Replace an FBS Power Cord

This task can take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

Before You Begin

After obtaining a replacement power cord and verifying that the replacement cord is the correct length, perform these steps. For replacement cord information, see FBS Power Cord Replacement Information.

Obtain a No. 3 Phillips screwdriver for the procedure.

1. Follow safety and ESD precautions.

   See Safety and ESD Precautions.

2. Locate the node with the faulty FBS power cord, then power down the node.

   For powering down a node, see Power Down an Oracle Server X5-2M or Power Down an Oracle Server X6-2M.

3. Determine which adjacent node must be powered down, so that you can access the socket on the PDU.

   See FBS Power Cord Replacement Information.

4. Remove both nodes from the system.

   See Remove an Oracle Server X5-2M or Remove an Oracle Server X6-2M.

5. From where the adjacent node was removed, remove the right or left side rails from that slot:

   ---

   Note -  This step is necessary because the side rail is blocking access to where the FBS power cord connects to the PDU.

   ---

   1. If the faulty FBS power cord is on the right side of the FBS, remove the right side rail of the adjacent node slot.
   2. If the faulty FBS power cord is on the left side of the FBS, remove the left side rail of the adjacent node slot.
6. Disconnect the power cord from the PDU.

   See Servicing PDUs.

7. Remove the power cord from the FBS:

   See Replace an FBS PCB for FBS cover removal and installation instructions.

   1. To remove the power cord, push down on the white tab on the power cord at the FBS wall.
   2. Slide the white tab backward, then slide the FBS power cord connector to the right to disengage the FBS power cord.
   3. Remove the FBS power cord completely from the modular system.
8. Install the new power cord:
   1. Insert the new power cord into the FBS.
   2. Slide the FBS power cord connector to the left, to position the connector in the FBS.
   3. Slide the white tab forward, locking the connector into place.
9. Plug new power cord into the PDU.
10. Install the side rail and both nodes.
