The article at sun.com/msg/SUN4U-8000-2S will tell you what to do.
In this case you have a DIMM which has gone bad, identified by its
slot and J number location shown above.  You should shut down the
system when you can and replace that DIMM.  Run "fmadm faulty" on
a subsequent reboot to confirm that we detected the DIMM replacements;
on some legacy platforms we can't, so you'll need to run
"fmadm repair 2f14680f-5aa7-cee7-b760-ccd72f1595f5" afterward.
