Solution


Applies to:

Sun Fire V490 Server - Version All Versions and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

 Server rebooted automatically without showing any error messages in the explorer or RSC console.

Cause

 Initial symptom only one CPU/Memory board was present in prtdiag.

In addition the RSC environment command shows a temperature value 0 for some of the processors

       P1    64
       P2    0   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Slot A
