FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR INSTRUCTIONS:
- PROBLEM OVERVIEW:
How to replace a Power Supply and Front Fan Module in a Sun Blade 6000 system.

- WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE
RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?:
You can remove and replace a power supply from a powered-off system or from a powered-on system using a hot-swap procedure. A front fan module is located within each of the power supply modules, so you will need to remove the power supply associated with the fan module before replacing the module.

Caution - Do not leave a power supply slot empty. Power supplies have integrated fans that continue to supply cooling air even when the power supply is off.

Warning - If there is any X6250 blade installed in the Chassis, please refer to Alert 1267797.1 before applying this procedure, as the X6250 motherboard could be damaged if the workaround/resolution section is not followed.

- WHAT ACTION DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE:

How to remove a Power Supply

Caution - To ensure proper system cooling and operation, you must replace the power supply within one minute or you must power off the chassis.

1. In the front of the chassis, locate the power supply to be removed or the power supply that contains the front fan module that you plan to replace.
2. Press and hold the green button on top of the power supply handle.
3. Rotate the power supply handle away from the power supply and down.
4. Pull the power supply out of the chassis approximately 10 cm (4 inches).
5. Choose the instructions below that correspond to the module that you want to replace:
- If you are replacing the whole power supply: While supporting the bottom of the power supply module with both your hands, pull the power supply all the way out of the chassis.
- If you are planning to replace the fan module only :
a. You do not need to remove the power supply from the system any further.

Caution – The fan continues spinning for a moment after the power supply is disconnected. Be careful not to insert a finger or other object into the fan while the fan is still spinning.

b. With one hand, press together the two latches on top of the fan module and pull the module upward.
c. Grasp the module with the other hand as soon as possible and remove the module from the power supply.

Caution - Remove only one power supply at a time. One power supply must be in the system at all times to supply power to the system.

How to install a Power Supply and Front Fan Modules

1. If you are replacing a front fan module, insert the fan module into the power supply.
2. Wait for all LED indicators on the power supply to be extinguished before reinstalling the power supply.
If you do not follow this step, the system might log a false power supply fault condition.
3. Make sure that the power supply is facing up and the five LED holes appear on the left.
4. Pull the power supply handle out and away from the power supply.
5. Slide the power supply into the power supply slot until the unit engages with the internal connectors.
6. Push the power supply handle back toward the power supply until it clicks into place.
