Workaround 2: Update the DVD combo drive's rmware to v1.12. This option requires your
DVD combo drive to be attached to a system that is running Microsoft Windows. Follow these
steps.
1. Remove your DVD combo drive from the Sun Java Workstation 2100z. See the
workstation's user's guide for steps to remove the drive properly.
2. Connect the drive to a system that is running Microsoft Windows. Make sure to change the
drive's master and slave jumper settings, if needed.
3. Go to AOpen's download center at
http://download.aopen.com.tw/default.aspx.
4. Search for your DVD drive's rmware by using the following information:
■
Product: Combo drives
■
Model: COM5232/AAH
■
Categories: Firmware
5. Download and install the rmware version R1.12.
6. Reinstall the drive on the workstation. If needed, restore the original master and slave
jumper settings.
Note – Newer versions of the rmware might already be available at the site. Sun's tests conrm
that the v1.12 release resolves the panic issue. Sun cannot conrm whether newer rmware
revisions after v1.12 similarly resolve the problem.
