This section provides the most common repair procedures for the
Ultra 80 workstation. The written procedures below are links to the
Sun
Ultra 80 Service Manual (805-6618).

Tips |
| CPU Module |
-
Tuning the ecache_scan_rate parameter of the Solaris
cache scrubber provides improved Ecache parity error protection on
non-mirrored SRAM UltraSPARC II-based systems (FIN I0755-1).
-
OS mapping versus physical location of CPU modules
for E420R, E450, U80 and Netra t1400/t1405 systems may lead to incorrect
module replacement (FIN I0749-1).
-
The current diagnostic procedure to
identify the faulty CPU module from CPU Ecache parity errors is flawed
(FIN I0570-3).
- 440MHz and 450MHz UltraSPARC II Modules in Ultra 60/80, Enterprise
220R/420R and Netra t platforms may experience Red State Exception,
Send Mondo Timeout and hard hangs (FCO A0208-3).

Disk Drive
|
-
Improved firmware for Seagate 10K.6 disk drives will reduce the incidence of unexpected outages due to a spindle motor issue ( I1136-1).
-
18.2GB and 36GB IBM disk drives may be susceptible
to early life failures problem (FIN I0724-2).
- Systems with 18.2GB and 36GB IBM disk drives may experience higher than expected failure rate.
(FCO A0182-2).
|
| Memory Riser Assembly |
- See Memory Riser Assembly Damage
Caution.
- System initialization failures are sometimes being diagnosed incorrectly
due to an improperly installed Memory Riser card (FIN I0607-1).
- Failure to properly assemble the Memory Riser to the correct torque
setting can cause intermittent memory related system problems (FIN I0537-2).
|
| PCI Card |
- Ultra 80 system board based systems may panic at boot time with certain
PCI Bus configurations (FIN I0665-1).
-
SunPCi II and SunPCi IIpro cards may not respond
after rapid/successive power cycling (FCO A0186-1).
- A host system using the 375-0040-01 or -02 FC100/P FC-AL PCI card
to attach to FC-AL storage (StorEdge A5x00 and A3500) may experience
loop errors, which may affect data access to that storage (FCO A0164-1).

|
UPA Graphics Card
|
-
The 'fbconfig' (1M) command may return incorrect
part number for XVR-1000 Graphics Accelerator (FIN I0945-1).
-
SunBlade 1000/2000 and Ultra 60/80 systems may exhibit
a blank screen upon boot up with an XVR-1000 Graphics Accelerator
installed (FCO A0200-1).
