DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED:(IS A SITE ENGINEER AVAILABLE?)
T4-1B training is desirable but not required

TIME ESTIMATE: 30 minutes

TASK COMPLEXITY: 0

FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

PROBLEM OVERVIEW: failed RAID Expansion Module (REM)

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

Shut Down the Oracle Solaris OS
Prepare the Server Module for Removal
Remove the Server Module From the Modular System
Remove the Cover
ESD Safety Measures

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

Remove a REM

1. Lift up on the REM lever.
2. Rotate the card up and off the retainer.
3. Set the card on an antistatic surface.

Install a REM

1. Align the REM for installation.
2. Slide the end of the REM that is opposite the connector under the tabs of the plastic standoff.
3. Press the REM until the connector is fully seated on the motherboard.
If there is a rubber bumper on the REM, you can press down on it directly to seat the connector.
4. Return the server module to operation.
5. Configure or verify the RAID after installing the REM.

NOTE: When replacing a system board or REM card on T3 or T4 systems, certain procedures will need to be followed if on board hardware raid volumes are configured. Re-activate any RAID volumes that existed prior to replacing the motherboard. Only perform this task if your system had RAID volumes prior to replacing the motherboard. For details refer to doc 1387771.1.

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, the component has been replaced successfully. No further action is required
3. Restart software applications per applicable administration guides to resume system operation.
