OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

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

A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution.
The customer should conduct an orderly software system shutdown.

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

Removing DVD, Tape Drive or other Optical media Drive

Note – The instructions in this section apply to any removable media drive, such as a DVD+-RW or a tape drive.

Note – The Sun Blade 2500 workstation can accommodate multiple internal media drives such as an additional CD-RW, or tape drive.

1.Power off the system, open the chassis, attach the antistatic wrist strap, and remove the bezel.

2.Locate the optical drive to be removed.

3.Disconnect the interface cable(s).

Note – If a optical drive is installed along with a tape drive, disconnect the interface cable only from the media drive you are removing.

4.Disconnect the power cable(s).
The power cable is located at the back of the optical drive and is connected to the SCSI backplane.

Note – 6-pin power supply and cable connector P5 is routed from the power supply to the SCSI backplane. A 4-pin power cable (jumper) is then routed from the SCSI backplane to the optical drive. This provides power from the power supply to the optical drive.

Note – To supply power to an optional CD-RW or tape drive use power supply connector P7, P8, or P9.

5.Squeeze together the two green plastic tabs on the front sides of the optical drive and pull the optical drive straight out of the removable media bay.

6.Set the optical drive down on an antistatic mat.

7.Detach the green plastic drive rails off the sides of the optical drive.

Installing the DVD, Tape Drive or other Optical media Drive

1.Power off the system, open the chassis, and remove the bezel.

2.Locate where the optical drive installs into the removable media bay.

3.Remove the new optical drive from its packaging.

4.Snap the drive rails into the lower pair of holes on both sides of the optical drive.

5.Verify that the optical drive is configured for master (MA) mode operation.

Note – The location of the master (MA) jumper might vary depending on the manufacturer of the optical drive.

6.Slide the optical drive into the removable media bay until the drive rails click.

7.Connect the optical drive power cable, optical drive interface cable, inspect the optical drive and cabling connection

8.Install the access panel, power on the system, and verify the component installation.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN the SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:

Restart software applications per applicable administration guides to resume system operation.
