Remove the FBA

Removing the FBA provides access to other components, such as the power supply, for service.

1. Follow safety and ESD precautions.

   See Safety and ESD Precautions.

2. Remove the server from the system, and place the server on an antistatic surface.

   See Servicing an Oracle Server X5-2M.

   See Servicing an Oracle Server X6-2M.

3. Release both stops on the side rails to allow the FBA to slide back.
4. Slide the rails with attached FBA away from the server.
5. Loosen the captive FBA cover screws on both the right and left sides.
   
6. Slide the cover back and off the server, then set the cover aside.
   
7. Loosen the two captive screws at the bottom right and left of the FBA (panel 1).

   These screws fasten the FBA to the slide rails.

   
   
8. Pull the FBA away from the server (panel 2) until the FBA aligns with the slide rail slot holes.
9. Gently pull one of the slide rails away from the FBA, just far enough for it to disengage.

   Note -  Align the holes in the slide rail with the studs on the FBA.

   ---

10. Disengage the FBA from the other slide rail.

    ---

    Note -  Before removing the cables, label them or or note which cables connect where on the server. The FBA cables are not labeled at the factory.

    ---

11. Disconnect all of the cables from the server, including the power cords.
    
12. Determine the applicable action:
    • If you are replacing the entire FBA, disconnect all cables and power cords from the FBA, then properly dispose of the faulty FBA.
    • If you are replacing a cable or power cord, disconnect and properly dispose of the faulty cable or power cord.
