This card describes how the enablecodboard system controller command converts a non-COD
CPU/Memory board (Uniboard) to a COD CPU/Memory board. This command is for the Sun Fire mid­range and high-end systems and is for Sun internal use only.

TABLE1 enablecodboard Command User, Usage, and Minimum Firmware/Software Versions

User Shell, Mode, and Minimum Firmware/Software Versions

Sun service engineers Sun Fire 6800/4810/4800/3800 systems
