Parts Removal and Installation |
This chapter contains procedures for replacing the internal hardware components for the Sun Fire V125 server. The procedures in this section are for qualified service engineers only.
|
Caution - Read Section 1.8, System Configuration Card Reader, and wear a properly grounded antistatic strap, before you carry out any of the procedures in this document. |
The chapter contains the following sections:
Replaceable components in the front of the server are:
The remaining replaceable components are in the back of the server.
Before you carry out the procedures covered in this document, the server must be powered down. To do this you must remove the power cable. Follow the instructions in Section 1.2.2, Powering Off the Server.
The On/Standby button does not power off the server, but it toggles the server between On and Standby mode.
|
Caution - Never move the system when the system power is on. Movement can cause catastrophic drive failure. Always power off the system before moving it. |
1. Connect the server to an AC power source.
Once connected, the server automatically goes into Standby power mode.
2. Turn on power to any peripherals and external storage devices you have connected to the server.
Read the documentation supplied with the device for specific instructions.
4. Press the On/Standby switch.
1. Notify users that the system will be powered down.
2. Back up system files and data.
3. Press and release the On/Standby switch behind the bezel.
The system begins an orderly software system shutdown.
4. Wait for the front panel green indicator to go out.
|
Caution - As long as the power cord is connected, potentially hazardous energy is present inside the server. |
5. Disconnect the power cable.
This is the only way to remove power from the server. Electrical power is present when the server is in Standby mode.
Whenever you work with the server's internal components, follow this procedure to prevent damage caused by static electricity.
See Section 1.2, Controlling Server Power.
2. Open the back section of the cover.
See Section 1.4, Opening the Server.
3. Attach one end of the antistatic strap to the grounding stud located on the partition inside the server, and the other end to your wrist.
See Section 1.2, Controlling Server Power.
2. Perform either Step a or Steps b and c.
a. Attach one end of the antistatic strap to a grounding point on the rack and the other to your wrist.
b. Remove the server from the rack.
c. Place the server on an antistatic mat or other suitable antistatic surface.
Suitable antistatic surfaces include:
The cover of the server is split into two sections, front and back.
|
Caution - Disconnect the power cord before carrying out this procedure. As long as the power cord is connected, potentially hazardous energy is present inside the server. |
|
Caution - After servicing, install and fasten the cover before plugging in the power cords or turning power on. |
2. Undo the screws that fasten the front section of the cover to the chassis (FIGURE 1-2).
3. Slide the front section of the cover towards the front of the server.
Use the indentations in the cover to provide grip if necessary.
4. Lift off the front section of the cover (FIGURE 1-3).
1. Align the clips on the bottom of the cover with the corresponding slots in the server chassis.
2. Press the cover down into the slots.
3. Slide the cover towards the back of the server.
4. Replace the screws that fasten the cover to the server.
1. Locate the latches at the back of the server and release them (FIGURE 1-4).
2. Undo the captive Phillips screw in the catch on top of the server (FIGURE 1-4).
3. Pull the lever to release the catch and lift the cover up, pulling from the center and one corner of the cover.
The cover hinges forward to lay flush against the front section of the server.
1. Rotate the cover back to its closed position.
Ensure that the catch clips the cover into its closed position.
2. Tighten the captive screw in the catch on the cover.
3. Secure the cover using the clips on the outside of the server.

4. Unclip the U-channel that runs across the server and remove it (FIGURE 1-5).
You must remove this bar to reach the cables that connect the front of the server to the rear.
The internal components of the server are located in FIGURE 1-6.
The front bezel assembly includes the bezel, the front server status indicators, and hinges. The front bezel is replaced as a single unit.
See Section 1.2, Controlling Server Power.
2. Ensure that the server is properly grounded.
See the instructions in Section 1.3, Avoiding Electrostatic Discharge.
3. Hold the bezel firmly at both ends and rotate it down to its open position.
Grip the bezel at the points marked by the green triangles at each end to open it. Do not attempt to open the bezel using a single gripping point or by holding the middle of the bezel, as damage may occur.
4. Disconnect the cable connecting the bezel assembly to the server.
5. Unscrew the bezel hinges and remove them from the server.
1. Locate the new bezel and hinges onto the server, and screw the bezel hinges to the server.
For information on removing a hard drive while the operating server is running, see the Sun Fire V125 Server Administration Guide.
