DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED:
None. This is a cold service procedure that can be performed by customers.

TIME ESTIMATE: 60 minutes

TASK COMPLEXITY: 0

FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

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

* Take ESD Precautions
* Components inside the chassis might be hot. Use caution when servicing components inside the chassis.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

A. Remove a PCIe or PCIe/XAUI Riser

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. Remove the PCIe2 cross beam on a SPARC system or PCI mezzanine on the Netra if required.

6. Loosen the screw that secures the riser to the motherboard.

7. Lift the riser up to disengage the connector.

B. Install a PCIe or PCIe/XAUI Riser

1. Repeat steps A.1 to A.4.

2. Align the riser board with the riser connector and press down to engage the connector.

3. Tighten the riser screw.

4. On SPARC system slide the crossbeam into position between the power supply bay and the side of the chassis & tighten the two captive screws. On a Netra system, install the PCI Mezzanine board.

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.
