Issue Description:
Due to a "low stock" status on the 256MB DIMM (P/N 501-5658-01) for Sun
E3x00/E4x00/E5x00/E6x00 Servers, alternate DIMMs have been selected for use.
Affected systems include any Sun Enterprise 3500, 4500, 5500, 6500, or any
Ultra Entrprise 3000, 4000, 5000, or 6000 using 256MB DIMMs.
The new DIMMs are compatable with Sun P/N 501-5658-01 and testing has shown
that they can exist together on the same CPU/Memory board.
Implementation:
---
| | MANDATORY (Fully Proactive)
---

| | CONTROLLED PROACTIVE (per Sun Geo Plan)
---
---
| X | REACTIVE (As Required)

tested and supported.
