This procedure is for installing a NEM into an empty slot. If you are replacing a NEM, see Replace a NEM.
Note - Mixing different NEM types is not supported. NEM pairs must be the same.
You can insert either one or two NEMs in the Sun Blade 6000 chassis. If you insert only one, install it in the lower slot (NEM0).
Ensure that:
The RJ-45 port connectors of the NEM are facing you.
The NEM ejector levers are fully opened.
The NEM ejector levers are on the top of the module.
Support the weight of the NEM with one hand at the bottom of the NEM.
Standby LED blinking indicates that the NEM is in standby mode.
The Power/OK LED blinks faster. Wait for the NEM to come online. It can take up to three minutes for the NEM to come online and become fully operational.
Note - If you push the ATTN button twice within five seconds, the green Power/OK LED remains in standby blink mode, and the request for bringing the NEM online is cancelled.
The NEM is online and the PCIe interfaces are available to the blades when the following occurs:
The NEM green Power/OK LED illuminates solid.
In the ILOM web interface System Information —> Components screen: the Prepare-to-Remove option is available in the Actions drop-down list for the NEM.
In the ILOM CLI show /CH/NEMx output, the following status shows in the Properties section: prepare_to_remove_status = NotReady.
