Complete Power Removal

Powering the server module from full power mode to standby power mode does not power off the server completely. In some situations, it might be necessary to remove power from the server module and place it in an non-powered state. To do this, you must disengage the server module from the chassis backplane by partially removing it.

Use this procedure to remove power from the server module by partially removing it from the chassis.

Before You Begin

See Remove the Server Module from the Sun Blade Chassis.

1. Place the server module in standby power mode.

   See Powering Off the Server Module.

2. To partially remove the server module, pull it out approximately 3 inches (8 cm) from the rack using the ejector levers.

   Caution - Component damage or data loss. Server modules should be removed only if the blue Ready to Remove LED is lit, or if you are certain that a firmware update is not in progress. Pulling the server module out of the chassis during a firmware update might damage the server module, which might not be repairable in the field.

   ---

   Alternatively, you can remove the server module from the chassis.

3. If you completely remove the server module from the chassis, insert a filler panel in its place within 60 seconds.

   ---

   Caution - Component damage or data loss. Do not insert a server module into the chassis until at least 20 seconds has elapsed since the server module was disengaged from the midplane connector.
