FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR INSTRUCTIONS:
PROBLEM OVERVIEW: Faulty System Board or included component on system board

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/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE?:

Removing the System Board

1. Power off the server, remove the server from the rack, open the bezel, and remove the top cover and airduct.

2. Locate the system board. The system board is located in the chassis.

3. Remove the DVD module or filler panel, remove the SCC, the DVD assembly, hard drives, SAS IF assembly. fans 4 and 5. power supply and PCI card, if installed. Remove SAS board, the memory

4. Using a No. 2 screwdriver, remove the two screws that secure the PCI card retainer rail. Set the rail aside.

5. Using a No. 2 screwdriver, remove the screw that secures the SAS cables to the system board. Set the cable aside.

6. Disconnect any remaining cables from the system board. For example, F0, F1, and J16.

7. Use a jeweller’s flatblade screwdriver to remove the two screws that secure the SCSI port to the chassis rear panel.

8. Use a 4.5 mm nut driver to remove the two screws that secure the serial port to the chassis rear panel.

9. Remove the remaining screws and standoffs that secure the system board to the chassis.

10. Slide the system board forward, and lift it from the chassis.

Caution – Do not power on the server without the system board installed.

11. Replace the system board.

Installing the System Board

1. Locate where the system board installs. The system board installs in the chassis.

2. Remove the replacement system board from its shipping container and antistatic packaging.

3. Locate the CPU heat sink assemblies on the system board.

4. Detach the fan power cable connectors from the system board. Follow the fan power cables from the fans to the cable connectors on the board

Note – The connectors for the CPU0 heat sink fans are labeled P0 F0 and P0 F1 on the system board, and the connectors for the CPU1 heat sink fans are labeled P1 F0 and P1 F1.

5. Unlock the heat sink from the CPU socket by first pressing down on the fasteners securing the heat sink assembly and then lifting them up.

6. Perform the appropriate step for your situation:

■ If the heat sink is free after the heat sink fasteners are disconnected, carefully
remove the heat sink.

■ If the heat sink is firmly attached to the CPU, twist the heat sink in a clockwise
direction and then in a counter-clockwise direction. Repeat this twisting motion
until the heat sink releases, and carefully remove it.

■ If the heat sink is not free after repeated twisting, you must use the heat sink
removal tool included in your kit to remove the heat sink.

7. (Optional) Remove the heat sink using the heat sink removal tool.

Caution – Do not attempt to remove the heat sink with one motion of the tool. This might break the CPU socket.

8. Once the heat sink is free, set it upside down on the work surface.

Note – Do not touch or contaminate the exposed thermal interface material on the heat sink or the top of the exposed CPU.

9. Using a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws securing the fans to the heat sink and remove the fans.

There are two screws securing each fan. Set the fans and screws aside after removing them from the heat sink.

10. Carefully replace the heat sink on to the CPU and secure the heat sink by first attaching the rear clips and then pushing down the two front fasteners to the CPU socket.

11. Configure jumper JP4 on the system board to bridge pins 5 and 6 only.

Caution – Setting JP4 incorrectly might prevent the Netra 210 server from booting, or might damage the system board.

12. Position the system board over the chassis, lowering the rear of the system board to match with the openings on the rear panel.

13. Lower the front of the system board to the chassis, aligning the mounting holes.

14. Use a jeweller’s flatblade screwdriver to install the two screws that secure the SCSI port to the chassis rear panel.

15. Use a 4.5 mm nut driver to install the two screws that secure the serial port to the chassis rear panel.

16. Install the 11 screws and standoffs that secure the system board to the chassis.

17. Connect any loose cables to the system board. For example, F0, F1, and J16.

18. Using a No. 2 screwdriver, install the screw that secures the SAS cables to the system board.

19. Using a No. 2 screwdriver, install the two screws that secure the PCI card retainer rail.

20. Install all components removed

21. Install the air duct and top cover, close the bezel, install the server into the rack, power on the server, and verify the installation.
