DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS
- WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED:
Field training in Sun Fire V880/V890 Server

- TIME ESTIMATE: 15 min
- TASK COMPLEXITY:    1

FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS:
- PROBLEM OVERVIEW:
CPU fan Tray failure

- WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE
RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?:
Hot part swap system up -
A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution.
The customer is not required to perform a system shutdown.

- WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:
Caution - At least one CPU fan tray, one I/O fan tray, and one motherboard fan tray must be installed and operating to ensure proper system cooling; otherwise, the system will initiate an automatic thermal shutdown. The primary CPU fan tray is in slot 1. To ensure proper cooling, each slot must contain either a CPU fan tray or a CPU fan tray filler panel. If a system configured with two CPU fan trays experiences a CPU fan tray failure and a CPU fan tray filler panel is not available, leave the failing fan tray in the system until you have a fan tray filler panel or a replacement CPU fan tray. All fan trays feature a hot-swap capability. You can remove and replace a faulty fan tray without shutting down the operating system or turning off the system power.

1. Identify the CPU fan tray that you want to remove. The primary CPU fan tray occupies CPU fan tray slot 1. The 'OK to remove' LED should be lit on the CPU fan status module
2. Loosen the two captive screws holding the CPU fan tray in the chassis.
3. Slide the fan tray out from the system.
4. If you are not installing a replacement fan immediately, install a CPU fan tray filler panel.

Note - During a hot-swap operation, after you remove a fan tray or power supply, wait for an acknowledgement message on the system console before installing a replacement part; otherwise, the environmental monitoring software will not recognize the new device and false error conditions will result. If you are not replacing the fan tray, do not wait for the message. Install the fan tray filler panel immediately.

5. Align the CPU fan tray with its slot in the chassis. The arrow label on the fan tray indicates the top side of the fan tray.
6. Slide the fan tray into the chassis until the connector on the fan tray is firmly seated in its socket.
7. Tighten the two captive screws on the fan tray.
8. Check LED status.

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE
- WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO
AN OPERATIONAL STATE:
Have customer verify replacement.
