PROBLEM OVERVIEW: battery failure

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :
The customer should conduct an orderly software system shutdown. Then power down system and disconnect the power cords. A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution.


WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

A) Replace the System Battery

The system battery is in a spring-loaded carrier that is located between riser 0 and the power supply housing.

1. Take ESD Precautions

2. Extend the server out of the rack.

3. If you can access the rear area of the server without removing the server from the rack, go to Step 4, otherwise remove the server from the rack:
* Unplug all cables from the server.

4. Remove the top cover.

4a. (Netra only) Remove the PCI Mezzanine board.

5. Remove riser 0 leftmost riser as viewed from the rear of the server.

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

7. Insert the new battery into the battery carrier with the negative side (-) facing out.

8. Replace riser 0.

8a. (Netra only) Install the PCI Mezzanine board.

9. Replace the top cover.

10. Return the server to its operational position in the rack.

11. Restore power to the server.

12. Use the ILOM clock command to set the day and time.

The following example sets the date to June 17, 2010, the time to 16:19:56, 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

B) Verify the System Battery

1. Run show /SYS/MB/BAT to check the status of the system battery. In the output, the /SYS/MB/BAT status should be “OK”, as in the following example.

-> show /SYS/MB/BAT
/SYS/MB/BAT
 
Targets:
 
Properties:
type = Battery
ipmi_name = MB/BAT
fault_state = OK
clear_fault_action = (none)
 
Commands:
cd
set
show
 
->

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:
Verify system functionality, make sure no service LEDs or messages. Restart software applications per applicable administration guides to resume system operation.
