DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

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

TIME ESTIMATE: 240 minutes

TASK COMPLEXITY: 1

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.

NOTE: When replacing motherboard or service processor in LDOMs environment, follow the steps and guidelines in Document 1019720.1 to prevent loss of LDOMs configuration data and to recover LDOM environment after replacement.

NOTE: After replacing the RAID controller (system board), any existing HW RAID volumes (and member disks) may not be seen and need to be recovered (re-activated). If the Disk Volumes (including boot disk/volume) become inaccessible, consult doc ID 1009723.1

NOTE: For information on Internal RAID controllers on T1000/T2000, T5120/T5220/T5140/T5240, V215/V245/V440/V445, Ultra 25/45 and Sun Blade T6300/T6320/T6340 refer to Doc ID 1007109.1.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

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. Remove the PCI-Express card (Document ID 1333675.1)

4. Remove the fan tray assembly and cable (Document ID 1333621.1)

5. Remove the power supply and cable (Document ID 1333660.1)

6. Remove the hard drive and cable (Document ID 1333631.1)

7. Remove all DIMMs from the motherboard assembly (Document ID 1333593.1)

8. Remove the socketed system configuration SEEPROM from the motherboard and place it on an antistatic mat. The socketed SEEPROM contains the MAC address and system configuration information.

9. Replace the PCI-Express card (Document ID 1333675.1)

10. Replace the fan tray assembly and cable (Document ID 1333621.1)

11. Replace the power supply and cable (Document ID 1333660.1)

12. Replace the hard drive and cable (Document ID 1333631.1)

13. Replace the memory DIMMs (Document ID 1333593.1)

14. Replace the socketed system configuration SEEPROM.

15. Follow instructions in Chapter 6 (Sun Fire T1000 Server Service Manual) to finish up hardware servicing.

16. Boot the system and run POST to verify that the system is fully operational.

sc> setsc diag_level min
sc> setkeyswitch diag
sc> poweron
sc> console

Watch the POST output for possible fault messages.

sc> setkeyswitch normal

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

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

Boot and test functionality of system, verify no service LEDs or error messages:
1. Run the Solaris "fmadm faulty" and/or 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, then the component has been replaced successfully. No further action is required
