DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED:(IS A SITE ENGINEER AVAILABLE?)
T6300 training is desirable but not required

TIME ESTIMATE: 30 minutes

TASK COMPLEXITY: 0

FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

PROBLEM OVERVIEW: SP failure

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 Service Processor

1. Push down on the ejector levers on each side of the service processor until the card is released from the socket.

2. Grasp the top corners of the service processor and pull it out of the socket.

3. Place the service processor card on an antistatic mat.

4. Remove the system configuration PROM (NVRAM) from the service processor card and place the PROM on an antistatic mat.

Install Service Processor

1. Remove the replacement service processor from the package and place it on an antistatic mat.

2. Install the system configuration PROM that you removed from the faulty service processor.
    The PROM is keyed to ensure proper orientation.

3. Locate the service processor slot on the motherboard assembly.

4. Ensure that the ejector levers are open.

5. Holding the bottom edge of the service processor parallel to its socket, carefully align the service processor
    so that each of its contacts is centered on a socket pin.
    Ensure that the service processor is correctly oriented. A notch along the bottom of the service processor corresponds
    to a tab on the socket.

6. Push firmly and evenly on both ends of the service processor until it is firmly seated in the socket.
    You hear a click when the ejector levers lock into place.

7. Return the server module to operation.

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.
