CMM Minimum Version and CMM ILOM Upgrade Requirement (7046303)

In earlier releases of the Sun Blade 6000 chassis, a non-conductive washer was used on the mounting hole screw that holds the PCB to the CMM chassis. Grounding shapes are available on the PCB, but the non-conductive washer prevents the screw from grounding the PCB to the chassis here. This prevents energy, which makes it to the PCB, from returning back to the chassis ground (and allows the energy to travel on to the midplane).

If ordering a new chassis with a Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized 40 GbE Network Express Module preinstalled, you will receive the updated CMM installed in the chassis.

If installing a Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized 40 GbE Network Express Module into an earlier release of the Sun Blade 6000 chassis, you might have to replace the CMM and upgrade the CMM ILOM software.

To determine if you need to replace the CMM and upgrade the CMM ILOM software, check the CMM part number by using the instructions in “Before Installing a NEM” in the Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized 40 GbE Network Express Module User's Guide.
