How to Remove and Replace a Sun Fire X6275 Motherboard Assembly

Solution

DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED:(IS A SITE ENGINEER AVAILABLE?)
X6275 Trained

TASK COMPLEXITY: 3

TIME ESTIMATE: 120 minutes

FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

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

Take ESD Precautions

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

1. Prepare the server module for service.

* Power off both server module compute nodes.
* Remove the server module from the Sun Blade chassis. Place it on a flat surface.
* Attach an antistatic wrist strap.
* Remove the server module top cover.

2. Remove reusable components from the server module motherboard:

* DIMMs
* Flash Modules
* USB Drives
* Processor and heat sink

3. Install the same components on the new server module motherboard assembly.

4. Return the server module to operation.

* Install the server module top cover on the new motherboard.
* Insert the server module into the Sun Blade chassis.
* Power on the server module.

5. Update the BIOS and firmware.

* Refer to the corresponding ILOM supplement.

NOTE: Always use the original serial number when replacing any blade. Do not program the serial number from the handle of the replacement.

SB replacement can lead to to a serial number of '00000000' which will break ASR if the SBs are not reprogrammed after replacement. In order to reprogram the serial number you will first need access into 'Service Mode' and this requires a long password which is obtained from our TSC backline. This 'Escalation' password is needed to reprogram the serial number of the system board.

An Escalation password (similar to service password) is valid for 48 hours, and is provided by our TSC backline. The following information is needed in order for the TSC backline to generate your temporary password granting access to Service Mode in order to reprogram the serial number.
You will initially need to provide the following information:
..ILOM Version? (see "version" output)
..Serial Number? (-> show /SYS [ or /CH ] product_serial_number )
..When you will be onsite? (How soon do you need this escalation password?)

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

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

Verify functionality, no service LEDs or messages
