Issue Description: 

==============================================================================
This FCO is now Inactive.  Once an FCO is listed as Inactive, cost recovery
for that FCO ceases and Sun Services may be burdened with the cost to implement
that FCO.  However, the information in that FCO may still be valid and useful
to the field.
==============================================================================

Sun Ray 1 power supply Sun p/n (370-4188-01 or 370-3913-01) may experience an
early life failure, causing the yellow LED (hardware fault) or green LED to
go out (no power - LED off).  This may be accompanied by a "pop" noise and
small smoke emission if the unit is left in the hardware fault condition over
a period of time.  This is not a safety issue or a data loss/corruption issue.
Any Sun Ray 1 shipped prior to October 20th, 2000 may be affected.

Root Cause Analysis determined that this problem was the result of a quality
issue with capacitors used in the power supplies, and provided by a sub-tier
supplier of the assembler vendor.  These capacitors did not achieve lifetime
expectations, with the electrolyte breaking down and causing the capacitors
to vent and the power supplies to fail.

The power supply has been re-designed with new values for capacitors (in an
effort to add additional robustness to the design), and the sub-tier vendor
that supplied these capacitors has been dis-qualified as an approved supplier
for this product.

Corrective action was implemented in Manufacturing by releasing the re-designed
power supply (Sun p/n 370-4188-02) into the Sun Ray 1 FRU (Sun p/n 380-0299-07
or 380-0428-01) via ECO# WO_19158 as of November 21, 2000.

Corrective action was implemented in Enterprise Services via LEAP# 1245
as of November 22, 2000.

Implementation: 

---
| X |   MANDATORY (Fully Pro-Active)
 ---

 ---
|   |   CONTROLLED PRO-ACTIVE (per Sun Geo Plan)
 ---

 ---
|   |   REACTIVE (As Required)
 ---

Replacement Time Estimate: 10 minutes

Special Considerations: 

Not all units should be replaced at once, but must be managed in a phased
approach to minimize resource requirements and size of FRU stock.  Local
Field Service Management should work with customers to plan and coordinate
the actual system replacements as soon as possible.

and Question and Answer documents may be found at the following URL;

Please note that some marketing part numbers represent multiple systems;

BAE100-00               =   1 system
BAE-WG25-00             =  25 systems
BAE-WG50-00             =  50 systems
BAE-WG100-00            = 100 systems
BAE-WG200-00            = 200 systems
BAE-WG300-00            = 300 systems
BAE-999-01-PROMO        =  10 systems

Corrective Action: 

Proactively replace Sun Ray 1 systems, Sun p/n 380-0299-06 (and below) with
Sun p/n 380-0299-07 (or above) or 380-0428-01 (or above) per below priority
exchange plan)...

 1) External customers, with system serial numbers ranging from
    HD936xxxxx through HD941xxxxx (inclusive).

 2) External customers located in Japan.

 3) Internal customers located in Japan.

 4) Remaining external customers with system serial numbers of
    between HD942xxxxx and HD042xxxxx.

 5) Sun Ray 1 Appliances with system serial numbers of below HD936xxxxx
    should be replaced upon failure as it has been determined that these
    units have a very low susceptibility to this failure.

All of an individual customer's units should be exchanged at once,
even if they fall into multiple categories above.

All Sun internal customers, with the exception of Japan, should be replaced
upon failure only.

Comments: 

All Sun Internal customers should follow standard, current processes
for logging a trouble ticket if a Sun Ray 1 failure is experienced.

Based on software licenses for this product it is estimated that
there are 2479 customers which includes some internals.

Note: Sun Ray 100 and 150 appliances are not affected.
