How to Identify Cards and Slots

Note -

Internal access to the Sun Fire 880 system is restricted to qualified service personnel only. Installation procedures for internal components are covered in the Sun Fire 880 Server Service Manual, which is included on the Sun Fire 880 Server Online Documentation CD.

Caution - Caution -

Hazardous energy levels are present inside the system when the system remains connected to a power source, regardless of the keyswitch position. Also, hazardous energy levels are present in the system's batteries even when all AC power cords are disconnected. Follow the safety procedures in your system Owner's Guide or Service Manual.

Caution - Caution -

Avoid keeping doors open for extended periods of time while the system is operating. All doors must be closed to prevent automatic thermal shutdown.

Identifying a Card Inside the System

  1. Check the system front panel LEDs.

    If a card is faulty, a directional LED on the front panel display turns on and points to the side of the system where the card is located. If a card is ready for you to remove after a successful DR operation, the OK-to-Remove LED turns on and a directional LED indicates the location of the card. For additional details on the system front panel LEDs, see the Sun Fire 880 Server Owner's Guide.

  2. Open the appropriate side access door and check the interior LEDs.

    Inside the system, a Fault LED turns on to indicate which slot contains the faulty card. After a successful DR remove operation, an OK-to-Remove LED turns on to indicate which slot contains the card to be removed. For more information, see "About Slot LEDs".

Identifying a Card or Slot From a System Console

  1. Log in to the system as superuser.

  2. Type the cfgadm command to display detailed status information for the system's PCI slots. 


    # cfgadm

    The command output identifies each slot and any cards occupying those slots. For more information, see "How to Display Card Status".

  3. Determine the attachment point ID for the card to be removed, or the slot where you will add the new card.

    To identify a faulty card, look in the Condition column of the cfgadm output for cards marked failed, failing, or unusable. The Ap_Id column indicates the slot's attachment point ID.
