Replacing Cold-Swappable FRUs |
This chapter describes how to replace cold-swappable, field-replaceable units (FRUs) in the Sun Fire V215 and V245 servers.
The following topics are covered:
For a list of CRUs and FRUs, see Section B.1, Customer and Field-Replaceable Units.
|
Caution - Never attempt to run the server with the covers removed. Hazardous voltage present. |
|
Caution - Equipment damage possible. The covers must be in place for proper air flow. |
This section describes important safety information that you need to know prior to removing or installing parts in the Sun Fire V215 and V245 servers.
For your protection, observe the following safety precautions when setting up your equipment:
The following symbols might appear in this document, note their meanings:
|
|
Caution - There is a risk of personal injury and or equipment damage. To avoid personal injury and equipment damage, follow the instructions. |
|
Caution - Hot surface. Avoid contact. Surfaces are hot and might cause personal injury if touched. |
|
|
Caution - Hazardous voltages are present. To reduce the risk of electric shock and danger to personal health, follow the instructions. |
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices, such as the motherboards, PCI cards, hard drives, and memory cards require special handling.
Wear an antistatic wrist strap and use an antistatic mat when handling components such as hard drive assemblies, circuit boards, or PCI cards. When servicing or removing server components, attach an antistatic strap to your wrist and then to a metal area on the chassis. Following this practice equalizes the electrical potentials between you and the server.
| Note - An antistatic wrist strap is no longer included in the accessory kit for the Sun Fire V215 and V245 servers. However, antistatic wrist straps are still included with optional components. |
Place ESD-sensitive components such as motherboards, memory, and other PCBs on an antistatic mat.
Before replacing parts that are not hot-swappable or hot-pluggable inside the Sun Fire V215 and V245 servers, perform the following procedures:
| Note - These procedures do not apply to the hot-swappable and hot-pluggable devices (fans, power supplies, and hard drives) described in Chapter 2. |
The procedures that you perform after removing, installing, or repairing the servers are described in Section 3.4, Procedures for Finishing Up.
The Sun Fire V215 and V245 servers can be serviced with the following tools:
| Note - Additional information about powering on the server is located in the Sun Fire V215 and V245 Servers Administration Guide (819-3036). |
You can use ALOM to perform a graceful shutdown of the server, to ensure that all of your data is saved, and to ensure that the server is ready for restart.
1. Login as superuser or equivalent.
Depending on the type of problem, you might want to view server status, log files, or run diagnostics before you shut down the server. Refer to the Sun Fire V215 and V245 Server Administration Guide (819-3036) for log file information.
Refer to your Solaris system administration documentation for additional information.
3. Save any open files and quit all running programs.
Refer to your application documentation for specific information on these processes.
Refer to the Solaris system administration documentation for additional information.
5. Switch from the system console to the ALOM sc> prompt by typing the #. (Hash Period) key sequence.
6. At the ALOM sc> prompt, issue the poweroff -fy command.
| Note - You can also use the Power button on the front of the server to initiate a graceful server shutdown (See Section 3.2.3, Powering Off the Server - Graceful Shutdown). This button is recessed to prevent accidental server power-off. Use the tip of a pen to operate this button. |
Refer to the Sun Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM) Administration Guide for more information about the ALOM poweroff command.
Press and release the Power button.
If necessary, use a pen or pencil to press the Power button.
|
|
Caution - All applications and files will be closed abruptly without saving changes. File system corruption might occur. |
Press and hold the Power button for 4 seconds.
If the server is installed in a rack with extendable slide rails, use this procedure to extend the server to the maintenance position.
1. (Optional) Issue the following command from the ALOM sc> prompt to locate the system that requires maintenance (FIGURE 3-1).
Once you have located the server, press the Locator indicator/Locator button to turn it off.
FIGURE 3-1 Locator Indicator/Locator Button
2. Verify that no cables will be damaged or interfere when the server is extended.
Although the cable management arm (CMA) that is supplied with the server is hinged to accommodate extending the server, you should ensure that all cables and cords are capable of extending.
3. From the front of the server, release the two slide release latches (FIGURE 3-2).
Squeeze the green slide release latches to release the slide rails.
FIGURE 3-2 Slide Release Latches
4. While squeezing the slide release latches, slowly pull the server forward until the slide rails latch.
|
|
Caution - If necessary, use two people to dismount and carry the chassis. |
1. Disconnect all the cables and power cords from the server.
2. Extend the server to the maintenance position.
See Section 3.2.5, Extending the Server to the Maintenance Position - Rackmounted Servers Only.
3. Press the metal lever that is located on the inner side of the rail to disconnect the cable management arm (CMA) from the rail assembly (FIGURE 3-3).
The CMA is still attached to the cabinet, but the server chassis is now disconnected from the CMA.
FIGURE 3-3 Metal Lever and Cable Management Arm
|
|
Caution - If necessary, use two people to dismount and carry the chassis. |
4. From the front of the server, pull the release tabs forward and pull the server forward until it is free of the rack rails (FIGURE 3-4).
A release tab is located on each rail.
FIGURE 3-4 Release Tabs and Slide Assembly
5. Set the server on a sturdy work surface.
1. Prepare an antistatic surface to set parts on during the removal, installation, or replacement process.
Place ESD-sensitive components such as the printed circuit boards on an antistatic mat. The following items can be used as an antistatic mat:
2. Attach an antistatic wrist strap.
When servicing or removing server components, attach an antistatic strap to your wrist and then to a metal area on the chassis.
|
|
Caution - The system supplies standby power to the circuit boards even when the server is powered off. |
Disconnect the power cords from the power supplies.
| Note - Some field-replaceable units (FRUs) require removal of the rear cover. |
1. Press and hold the rear cover release button (FIGURE 3-5).
2. Slide the rear cover toward the rear of the server.
Slide the rear cover to the rear about a 0.5 inch (12.7 mm).
| Note - If the rear cover is removed before the server is powered down, the Sun Fire V215 server will go into Standby mode. |
FIGURE 3-5 Removing the Rear Cover
1. Open front cover door (FIGURE 3-6).
Lift the latch and open the front cover door.
FIGURE 3-6 Front Cover, Front Cover Door, and Latch - Sun Fire V245
