DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

- WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED:

T5440 product training or field experience with other CMT servers.

- TIME ESTIMATE: 60 minutes

- TASK COMPLEXITY: 1

FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS:

- PROBLEM OVERVIEW:  CPU/Memory Module failure.

- WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE
RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?

A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution.
The customer should conduct an orderly software system shutdown. Then power down system and disconnect the power cords.

- WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

A) Remove a CPU/Memory Module

NOTE: A faulty CMP or memory module is indicated with an illuminated fault LED. An illuminated module LED also might indicate a faulty FB-DIMM on that module.

1) Extend the Server to the Maintenance Position

2) Perform Electrostatic Discharge Antistatic Prevention Measures

3) Remove the Top Cover

4)  Identify the module you want to remove.

5) Rotate the ejector levers up and away from the module.

6) Slide the module up and out of the system.


B) Install a CPU/Memory Module

NOTE: If you are replacing a faulty CMP or memory module, you must transfer the FB-DIMMs on the faulty module to the replacement module. Replacement CMP/memory modules do not include FB-DIMMs.

1) Identify the correct slot for installation.

2) Slide the module down into its slot.

3) Rotate the ejector levers down to secure the module into place.

4) Install the Top Cover

5) Slide the Server Into the Rack

6) Use ILOM to clear any related faults.

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

Boot system and monitor boot sequence for errors. Test functionality of system:
1. Run the Solaris "fmadm faulty" and 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
3. Restart software applications per applicable administration guides to resume system operation.
