2. Use the output from the POST tests to identify the failing DIMM.
For more information about displaying POST results, see “How to Use POST
Diagnostics” in the Sun Fire 880 Server Service Manual.
3. If POST displays the memory error as an MTAG error, then POST will not identify
the failing DIMM correctly. In this case, see the Info Doc “Identifying MTAG
DIMM errors on the Sun Fire 880” on SunSolve Online web site.
PCI Hot-plug insert message is wrong for slots 7
and 8 (BugID 4546219)
On a Sun Fire 880 system running the Solaris 8 07/01 or 8 10/01 operating system,
the message sent to the console during a hot-plug event on PCI slots 7 and 8 reverses
the slots. If a card is inserted into slot 7, the system will reply to the console with a
message containing the following text.
Device PCI8_CARD inserted
This bug effects only the display of the incorrect slot for the insert message. The
drivers and other related hot-plug activity all occur on the correct PCI slot. When
you continue with the hot-plug procedure by pressing the hot-plug button for the
newly inserted PCI card in slot 7, the power-on message displays the correct slot
number, with a message containing the following text.
card is powered on in the slot hpc0_slot7
Note – For further information about this issue, see the SunSolve Online web site.
