DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED:(IS A SITE ENGINEER AVAILABLE?)
The engineer should be M8000/M9000 trained

TASK COMPLEXITY: 2

TIME ESTIMATE: 150 minutes

FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Then power down the system.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

Cold replacement with power down is required

1. Customer should perform an orderly shutdown of the domains.
2. Change the mode switch setting on the operator panel from Locked to Service.
3. From a console that is connected to XSCF, log in to XSCF, and execute the poweroff -a command.
4. Confirm that the power-off processing is completed by confirming that the POWER LED (green) on the operator panel is off.
5. Switch off all main line switches for the AC section (ACS) in the power supply system.

Note: On a M9000 with an expansion cabinet the base cabinet should be switched off first then the expansion cabinet.
6. Remove the XSCFU to be replaced. Place the removed XSCFU on an antistatic conductive mat.
7. Insert the replacement XSCFU

Note: FE should connect to XSCF serial port in order to gather POST and XCP startup output. In case of unexpected FRU behavior data should be uploaded into the SR 

8. Switch on all main line switches for the AC section (ACS) in the power supply system.

Note: On a M9000 with an expansion cabinet the expansion cabinet should be switched on first then the base cabinet.
9. Confirm that the XSCF STANDBY LED (green) on the operator panel remains lit. If it is blinking, wait until it remains lit.
10. Update the XSCF firmware.
11. Set the XSCF clock with setdate -s MMDDhhmmCCYY.ss
12. Start (turn on power) all domains together

Caution !! When the maintenance work is completed, be sure to confirm the mode switch setting and return the switch to Locked.

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:

Check full functionality has been retained

Confirm hardware by running the following commands:
XSCF> showhardconf -M
XSCF> showstatus

PARTS NOTE:

None
