SPARC T5-8 Server Service Manual

Remove the Main Module

The main module is a cold-service component that can be replaced only after you have powered off the server.

1. (Optional) If you are replacing a faulty main module, you must back up ILOM configuration settings.
   1. Configure the SER MGT port to enable the configuration parameters to be uploaded.

      Refer to the ILOM documentation for network configuration instructions.

   2. Back up the ILOM configuration parameters.

      See Oracle ILOM documentation.

2. Shut down the server.

   See Removing Power From the Server.

3. Locate the main module in the server.

   See Front Panel Components (Service).

4. Squeeze the green latches together on the two extraction levers, and pull the extraction levers out to disengage the main module from the server.
   
5. Pull the main module halfway out of the server.
   
6. Press the levers back together, toward the center of the main module.

   This will keep the levers from getting damaged when you pull the main module out.

7. Remove the main module completely from the server.
8. Press down on the green button at the top of the cover to disengage the cover from the main module, and push the cover toward the rear of the module as you lift the cover up and away from the chassis.
   
9. Determine your next step.
   1. If you are replacing a main module due to a faulty motherboard, remove all of these internal components, and transfer them to the new motherboard.
