Server Module Maintenance Procedures and Information
Note - This component is a customer-replaceable unit (CRU).
Two Flash Module (FMod) slots are located on the server module motherboard. FMod power is supplied by the charge stored on the energy storage modules (ESMs). When the server is removed from the power source (the chassis), the ESMs slowly lose their charge.
A Charge Status LED on the motherboard indicates the status of the charge. When the LED is off, the ESMs are not charged. When the LED is on, the ESMs are charged. It is not safe to remove or install the FMods when the ESMs have a charge. Wait until the Charge Status LED is off.
Caution - Component damage can occur if the FMods are removed or installed when the Charge Status LED is lit. Wait for the LED to turn off before removing or installing FMods. |
Note - The Sun Blade X6275 M2 Server module is a dual-node server. If necessary, use this procedure for both nodes.
Before You Begin
See How to Remove Flash Modules.
A lit green LED next to an FMod slot indicates that the FMod slot is powered on by the energy storage module (ESM). It does not indicate a faulty FMod. The ESM must drain before you can remove the FMod. Wait until the green FMod LED is off before removing or installing FMods.
Align the FMod notch with the key in the connector. This ensures that the FMod is oriented correctly.
If the FMod does not easily seat into the connector, verify that the orientation of the FMod is correct.
Use the ILOM web interface or CLI. Refer to the corresponding ILOM documentation.
