Fan Speed Message
Fan speed message says “WARNING” instead of “NOTICE” when the fan changes
speed. The fans will go from low to high speed when either CPU, AISC or board
temperatures cross 80C, 95C and 65C respectively. The system is OK and still within
the thermal specification when this “WARNING” message appears.
Firmware On Replacement Boards
After installing a board or assembly the service provider must check the firmware
version on the new board or assembly using the
showboards -p proms
command
to determine if the firmware needs to be updated. If an update is required use the
system controller
flashupdate
command. Refer to the Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800
System Controller Command Reference Manual for details on the

command.
