Data V490 - Centerplane failed
Hi all,
I'm freshman in this forum. I'm here to ask for your help. A case about Sun Fire V490. But, before starting to ask, I want to tell you the story.

Last week, I was told about a failed V490 in Da Nang City (Vietnam). It could NOT boot. After diagnosing it remotely, I found that the problem may be on the Centerplane Board. So, I took a Centerplane from a running V490 in Ho Chi Minh City and flied to Da Nang City. After replacing the centerplane, the V490 in Da Nang showed the errors :

1:0>ERROR: TEST = Run POST from Memory
1:0>H/W under test = CPU1, All CPU1 Memory
1:0>Repair Instructions: Replace items in order listed by 'H/W under test' above.
1:0>MSG = Incorrect checksum detected!!
Expected: ae51
Observed: 119
1:0>END_ERROR

It was NOT the errors before centerplane replacing.
OK. I called to Ha Noi City and they sent me another V490 the following day. I took the Centerplane from it and put it in the V490 in Da Nang. Problem was solved !

So, obviously, the centerplane caused the errors. But, it was abnormal when I take my Centerplane back to Ho Chi Minh City, put it in the V490 in my site, it showed exactly the errors I saw in Da Nang :

1:0>ERROR: TEST = Run POST from Memory
1:0>H/W under test = CPU1, All CPU1 Memory
1:0>Repair Instructions: Replace items in order listed by 'H/W under test' above.
1:0>MSG = Incorrect checksum detected!!
Expected: ae51
Observed: 119
1:0>END_ERROR

I don't know why and how this errors could occur ! Please advice !

Thank you very much !

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       tures available.
