Care and Handling of Server Modules with FMods

Extra attention must be paid when handling server modules with FMods (Flash Modules). The following rules must be followed:

  1. After AC power cycling the server module (i.e., removing the blade from the chassis or powering off the shelf), you must wait for 20 seconds before reinserting the blade or powering on the shelf. Check to see that the green LED on the motherboard (next to FMod) is no longer lit. It will take approximately 20 seconds.


    Caution

    Caution - Damage to the flash module can occur if the FMod is installed (while the green LED is lit) and the flash modules might not be recognized by the host nodes.


  2. When a server module is inserted in the chassis for the first time, wait two minutes before pulling it out or powering the shelf down. This is the time required to charge the supercaps. The same action applies when the shelf or blade is powered down for some time. When the server module is inserted into the chassis, you must wait for at least two minutes before attempting to pull it out again.

  3. If an FMod becomes corrupted, use the Oracle supplied utility to perform a low level format. Once the format is done, you will need to power off the blade and run the fmod_power_cycle command from the ILOM restricted shell.


    Note - This step is for Oracle Service personnel only.
