This procedure describes how to prepare the server for cold service to remove, replace, or install cold-serviceable components. A cold-service component must be serviced when the server is completely powered off and AC cords have been removed from the back panel AC power block.
For more information about component serviceability, see Component Serviceability Requirements.
This procedure is performed locally and requires physical access to the server front and back panels.
Log in as a user with root or administrator privileges. For example, open an SSH session, and at the command line type:
ssh root@ipaddress
Where ipaddress is the IP address of the server SP.
For more information, see Using Oracle ILOM in Oracle Server X7-8 Installation Guide.
The Oracle ILOM CLI prompt appears: ->
->set /System/ locator_indicator=on
At the prompt, type the following command:
->stop /System
For more information, see Control the Locate Button/LED Locally.
Set up a space where you can place components. See Electrostatic Discharge and Static Prevention Measures.
Caution - Data loss. Removing the power cords when the server is in Main power mode results in an immediate shut down of the server. Do not remove the power cord if the server is in Main power mode. Power off the server to Standby power mode first. |
