FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS:
- PROBLEM OVERVIEW: How to Remove and Replace a Ultra 40 M2 Workstation SAS Cables
- WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE
RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?:
- WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

1. Power off the system, open and position the chassis, and remove the access panel.
   I. Power off and disconnect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, network connections, and any peripherals.
   II. Disconnect the power cord from the workstation.
   III. Press down the two latches on the side cover and lift the cover off the workstation.
   IV. Using both hands, place the workstation on its side.
   V. Pivot the workstation support leg underneath the workstation.
   VI. Remove the access panel:
     a. Slide the lock block to the front of the system.
     b. Press and release the two latches and lift the access panel.
   VII. Attach the antistatic wrist strap.
   VIII. If your procedure requires it, lift the fan module up and out.
   IX. Find the removal or replacement procedure you need.

2. Using the handle, pull the fan tray from the chassis and set it aside.
3. Remove the current SATA hard drive(s) from the server.
4. Remove and discard the cables currently connected to the HDD backplanes and motherboard connectors.
Note - If there is a card in the PCI-E0 slot, you should remove and relocate it as described in Section 5.4, Replacing PCI Cards of the Ultra 40 M2 Workstation Service Manual.
5. Connect the cables.
Note - Connect the cables before inserting the SAS card in the PCI-E0 slot.
       a. For the Sun Ultra 40, see FIGURE 6-11 and connect the following cables:
             i. Connect the large connector cable to the HDD backplane.
             ii. Using the SAS cable kit, connect the SAS cables to the SAS card connectors before the SAS card is installed.
                  o Connect the cable labeled PHY0 to card connector labeled PHY 0.
                  o Connect the cable labeled PHY1 to card connector labeled PHY1.
                  o Connect the cable labeled PHY2 to card connector labeled PHY 2.
                  o Connect the cable labeled PHY3 to card connector labeled PHY 3.
        b. For the Sun Ultra 40 M2, see FIGURE 6-11 and connect the following cables:
             i. Connect the shorter RED cable (from the lower backplane) to the card connector labeled "Port 0..3"
             ii. Connect the longer ORANGE cable (from the upper backplane) to the card connector labeled "Port 4..7". If no upper backplane is present, leave this cable to dangle.
             iii. If you ordered an external LED cable, connect it from the PCI card to the connector to the right of the battery.

6. Locate the PCI-E0 card slot.
The SAS card is restricted to slot PCI-E0. This restriction is for cable routing purposes only and will not interfere with high end graphics cards that would use the upper slots
7. Use the No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the chassis filler panel from the PCI card slot.
8. Insert the SAS card into the PCI card slot.
To keep the cable out of the air stream, you should route the cable between the power supply and PCI-E0 slot.

9. Reinstall fan module.

10. Replace the system cover.

11. Install the SAS hard drives.

12. If you are finished working, install the side cover, the access panel, power on the system, and verify the installation.
OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE
- WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO
