Issue Description: 

Certain 400MHz and 464/466MHz UltraSPARC II Modules supported on
Ultra Enterprise 10000, and Ultra Enterprise 3500 - 6500 systems may
experience early life failures resulting in system reboots or system
panics due to Uncorrectable Memory Errors.  This issue is related to
a socket problem on the module.

A limited number of systems manufactured between August of 2002 and
December 23, 2002 may contain affected CPU modules.  The probability
of experiencing the described issue is considered low at less than
or equal to 10%.

Modules installed before August of 2002 tend not to be affected by
this issue.  Therefore, customers that match this criteria should
not take any action unless their system is experiencing errors as
described in this FCO.

Modules that were installed after August of 2002 and before December
of 2002, but have been in operation for 120 days or more tend not
be affected by this issue.  Affected modules will typically show
symptoms within the first 30 to 90 days of operation.  Customers
that have seen no failures after 120 days operation should not take
any action.  Therefore, as of November 30, 2003 all systems should
be past this 120 day window and will no longer be subject to this
situation.

When this issue occurs the system may reboot with the following type of error:

Through failure and root cause analysis, it has been determined
that the socket manufacturing process variation widened, resulting in
a small, but unacceptable, number of sockets being manufactured outside
of the product design specification. This process drift and resulting
variation in quality of the CPU socket and has been identified as the
root cause of the CPU module symptoms listed above.

It is important to note that:

1) This is not a CPU, CPU socket or CPU module design problem.

2) While this variation in quality did widen, the vast majority of sockets
   are still within design specification and will function as expected.

3) The widened variation in the manufacturing process has resulted in
   the potential of a small number of out of specification parts
   in any batch or lot of sockets rather than some good batches and
   some bad batches.  Therefore, Sun is not able to track the out of
   specification sockets to specific CPU modules or date codes.

All affected products were placed on Stopship as of December 23, 2002.
According to the StopShip/Purge document (P001-20091.A11) all affected
systems and xoptions were taken off Stopship and began shipping again
as of March 6, 2003.

Corrective action was officially made available by ECO releasing new
part numbers (as shown in the Corrective Action section of this FCO)
which incorporated the new socket.

Corrective action was made available in Sun Services by releasing
LEAP 2211 on February 28, 2003.
