Location of Flash PROM Jumpers in Sun Enterprise Server Systems

If you previously removed the write-protect/enable jumper, you must reinstall it in order to successfully perform the flash PROM update procedure.

Sun Enterprise 3x00, 4x00, 5x00, and 6x000 systems have a jumper on the clock board, P0601, which controls if the flash PROM can or cannot be updated.

• With the jumper P0601 installed, all the flash PROM can be updated.

• With the jumper P0601 removed, all the flash PROM cannot be updated.

If you previously removed jumper P0601, you must reinstall it before you can complete the flash PROM update procedure.

Installing the P0601 Jumper

To install the P0601 jumper, follow these steps:

1. Halt the system then turn the keyswitch to the Standby position.
