Notice to Sun SPARCstation 5 Users
A bug exists in some early revisions of the SPARCstation 5. This bug can
cause LabVIEW and other programs to hang the system when executing
certain floating-point operations. When this condition occurs, you must
physically reset the computer to recover. The problem exists in the
firmware of the computer and can occur when running SunOS4.1.3_U1,
SunOS 4.1.4, and Solaris 2.x.
Note This bug has been reported only on early revisions of the 70 MHz and 85MHz
SPARCstation 5.
To determine whether your SPARCstation 5 is affected, perform the
following steps.
Caution Following these steps temporarily interrupts the operation of your computer, so
you should warn anyone who might be using your computer remotely.
1. From your SPARCstation 5 console, hold down the <Stop/L1> key
(located near the upper left corner of your keyboard) and press the <A>
key to break into the PROM monitor.
2. One of the following two prompts appears:
Type b (boot), c (continue), or n (new command mode)>
Type 'go' to resume ok
In the first case, select n to go to new command mode, where you see
an ok prompt. If you already have an ok prompt, skip to step 3.
