DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED:(IS A SITE ENGINEER AVAILABLE?)
X6275 Trained

TIME ESTIMATE: 30 minutes

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. Removing Flash Modules

1. If necessary, back up any data that is contained on the Flash Module (FMOD).

2. 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.

3. Locate the FMOD slot on the motherboard.

* A lit green LED next to an FMOD slot indicates that the FMOD slot is powered on. It does not indicate a faulty FMOD. Wait for the FMOD LED to go off before installing or removing an FMOD to avoid damaging the FMOD.

4. Wait for the green FMOD LED to go out (about 20 seconds).

5. Rotate both FMOD slot ejectors outward as far as they will go.

* This action partially ejects the FMOD from the slot.

6. Carefully lift the FMOD straight up to remove it from the slot.

B. Installling Flash Modules

1. Unpack the replacement flash modules and place them on an antistatic mat.

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

3. Line up the flash module with the connector.

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

4. Push the flash module into the connector until the ejector tabs lock the FMOD in place.

* If the FMOD does not easily seat into the connector, verify that the orientation of the FMOD. If the orientation is reversed, damage to the FMOD might occur.

5. Repeat Step 2 through Step 4 until all flash modules 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 flash module component information.

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