Applies to:

Sun Fire V490 Server
All Platforms

Symptoms

The Sun Fire[TM] V490 may not pass POST successfully when there are fiber cards (375-3102) in pci (Peripheral Component Interconnect) slot 0 AND slot 1. The error message that is displayed is "DATA ACCESS ERROR".

Changes

This problem is not seen when the cards are installed into any other pci slots.

This problem is only seen using the cards 375-3102 that do not have a version number associated with them AND a bar code label with the QLA2310 designation.

Cause

Firmware interaction issue.

Solution




With OBP at 4.15.6 the error appears as:

0:0>IO-Bridge Tests....Done
0:0>Full Memory Test....Done
0:0>Enable Errors....Done
0:0>INFO:

With OBP at 4.18.6 the format of the error changes slightly:


Enabling system bus....... Done
Initializing CPUs......... Done
Initializing boot memory.. Done
Initializing OpenBoot
Probing system devices
Probing I/O buses
