Replace an FBS Power Cord
This task can take approximately 30 minutes to complete.
Before You Begin
After obtaining a replacement power cord and verifying that the replacement cord is the correct length, perform these steps. For replacement cord information, see FBS Power Cord Replacement Information.
Note -
Replacement cords are available in short and long lengths.
Obtain a No. 3 Phillips screwdriver for the procedure.
-
Follow safety and ESD precautions.
See Safety and ESD Precautions.
-
Locate the node with the faulty FBS power cord, then power down the node.
For powering down a node, see Power Down an Oracle Server X5-2M or Power Down an Oracle Server X6-2M.
-
Determine which adjacent node must be powered down, so that you can access the socket on the PDU.
See FBS Power Cord Replacement Information.
-
Remove both nodes from the system.
See Remove an Oracle Server X5-2M or Remove an Oracle Server X6-2M.
-
From where the adjacent node was removed, remove the right or left side rails from that slot:
Note -
This step is necessary because the side rail is blocking access to where
the FBS power cord connects to the PDU.
-
If the faulty FBS power cord is on the right side of the FBS, remove
the right side rail of the adjacent node slot.
-
If the faulty FBS power cord is on the left side of the FBS, remove
the left side rail of the adjacent node slot.
-
Disconnect the power cord from the PDU.
See Servicing PDUs.
-
Remove the power cord from the FBS:
See Replace an FBS PCB for FBS cover removal and installation instructions.
-
To remove the power cord, push down on the white tab on the power cord
at the FBS wall.
-
Slide the white tab backward, then slide the FBS power cord connector
to the right to disengage the FBS power cord.
-
Remove the FBS power cord completely from the
modular system.
-
Install the new power cord:
-
Insert the new power cord into the FBS.
-
Slide the FBS power cord connector to the left, to position the
connector in the FBS.
-
Slide the white tab forward, locking the connector into place.
-
Plug new power cord into the PDU.
-
Install the side rail and both nodes.
