Cisco is having to replace all the B440 blades that are deployed:
Update:
The firmware upgrade initially prescribed in this Field Notice has successfully detected FET failures and shut down servers, preventing a potential thermal event. Since this upgrade was released, however, a FET failure on a UCS B440 Blade Server has resulted in a second incident as described above. Cisco is directly contacting UCS B440 Blade Server customers and will replace UCS B440 Blade Servers currently deployed at customer sites. Cisco is making UCS B440 Blade Server hardware modifications, and a hardware replacement program has been launched.
I wonder what kind of hit Cisco will have to take to the bottom line to replace all of the B440 blades!!!!!

ReplyDeleteI think Cisco will be lost the customer confidence. As a result blade market share will decrease rapidly. Actually, the advantages of Cisco Blade are fabric technology. However, it is not enough to persuade customers choose Cisco Blade.
