Solution

DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED:(IS A SITE ENGINEER AVAILABLE?)

Some training in Sun Fire X4470

DELIVERY REQUIREMENT: Immediate

Estimate AP Duration = .75 hours

FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

Data backup not required but recommended as a precaution
Orderly shutdown of applications
Shutdown of OS and power down of server

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

Remove a PCIe Card.

1. Locate the PCIe card that you want to remove.
2. If necessary, make a note of where the PCIe cards are installed.
3. Unplug all data cables from the PCIe card.Note the location of all cables for reinstallation later.
4. Disengage the PCIe card slot crossbar from its locked position and rotate the crossbar into an upright position
5. Carefully remove the PCIe card from the PCIe card slot.
Dikkat - Whenever you remove a PCIe card, you should replace it with another PCIe card or a filler panel; otherwise, the server might overheat due to improper airflow.

Install a PCIe Card.

1. Return the PCIe card slot crossbar to its closed and locked position.
2. Return the server to operation:
1. Install the top cover.
2. Return the server to the normal rack position.
3. Reconnect all power cords to the server power supplies and power on the server.
3. If the PCIe card being installed is replacing a faulty PCIe card, manually clear the PCIe card fault using Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM).For instructions on clearing server faults, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Supplement for Sun Fire X4470 Server (821-0702).
4. Refer to the documentation shipped with the PCIe card for information about configuring the PCIe card, including installing required operating systems. http://www.lsi.com/support/sun
