FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

PROBLEM OVERVIEW:
Disk drive backplane replacement.

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :
Full verified backups of all data and operating systems potentially affected by service activities
The system needs to be shut down and powered off with power cables disconnected.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

The hard drive backplane is housed in the hard drive cage. It provides data and control signal connectors for the hard drives. It also provides the interconnect for the front I/O board, power and locator buttons, and system/component status LEDs. Note – Each drive has its own Power/Activity, Fault, and Ready-to-Remove LEDs.

Remove the Hard Drive Backplane

1. Remove the hard drive cage.
2. Remove the No. 1 Phillips screws securing the backplane to the hard drive cage.
■ Two screws secure the backplane in the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 server.
■ Four screws secure the backplane in the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 server.
3. Slide the backplane down and off the hard drive cage retention hooks.
4. Place the hard drive backplane on an antistatic mat.

Install the Hard Drive Backplane

1. Slide the backplane under the retention hooks on the hard drive cage.
2. Install the No. 1 Phillips screws that secure the backplane to the hard drive cage.
■ Two screws secure the backplane in the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 server.
■ Four screws secure the backplane in the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 server.

3. Install the hard drive cage.

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:
Boot system and monitor boot sequence for errors. Test functionality of system:
1. Run the Solaris "fmadm faulty" and SP/ILOM "show faulty" command (if only ALOM is supported run "showfaults -v" command) to verify that the fault has been cleared.
2. Perform one of the following tasks based on your verification results:
   * If the previous steps did not clear the fault, refer to doc 1004229.1 for information about the tools and methods you can use to diagnose and clear component faults.
   * If the previous steps indicate that no faults have been detected, then the component has been replaced successfully. No further action is required
3. Restart software applications per applicable administration guides to resume system operation.
