FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR INSTRUCTIONS

PROBLEM OVERVIEW:  Replace configuration PROM

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 FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE:
Follow standard ESD precautions.

Replacing the SCC Module

Note - The SCC module is also known as the IDPROM chip.
Caution - This procedure must be performed by a certified Sun Oracle Service Technician only.
Caution - The SCC module contains system host ID, MAC addresses, and configuration variable settings for ILOM. If you are replacing a motherboard, you must move the SCC module from the old motherboard to the new one.

Remove the SCC Module

1. Back up OpenBoot PROM variables with one of the following procedures:
■ For ILOM 3.0 Web Interface: Back up per Chapter 10, “Backing Up and Restoring ILOM Configuration,” from the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Web Interface Procedure Guide (820-0052) available at: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19860-01/index.html. Use a passphrase to backup the OpenBoot PROM variables.
■ For ILOM 3.0 CLI: Back up per Chapter 10, “Backing Up and Restoring ILOM Configuration,” from the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 CLI Procedure Guide (821-1611) available at: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19860-01/index.html. Use a passphrase to backup the OpenBoot PROM variables.
■ For ILOM 2.0: The ILOM Back up/Restore feature is absent. Record output from the OpenBoot PROM printenv command or the Oracle Solaris eeprom command for use after motherboard replacement.

2. Prepare the server for removing the SCC module. See:
■ “Power Off the Server”
■ “Disconnect Cables From the Server”
■ “Remove the Server From the Rack”
■ “Perform Antistatic Measures”
■ “Remove the Top Cover”
■ “Remove the PCI Mezzanine Assembly” (Note: In T5140/T5240: Remove the PCIe/XAUI riser 2)

3. Locate the SCC module.
4. Carefully pull the SCC module straight up from its connector.

Install the SCC Module
1. Align the SCC module with its connector on the motherboard.
Note - The SCC module and its connector are keyed.
2. Press the SCC module down until it seats.
3. Perform the tasks to bring the server back online. See:
■ Install the Memory Mezzanine Assembly and Install the PCI Mezzanine Assembly. (Note: In T5140/T5240: Install the PCIe/XAUI riser 2)

4. Restore OpenBoot PROM variables with one of the following procedures:
■ For ILOM 3.0 Web Interface: Restore OpenBoot PROM variables per Chapter 10, “Backing Up and Restoring ILOM Configuration,” from the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Web Interface Procedure Guide (820-
0052) available at: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19860-01/index.html. Use the same passphrase used during the back up to restore the OpenBoot PROM variables.
■ For ILOM 3.0 CLI: Restore OpenBoot PROM variables per Chapter 10, “Backing Up and Restoring ILOM Configuration,” from the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 CLI Procedure Guide (821-1611) available at: http:
//docs.oracle.com/cd/E19860-01/index.html. Use the same passphrase used during the back up to restore the OpenBoot PROM variables.
■ For ILOM 2.0: Use the data collected during Step 1 of “Remove the Motherboard Assembly” on page 114 to restore the OpenBoot PROM variables with the OpenBoot PROM setenv command.
5. Return the server to operation.
