Reseat = take it out and put it back in again.
The ecache glitch is a known problem with UII 400MHz processors. If you have
the latest patch kits for Solaris there are workarounds for the design flaw
which causes the crashes.

Subject: [SunHELP] re: cpu problems
Hi,
We got an Ultra 5 with an UltraSparc IIi 400 Mhz processor running Solaris 8
64 bit with kernel patch 108528-05 installed.
It's rebooting itself at least once a day. Sometimes the reboot is
successful,
other times it doesn't come back up.
A quick look in /var/adm/messages tells me that we are getting kernel
panics.
There is also the following message:
[AFT1] Ecache Tag Parity Error on CPU0 Data access at TL=0
The machine is a test box running Netscape Web Server and Weblogic App
Server.
I can't find any patch info from Sun's website regarding this error. The
only
advice I've had is to either reseat the CPU or to replace the CPU.
Two questions:
Is this my only option?
How do you reseat a CPU?
Thanks,
Andrew
