REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

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

DAMAGE ALERT: Perform a visual inspection of the replacement part to make sure that there are no damaged components, connectors, bent pins, damaged packages during shipping, etc. If the part is damaged, don't install it into the system, order a new part. Handle with caution and package carefully the return part to avoid any damages during shipping.

The customer should conduct an orderly software and system shutdown.
System power off is required.

WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED:

1. Ensure system is shut down

2. Follow instructions in chapter 4 (Sun Fire T1000 Server Service Manual) to prepare the system for service.

The chassis cover might be very difficult to remove. If you press too hard on the cover lock button, the front edge of the cover might warp and bind. Also, elastic gasket material on the sides of the chassis might prevent the cover from sliding freely.

To work around this, lightly hold down the cover lock button and push the cover slightly toward the front of the chassis (this assists the unlocking action), then slide the cover approximately one half inch (12 mm) toward the rear of the chassis. You can now lift the cover off the chassis.

3. Using a small flathead screwdriver, carefully pry the battery from the motherboard.

4. Unpack the replacement battery.

5. Press the new battery into the motherboard with the + facing upward.

6. Follow instructions in Chapter 6 (Sun Fire T1000 Server Service Manual) to finish up hardware servicing.

7. Use ALOM commands to verify and set the date and time if required.
