FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

PROBLEM OVERVIEW: How to remove and replace a Battery

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:

Remove the System Battery
The system battery is a cold-service component that can be replaced by a customer.

1. Slide the main module out of the server

2. Remove the cover from the main module and locate the system battery

3. Push the top edge of the battery against the spring and lift it out of the carrier.

Install the System Battery
1. Insert the new system battery in the main module, with the positive side (+) facing out.

2. Install the main module back into the server.

3. If the service processor is configured to synchronize with a network time server using the Network Time Protocol (NTP), the ILOM clock will be reset as soon as the server is powered on and connected to the network.
Otherwise, proceed to the next step.

4. If the service processor is not configured to use NTP, you must reset the ILOM clock using the ILOM CLI or the web interface. For instructions, see the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Documentation Collection.

5. If the service processor is not configured to use NTP, use the ILOM clock command to set the day and time.

The following example sets the date to June 17, 2010, and the timezone to GMT.

-> set /SP/clock datetime=061716192010
-> show /SP/clock

/SP/clock
Targets:
Properties:
datetime = Wed JUN 17 16:19:56 2010
timezone = GMT (GMT)
usentpserver = disabled
Commands:
cd
set
show

Note - For additional details about setting the ILOM clock, refer to the CLI Procedures Guide for Oracle ILOM.

6. Verify that the new system battery is functioning properly.

Verify the System Battery
1. Run ->show /SYS/MB/BAT/V_BAT to check the status of the system battery.
In the output, the /SYS/MB/BAT/V_BAT status should be OK, as in the
following example.
