Note - This component is a field-replaceable unit (FRU).
The motherboard is shipped installed in a server module enclosure assembly. Do not remove the motherboard from the server module enclosure. Remove components from the old server module enclosure, and install these components into the new enclosure and motherboard assembly.
Before You Begin
If you are replacing a motherboard that is not dead, obtain the BIOS and ILOM versions and download the system software release package (combined BIOS/ILOM) that incorporates those versions. A system software release package can be downloaded from: http://support.oracle.com.
If you are replacing a dead motherboard, obtain the ILOM version and download the system software release package (combined BIOS/ILOM) that incorporates that version. A system software release package can be downloaded from: http://support.oracle.com.
Backup the FRUID information before removing the motherboard. See How to Back Up FRU Information.
For the location of components, see Illustrated Parts Breakdown.
See the following procedures:
See the following procedures.
Note - Do not power on the server.
The Service Mode command-line prompt appears.
#
# copypsnc BACKUP1 PRIMARY
This command copies the contents of the BACKUP1 container to the PRIMARY container.
# showpsnc
The contents of the PRIMARY container appears.
Note - The motherboard MAC address (MACADDR element in the Primary column) that appears in the output is the MAC address of the motherboard that was removed from the system.
You need to update the FRU MAC address, so the information is correct in the PRIMARY container.
# setpsnc —m NEW_MAC_ADDRESS
where NEW_MAC_ADDRESS is the MAC address of the new motherboard.
# copypsnc BACKUP1 PRIMARY
This will ensure that both the BIOS and ILOM firmware (which are packaged and tested together) are at a supported level.
For information about updating firmware, see Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM ) 3.0 Supplement for the Sun Blade X6275 M2 Server Module.
