FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

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

Caution – This procedure involves handling circuit boards that are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Ensure that you follow ESD preventative practices to avoid damaging the circuit boards.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

Remove a XFP, PCIe or XAUI Card,

1. Perform the preliminary steps required for cold service procedures.

2. Extend the server to the maintenance position.

3. Remove the top cover.

4. Attach an antistatic wrist strap.

5. Disconnect any cables connected to the card.
Note – If the riser has cards installed in both slots, disconnect all cables connected to both cards.
Tip – Label the cables to ensure proper connection to the replacement card.

5a. (Netra only) Remove the PCI Mezzanine board.

6. Remove the riser that contains the card to be removed.

7. With the riser placed on an antistatic surface, disengage the card from its connector and place it on an antistatic surface.

8. If you are not replacing the XFP, PCIe or XAUI card, install a filler panel in the slot.

Install a XFP, PCIe or XAUI Card,

1. Perform the preliminary steps required for cold service procedures.

2. Locate the proper PCIe/XAUI/XFP slot for the card you are replacing.

3. Remove the PCIe/XAUI/XFP riser.

4. If a PCIe filler panel is installed, remove it.

5. Install the XFP, PCIe or XAUI card into the riser.

6. Reinstall the XFP/PCIe/XAUI riser.

6a. (Netra only) Install the PCI Mezzanine board

7. Connect any data cables required to the PCIe/XAUI/XFP card. Route data cables through the cable management arm.

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

WHAT ACTION DOES THE FE/CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:

Boot system and monitor boot sequence for errors. Test functionality of system:
1. Run the Solaris "fmadm faulty" and SP/ILOM "show faulty" command (if only ALOM is supported run "showfaults -v" command) to verify that the fault has been cleared.
2. Perform one of the following tasks based on your verification results:
   * If the previous steps did not clear the fault, refer to doc 1004229.1 for information about the tools and methods you can use to diagnose and clear component faults.
   * If the previous steps indicate that no faults have been detected, the component has been replaced successfully. No further action is required
3. Restart software applications per applicable administration guides to resume system operation.
