### Documentation Known Issues

Table 12 Documentation Known Open Issues
Bug ID | Description
--- | ---
N/A | When Removing the Motherboard, Remove Memory Risers Before Loosening the Captive Screw Issue: The sequence of actions in the service manual procedure for removing the motherboard is incorrect. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19694-01/E21739/z400085f1293257.html#z400085f1293110 Step 4 should come before Step 2. Remove the memory risers before loosening the captive screw in the corner near the fans.
None | Refer to the Correct Version of Oracle ILOM Documentation Issue: The versions of Oracle ILOM shipped with system software release 2.0 or newer use a different documentation library. Starting with system software release 2.0, refer to the Oracle ILOM 4.0 Documentation Library. Starting with system software release 1.7, refer to the Oracle ILOM 3.2 Documentation Library. For earlier software releases, refer to the Oracle ILOM 3.0 Documentation Library. These libraries are located at https://www.oracle.com/goto/ilom/docs.
None | FMOD Hardware Option Is Not Supported Issue: The original installation and service documentation for the Sun Fire X4470 Server stated that optional flash modules (FMODs) and the associated energy storage module (ESM) and SATA/SAS cable were supported; however, these hardware options are not supported. The English language versions of the installation and service documentation for the Sun Fire X4470 Server has been revised to reflect this change. Removing support for FMODs does not affect the capabilities of the server, because the server's storage drives can also perform the data backup function that the FMODs provided.
None | Incorrect Electrical Specifications in Installation Guide Issue: The Sun Fire X4470 Installation Guide includes incorrect electrical specifications. The correct electrical specifications are as follows: Input Nominal frequencies: 50/60 Hz AC operating voltage range: 100-127/200-240 VAC Maximum current AC RMS per power cord: 12A @ 100 VAC / 12A @ 200 VAC Power Dissipation Max power consumption: 1800 W Max heat output: 6143 BTU/hr Volt-Ampere rating: 1837 VA @ 240 VAC, 0.98 P.F
None | Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant Replaces Name for Sun Installation Assistant Issue: In some of the Sun Fire X4470 Server documentation, Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant is referred to as Sun Installation Assistant (SIA). The name change does not affect the features or functionality of the installation tool.
None | HBA Uses BIOS Configuration Utility to Configure RAID Volume Issue: The operating system installation guides for the Sun Fire X4470 Server indicate in the “Getting Started” sections that if you want to include your boot drive as part of a RAID configuration, you must configure a RAID volume on it using the LSI RAID controller setup utility. This is true for the Sun Storage 6Gb SAS PCIe RAID HBA, Internal (SGX-SAS6-R-INT-Z). However, for the Sun Storage 6Gb SAS PCIe HBA, Internal (SGX-SAS6-INT-Z), you use the BIOS Configuration Utility to configure a RAID volume. For instructions on using the BIOS Configuration Utility to configure a RAID volume, see the Sun Storage 6Gb SAS PCIe HBA Internal Installation Guide. This issue affects the following operating system installation guides: Sun Fire X4470 Server Installation Guide for Oracle Solaris Operating System Sun Fire X4470 Server Installation Guide for Linux Operating Systems Sun Fire X4470 Server Installation Guide for Windows Operating Systems Sun Fire X4470 Server Installation Guide for Virtual Machine Software
None | Getting Software and Firmware Downloads Procedure Is Updated Issue: The procedure "Getting Software and Firmware Downloads" that is documented in the Preface of the Sun Fire X4470 Server Installation Guide has been updated. For the latest instructions for obtaining firmware and software downloads, see Getting Firmware and Software Updates in this Product Notes document.
N/A | Antistatic Wrist Straps Are Not Included With All CRUs and FRUs The service and installation documentation might state that antistatic wrist straps are included with Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs) and Field Replaceable Units (FRUs). This is not always true. Some CRUs and FRUs are shipped without antistatic wrist straps.
