FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

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

Take ESD Precautions

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

A. Identifying Faulty DIMMs

1. Prepare the server module for service.

* Power off both server module compute nodes.
* Remove the server module from the Sun Blade chassis. Place it on a flat surface.
* Attach an antistatic wrist strap.
* Remove the server module top cover.

2. Press and hold the Remind button on the motherboard to identify a faulty DIMM. An amber LED lights near the faulty DIMM.

3. Note the location of faulty DDR3 DIMMs slots on the motherboard of the server module.

* DIMMs are identified with a corresponding amber LED on the motherboard.

4. Ensure that all DIMMs are seated correctly in their slots and in conformance with the DIMM population guidelines at.

* If re-seating the DIMM does not fix the problem, remove and replace the faulty DIMM.

B. Removing DDR3 DIMMs

1. Repeat Step A-1.

2. Press the Remind button on the motherboard to locate the failed DIMMs.

3. Locate the DIMM slot on the motherboard.

* A lit LED next to a DIMM slot indicates a faulty DIMM.

4. Rotate both DIMM slot ejectors outward as far as they will go.

* This action partially ejects the DIMM from the slot.

5. Carefully lift the DIMM straight up to remove it from the slot.

C. Installing DDR3 DIMMs

1. Unpack the replacement DDR3 DIMMs and place them on an antistatic mat.

2.Ensure that the ejector tabs are in the open position.

3. Line up the replacement DDR3 DIMM with the connector.

* Align the DDR3 DIMM notch with the key in the connector. This ensures that the DDR3 DIMM is oriented correctly.

4.Push the DDR3 DIMM into the connector until the ejector tabs lock the DDR3 DIMM in place.

5.Repeat Step 2 through Step 4 until all replacement DDR3 DIMMs are installed.

6. Return the server module to operation.

* Install the server module top cover.
* Insert the server module into the Sun Blade chassis.
* Power on the server module.

7. Verify and view DIMM component information.

* Use the ILOM web interface or CLI. Refer to the corresponding ILOM documentation collection.
