DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED:(IS A SITE ENGINEER AVAILABLE?)
T1000/T2000 product training recommended, but not required as this is a CRU

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? :

The customer should conduct an orderly software and system shutdown.
System power off is required.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

I.- Replacing a Hard Drive in a Single-Drive Assembly
1. Ensure system is shut down.
2. Follow instructions in chapter 4 (Sun Fire T1000 Server Service Manual) to prepare the system for service.

The chassis cover might be very difficult to remove. If you press too hard on the cover lock button, the front edge of the cover might warp and bind. Also, elastic gasket material on the sides of the chassis might prevent the cover from sliding freely.

To work around this, lightly hold down the cover lock button and push the cover slightly toward the front of the chassis (this assists the unlocking action), then slide the cover approximately one half inch (12 mm) toward the rear of the chassis. You can now lift the cover off the chassis.

3. Disconnect the drive cable from the data/power connector at the rear of the hard drive.
4. Pull the fasteners up on the rear of the single-drive assembly and remove the assembly from the chassis.
5. Unpack the replacement single-drive assembly.
6. Slide the single-drive assembly into the chassis until it mates with the front of the chassis.
7. Push the fasteners down to lock the drive assembly into place in the chassis.
8. Redress the cable through the midwall in the chassis.
9. Reconnect the data cable to the data/power connector on the drive.
10. Follow instructions in Chapter 6 (Sun Fire T1000 Server Service Manual) to finish up hardware servicing.

II.- Replacing a Hard Drive in a Dual-Drive Assembly

NOTE: Please be aware that Disks could be in hardware raid volumes. Refer to following for details on T1000 Hardware Raid: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19076-01/t1k.srvr/819-3249-12/erie-volume-man.html#pgfId-1001201
1. Ensure system is shut down.
2. Follow instructions in chapter 4 (Sun Fire T1000 Server Service Manual) to prepare the system for service.

The chassis cover might be very difficult to remove. If you press too hard on the cover lock button, the front edge of the cover might warp and bind. Also, elastic gasket material on the sides of the chassis might prevent the cover from sliding freely.

To work around this, lightly hold down the cover lock button and push the cover slightly toward the front of the chassis (this assists the unlocking action), then slide the cover approximately one half inch (12 mm) toward the rear of the chassis. You can now lift the cover off the chassis.

3. Disconnect the drive cable from the data and power connectors on the motherboard.
4. Pull the fasteners up on the rear of the dual-drive assembly and remove the dual-drive assembly from the chassis.
5. Determine which of the two hard drives you want to remove.
    1)  The upper drive (drive 1) is typically the data drive or mirror drive.
    2)  The lower drive (drive 0) is typically the boot drive.
6. Remove the drive from the drive bracket. If you are removing the lower drive, you must first remove the upper drive before you can remove the lower drive:
    1)  To remove the upper drive (drive 1):
        A. Disconnect the drive cable from the data/power connector on the upper drive.
        B. Push the drive toward the back of the drive bracket and lift the drive away from the bracket.
    2)  To remove the lower drive (drive 0):
        A. Disconnect the drive cable from the data/power connector on the lower drive.
        B. Push the drive toward the back of the drive bracket and lift the drive away from the bracket.
7. Unpack the replacement hard drive.
8. Install the replacement drive in the drive bracket.
    1)  To replace the lower drive (drive 0):
        A. Install the replacement drive in the lower drive slot in the drive bracket.
        B. Push the drive firmly toward the front of the drive bracket until the hard drive is completely seated.
        C. Plug the DRIVE 0 connector on the drive cable into the data/power connector on the lower drive.
       Make sure the connector is correctly oriented before plugging it into the data/power connector on the drive.
    2)  To replace the upper drive (drive 1):
        A. Install the replacement drive in the upper drive slot in the drive bracket.
        B. Push the drive firmly toward the front of the drive bracket until the hard drive is completely seated.
        C. Plug the DRIVE 1 connector on the drive cable into the data/power connector on the upper drive.
       Ensure that the connector is correctly oriented before plugging it into the data/power connector on the drive.
9. Slide the drive assembly into the chassis until it mates with the front of the chassis.
10. Push the fasteners down to lock the drive assembly into place in the chassis.
11. Redress the cable through the midwall in the chassis.
12. Route the drive data cables underneath the power supply cable.
13. Plug the power connector on the dual-drive cable to the power connector on the motherboard.
14. Plug the data connector marked J5003 on the cable to the J5003 data connector on the motherboard (the connector farthest from the power supply).
15. Plug the data connector marked J5002 on the cable to the J5002 data connector on the motherboard (the connector closest to the power supply).
16. Follow instructions in Chapter 6 (Sun Fire T1000 Server Service Manual) to finish up hardware servicing.

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

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

Perform the necessary administrative tasks to reconfigure the hard drive.
The procedures that you perform at this point depend on how your data is
configured. You might need to partition the drive, create file systems, load data from backups, or have the data updated from a RAID configuration.
