Tips |
| CPU/Memory Board |
- Marginal seating of Sun Fire V490 and V480 CPU/Memory boards is causing hard to diagnose non-fatal,
fatal, and CPU/Memory board power-on faults (FAB 1000557.1).
|
| Memory |
- On certain Sun Systems a small number of 512MB and 1GB Micron DIMMs may experience premature failures with Uncorrectable Memory Error (UE) messages. (FAB 1000920.1) (formerly FCO A0285-1)
-
Applications using large memory page sizes on UltraSPARC IV+ CPUs may hang or core dump (FAB 1001194.1).
|
| Disk Drive |
-
Improved firmware for Seagate 10K.6 disk d
rives will reduce the incidence of unexpected outages due to a spindle
motor issue (FIN I1136-1).
- Seagate Cheetah 7 146GB FC-AL and 73 GB FC-AL disk drives
may experience higher than expected failure rates due to
spindle motor failure (FCO A0256-1).
|
| IDPROM Module |
- USB failures seen on V480/V490 systems with OBP 4.17.1 and 4.18.2. (FAB
1000377.1).
|
| Graphics Card |
- XVR-600 graphics card can cause rendering performance issue when
performing simultaneous rendering update with OpenGL windows. (FIN I1161-1).
|
| CPU Modules |
- Panther 1500MHz CPU/Memory boards (501-7058-xx) are being replaced unnecessarily. (FAB 1000220.1).
- OBP update required for Panther based Sun Fire V490 and V890 systems to enhance
Processor Illegal Command Detection. (FAB 1017414.1).
