How to Remove and Replace a Sun Fire V440 Server Memory DIMM

Solution

PROBLEM OVERVIEW:
Memory failure

TASK COMPLEXITY: 1

TIME ESTIMATE: 20 minutes

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution.
The customer should conduct an orderly software system shutdown.

Important Note:

Memory DIMMs must be replaced in pairs, and the pair must be the same size and from the same manufacturer. At least 1 pair must be present and functioning for the system to boot.

A replacement part, if not the exact same part number, may require a different Firmware revision.   Firmware version can be checked with `prtconf -V`.  The firmware requirements for each fru can be found in the Oracle System Handbook for the System Type.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

Follow standard ESD procedures to avoid Electrostatic Discharge

Replacing a memory module

1. Identify the memory module to be removed

2. Push down on the ejector levers on each side of the memory module, simultaneously, until the memory module ejects from its socket.

3. Grasp the top corners of the memory module and pull it up and out of its socket.

4. Place the memory module on an antistatic mat.

5. Rotate out the new memory module ejector levers for that slot.

6. Holding the bottom edge of the module parallel to its socket, carefully align the module so that each of its contacts is centered on a socket pin.

7. Push firmly and evenly on both ends of the memory module until its bottom edge is firmly seated in the socket.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:
Restart software applications per applicable administration guides to resume system operation.
