Maintaining the Server |
This chapter describes how to replace components in the Sun Fire V60x and Sun Fire V65x servers after they have been set up. It contains the following sections:
|
Note - When working on a server, you may want to turn on the blue System ID LED to identify the server that is being worked on. See LEDs for instructions on how to turn on this LED. |
All that is needed is an antistatic wrist strap (recommended).
To determine and isolate a faulty component, refer to . This chapter can help you isolate a faulty component using the following methods:
Before removing the system cover to work inside the server, observe these safety guidelines:
1. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system.
2. Turn off the system by pressing the power button on the front of the system. Then unplug the AC power cord from the system or wall outlet.
3. Label and disconnect all peripheral cables and all telecommunication lines connected to I/O connectors or ports on the back of the system.
4. Before handling components, attach a wrist strap to a chassis ground of the system (any unpainted metal surface).
Many of the equipment replacement procedures require that you remove the chassis cover. Before you remove the cover, observe the safety instructions in the section titled Safety Guidelines (Before You Remove the Cover).
To remove the cover, follow these steps:
1. While pressing the blue latch button (A) with your left thumb, push down on the top cover and slide it back using the heel of your right hand on the blue pad (see FIGURE 5-1).
2. Set the cover aside and away from the immediate work area.
The following equipment is customer replaceable:
To access the system controls and peripherals when a front bezel is installed, grasp the bezel at the finger hole on the left side and gently pull it towards you, unhinging it at the right, until it unsnaps from the chassis. Replace the bezel using the reverse process (see FIGURE 5-2 and FIGURE 5-3).
To replace the Floppy/CD-ROM module, follow these steps:
1. Before removing the cover to work inside the system, observe the safety guidelines previously stated.
2. Remove the bezel from the front of the chassis.
3. As shown in FIGURE 5-4, rotate the module's handle bar up (A) and pull on the handle bar to remove the module from the flex bay.
4. Slide a new module into the flex bay until you feel the connectors touch.
5. Push the module in (using the handle bar) about 3/16 of an inch (5mm) more to fully engage the connectors.
6. Rotate the handle bar down.
|
Note - The Comprehensive Test should be run after changing any FRU, CRU, or adding an optional component. See Run Platform Confidence Test (PCT). |
|
Caution - Before touching or replacing any component inside the server, disconnect all external cables and follow the instructions in Safety Guidelines (Before You Remove the Cover) and Removing and Replacing the Cover. Always place the server on a grounded ESD pad and wear a properly grounded antistatic wrist strap. |
The main board supports DDR-266 compliant registered[1] ECC DIMMs operating at 266 MHz.
Only tested and qualified DIMMs are supported on the main board. Note that all DIMMs are supported by design, but only fully tested DIMMs are supported.
The minimum supported DIMM size is 128 MB. Therefore, the minimum main memory configuration is 2 x 128 MB or 256 MB. The largest size DIMM supported is a 2 GB stacked registered DDR-266 ECC DIMM based on 512 megabit technology.
The memory system on the main board has the following features:
For part numbers of optional DIMMs, see TABLE 1-1 and TABLE 1-2.
|
Caution - Use of unauthorized DIMM modules may damage the server and may void the warranty. |
To replace DIMMs in a Sun Fire V60x server, follow these steps while referring to FIGURE 5-5:
1. Before removing the cover to work inside the system, observe the safety guidelines previously stated.
2. Release the DIMM from the connector slot by pressing down on the DIMM module ejector bars at both ends of the connector slot.
3. LIft the DIMM up and away from the connector slot.
4. With the ejector bars in the open position, align the replacement DIMM notch with the connector slot notch and apply even, downward pressure on the DIMM until it slides into the connector slot. The ejector bars will snap inward and lock the memory module in place.
FIGURE 5-6 shows how the DIMM pairs are to be installed. They must be installed in pairs. There are three banks of DIMMs, labeled 1, 2, and 3. Bank 1 contains DIMM locations 1A and 1B, Bank 2 contains 2A and 2B, and Bank 3 contains 3A and 3B.
DIMM socket identifiers are marked on the silkscreen next to each DIMM socket on the baseboard. Note that the sockets associated with any given bank are located next to each other.

1. Observe all safety precautions and remove the server top cover.
2. Remove the DIMM fan assembly by disconnecting the DIMM fan cable from the main fan module, then squeezing the vertical fan support bars to release the DIMM fan (see FIGURE 5-7).
3. If you are replacing DIMMs whose ejector bars are engaged by the DIMM fan vertical support bars:
a. Do not remove the vertical fan support bars. Instead, spread apart the DIMM ejector bars using the vertical support bars. This will eject installed DIMMS from the sockets.
b. Place the new DIMMs in the sockets but do not press them all the way in, because the socket latches on each side are tied together by the vertical support bars.
c. Bring the two vertical support bars together enough to engage the keyed "half-moons" on all the DIMMs.
d. Gently press each DIMM, one at a time, to engage its socket, then firmly to fully seat.
4. If you are replacing DIMMs whose ejector bars are not engaged by the DIMM fan vertical support bars:
a. Make sure the ejector bars are in the open position.
b. Align the replacement DIMM notch with the connector slot notch and apply even, downward pressure on the DIMM until it slides into the connector slot. The ejector bars will snap inward and lock the memory module in place.
5. Replace the DIMM fan assembly as explained in Installing the DIMM Fan (Sun Fire V65x Server Only).
|
Note - The Comprehensive Test should be run after changing any FRU, CRU, or adding an optional component. See Run Platform Confidence Test (PCT). |
1. Observe all safety precautions and remove the server top cover.
2. Slide the DIMM fan assembly over the vertical support bars until the assembly snaps into place (see FIGURE 5-8 and follow steps a through d below).
a. Orient the support bars so that the curved bottom aligns with the notches in the two middle DIMM ejector bars.
b. Gently push each support bar onto the two ejector bars until they are held firmly in place. Make sure the DIMMs stay securely seated in their sockets.
c. Slide the fan assembly down over the two support bars.
d. The flexible tabs at the top of the support bars lock the fan assembly in place.
3. Connect the DIMM fan cable to the 3-pin header on the server main fan pack (see FIGURE 5-9).
