Tips |
| CD-ROM Drive |
- Booting from CD-ROM on Ultra 5/10 systems might not succeed unless
the system OBP is updated (FIN I0770-1).
|
| CPU Module |
- The system board must have the minimum OBP version (3.19v4) installed
for the Ultra 5/10 333MHZ Sapphire Red CPU module; otherwise, the system
will be non-operational (FIN I0528-1).
|
| Disk Drive (Primary) |
-
Ultra 5/10 workstations may encounter uncorrectable
data errors on IDE disks during boot after using shutdown -y -i5 -g0
command (FIN I0779-1).
- After adding or replacing a disk drive, the following error occurs
when attempting to use the format utility: "corrupt label - wrong magic
number" (FIN I0385-1).
|

3.25.2 (or earlier) are installed (FIN I0598-1).
|
| NVRAM/TOD |
- New NVRAM (525-1817) is incompatible with the Ultra 5/10 system board
(375-0079), so a new system board (375-0115) was created for the new
NVRAM (I0596-1).

| PCI Card |
-
SunPCi II and SunPCi IIpro cards may not respond
after rapid/successive power cycling (FCO A0186-1).

attached to Dual Ultra SCSI PCI cards (FIN I0386-1).
