Dvd-Rom Drive Failure - Sun Microsystems Fire V890 Diagnostic Manual

Other types of failures during the on-board controller test usually indicate a problem
with the motherboard or the motherboard FC-AL cable. When testing the PCI
controller, these types of failure messages point to the PCI card or the FC-AL cable
between the card and the base backplane.
In a dual-backplane configuration, removing the FC-AL cables between backplanes
and repeating the test can help to isolate the problem.
