Issue Description: 

The Sun Ray 1 (Network Appliance) is currently shipping with a Trouble
Shooting Guide (pn 805-7871-10) which contains incorrect "Action to
Take" information for a specific failure Icon.  

Sample of the incorrect Icon notation shown below:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|      Icon	   |	   What it means	 |    Action to take	|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|                  |                             |                      |
|                  | An unrecoverable hardware   | Contact your system  |
|  -------         | failure has occurred.       | administrator for a  |
|  |     |         |                             | new unit.*           |
|  |     |         |                             |                      |
|  |     |   ---   |                             |                      |
|  |     |---| |   |                             |                      |
|  |     |   ---   |                             |                      |
|  -------         |                             |                      |
|                  |                             |                      |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The "Action to Take" instruction to obtain a new unit is incorrect and
could cause many NTF Sun Ray 1 units to be returned to Sun.  

The "Action to Take " should only indicate "Contact your System Admin-
istrator".

Implementation: 

---
        |   |   MANDATORY (Fully Pro-Active)
         ---    
         
  
         ---
        |   |   CONTROLLED PRO-ACTIVE (per Sun Geo Plan) 
         --- 
         
                                
         ---
        | X |   REACTIVE (As Required)
         ---

Corrective Action: 

As a result of the above mentioned document error, a new "Quick
Reference" (pn 805-7871-11) will be printed to replace the
current Trouble Shooting Guide, to correct the error.

Example of the correction in the new Quick Reference Guide shown below:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|      Icon	   |	   What it means	  |    Action to take	|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|                  |                              |                     |
|                  | A unit failure has occurred. | Contact your system |
|  -------         | The unit tried to download   | administrator.      |
|  |     |         | from the server to the PROM, |                     |
|  |     |         | but failed.                  |                     |
|  |     |   ---   |                              |                     |
|  |     |---| |   |                              |                     |
|  |     |   ---   |                              |                     |
|  -------         |                              |                     |
|                  |                              |                     |

Comments: 

*The expected availability date for the new "Quick Reference" Documentation
 is 12/31/99.  The new reference cards will ship with new system orders,
 but will not be sent to installed base customers.

Implementation Footnote:

     contact all affected customers to recommend implementation of 
     the FIN.

     support teams will recommend implementation of the FIN  (to their  
     respective accounts), at the convenience of the customer.

     need arises.
