Upgrade Memory Configuration With Additional FB-DIMMs

Before You Begin

Before you begin this memory upgrade procedure, become familiar with the memory configuration guidelines described in FB-DIMM Configuration Guidelines for Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 Servers.


Electrical

Caution - Ensure that all power is removed from the server before installing FB-DIMMs or damage to the FB-DIMMs might occur.



Electrical

Caution - You must disconnect the power cords from the system before performing this procedure.


  1. Unpack the replacement FB-DIMMs and place them on an antistatic mat.
  2. (SPARC Enterprise T5140 server) Disconnect and stow the hard drive data cable.
    1. Unplug the hard drive data cable from J6401 on the motherboard.
    2. Remove the hard drive data cable from its seat on the CMP air duct.
    3. Place the hard drive cable end out of the way of the air duct.
  3. Rotate the air duct up and toward the front of the system.
  4. Remove any filler panels from the FB-DIMM slots, if necessary.

    Store the filler panels in a safe place. You will reuse the filler panels if you remove FB-DIMMs in the future.

  5. Ensure that the ejector tabs are in the open position.
  6. Line up the FB-DIMM with the connector.

    Align the FB-DIMM notch with the key in the connector. This alignment ensures that the FB-DIMM is oriented correctly.

  7. Push the FB-DIMM into the connector until the ejector tabs lock the FB-DIMM in place.

    Figure 68 Installing FB-DIMMs


    Note - If the FB-DIMM does not easily seat into the connector, it may not have the correct orientation. If the orientation is reversed, damage to the FB-DIMM might occur.


  8. Repeat Step 5 through Step 7 until all FB-DIMMs are installed.
  9. Rotate the air duct back into its operating position.

    The air duct snaps into position above the CMP and memory modules.

  10. (SPARC Enterprise T5140 server) Reconnect the hard drive data cable.
    1. Route the hard drive data cable over the fan module and along the air duct.
    2. Plug the data cable into J6401 on the motherboard.
  11. Install the top cover.

    See Install the Top Cover.

  12. Slide the server into the rack.

    See Return the Server to the Normal Rack Position.

  13. Connect the power supplies.

    See Connect Power Cords to the Server.


    Note - As soon as the power cords are connected, standby power is applied. Depending on how the firmware is configured, the system might boot at this time.


  14. Power on the server.

    See Power On the Server Using the poweron Command or Power On the Server Using the Front Panel Power Button.

  15. Perform the following steps to verify that there are no faults:
    1. Set the virtual keyswitch to diag so that POST will run in Service mode.
      -> set /SYS/keyswitch_state=Diag
      Set ‘keyswitch_state’ to ‘Diag’
    2. Power cycle the system.
      -> stop /SYS
      Are you sure you want to stop /SYS (y/n)? y
      Stopping /SYS
      -> start /SYS
      Are you sure you want to start /SYS (y/n)? y
      Starting /SYS 

      Note - The server takes about one minute to power off. The ILOM console does not indicate when the system is actually powered off.


    3. Switch to the system console to view POST output.
      -> start /SYS/console

      Watch the POST output for possible fault messages. The following output is a sign that POST did not detect any faults:

      .
      .
      .
      0:0:0>INFO:
      0:0:0>    POST Passed all devices.
      0:0:0>POST:    Return to VBSC.
      0:0:0>Master set ACK for vbsc runpost command and spin...

      Note - Depending on the configuration of ILOM POST variables and whether POST detected faults or not, the system might boot, or the system might remain at the ok prompt. If the system is at the ok prompt, type boot.


    4. Return the virtual keyswitch to Normal mode.
      -> set /SYS keyswitch_state=Normal
      Set ‘ketswitch_state’ to ‘Normal’
