Pearce) Newsgroups: comp.sys.sun Subject: Sun memory board errors Message-ID: <26572@bu-cs.BU.EDU> Date: 20 Dec 88 13:48:47 GMT Sender: usenet@rice.edu Organization: Sun-Spots Lines: 42 Approved: Sun-Spots@rice.edu Original-Date: 10 Dec 88 19:07:25 GMT X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 7, Issue 65, message 5 of 22 We have had several error messages of the following type on 2 systems: (1) Sun 4/280 Sun 3.2 SPARC 32 meg (4 8-meg boards) mem3: soft ecc addr 469710 syn 75 48 U1848 mem3: soft ecc addr 469710 syn 75 48 U1848 (2) Sun 3/280 Sun 3.5 24 meg (3 8-meg boards) mem1: soft ecc addr 5291f8 syn 19 26 U2126 mem2: soft ecc addr 76ad58 syn b 30 U2130 mem2: soft ecc addr 72c100 syn 23 07 U1907 I would like to know the following: What board is the error happening on - is 'mem0' the first 8 meg board? (and mem1 the second, etc) (the Sun FE I talked to "thought" so - does anybody know for sure?) How many errors should occur before I should start worrying about replacing the board? (Sun FE says 'several hundred' - I don't think it is right to put up with errors when you have a hardware service contract) How do you read the error message? Can you tell where the error occurred down to which chip it is?
