Re: CP40 malfunction
Hafedh: I recommend having your system upgraded to version 6.1.2 (release update). I have recently observed a similar issue at another site. Installing 6.1.2 fixed the problem at that site. After the upgrade verify that your CP40 style "A" processor is at EPROM ver. 1.20 (check in Sys Mgmt) and the software version (check in the SELECT page, station block) should be V2K_01. Keep in mind, the release update it self only takes about 10 minutes + a reboot of the AW, however the Compliance media CD, which must be installed prior to the release update takes about 1.5 hours on an AW51B box, and about 20 minutes max on an AW51E box. Also, all CP's will require a reboot. More information (release notes) may be found on the Foxboro CSC web. I recommend a review of the "Problems resolved in 6.1.2" section.

I'm sorry to say that I have seen this as well. In my experience, a single CP40 will spontaneously reboot every year or two with the 'Memory Parity' error. I have ten of them, and I have seen it four times in the last two years. When I called TAC, they offered to replace the CPs, but said that as long as they successfully reboot, nothing is wrong. The documentation says that this happens, and you should live with it. Check out HH549, CARS 4171, 4174, 6125, 5830, 6640 and so on. (go to the CSC website and search on "memory parity" - the number of cars will scare you!) I am tempted to put in a long rant about Foxboro's other problems here, but I think we have all heard enough of those. -Joe Joseph A.
