Two Flash Module (FMod) slots are located on the server module motherboard. FMod power is supplied by the charge stored on the energy storage modules (ESMs). When the server is removed from the power source (the chassis), the ESMs slowly lose their charge.

A Charge Status LED on the motherboard indicates the status of the charge. When the LED is off, the ESMs are not charged. When the LED is on, the ESMs are charged. It is not safe to remove or install the FMods when the ESMs have a charge. Wait until the Charge Status LED is off.

How to Remove Flash Modules

Note - The Sun Blade X6275 M2 Server module is a dual-node server. If necessary, use this procedure for both nodes.

1. If necessary, back up any data that is contained on the Flash Module (FMOD).

2. Prepare the server module for service.

* Power off both server module compute nodes.
* Remove the server module from the Sun Blade chassis. Place it on a flat surface.
* Attach an antistatic wrist strap.
* Remove the server module top cover.

3. Locate the FMOD slot on the motherboard.
A lit green LED next to an FMod slot indicates that the FMod slot is powered on by the energy storage module (ESM). It does not indicate a faulty FMod. The ESM must drain before you can remove the FMod. Wait until the green FMod LED is off before removing or installing an FMod.

4. Wait for the green FMOD LED to go out (about 20 seconds).

5. Rotate both FMOD slot ejectors outward as far as they will go.
This action partially ejects the FMOD from the slot.

6. Carefully lift the FMOD straight up to remove it from the slot.

How to Install Flash Modules

1. Unpack the replacement flash modules and place them on an antistatic mat.

2. Ensure that the ejector tabs are in the open position.

3. Line up the flash module with the connector.
Align the FMOD notch with the key in the connector. This ensures that the FMOD is oriented correctly.

4. Push the flash module into the connector until the ejector tabs lock the FMOD in place.
If the FMOD does not easily seat into the connector, verify that the orientation of the FMOD. If the orientation is reversed, damage to the FMOD might occur.

5. Repeat Step 2 through Step 4 until all flash modules are installed.

6. Return the server module to operation.

* Install the server module top cover.
* Insert the server module into the Sun Blade chassis.
* Power on the server module.
