- PROBLEM OVERVIEW
How to remove and replace a link cable for an External I/O Expansion Unit
- WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE
RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?
For Mx000 systems the link must be powered down if the domain is up and running.
Power down the link by disconnecting the server IOU slot:
# cfgadm -c disconnect ap_id
Where ap_id is the server IOU slot that contains a link card.
For T5xxx systems or cold replacement on Mx000 stop the domain that is connected to the I/O boat.
For information about stopping a domain, refer to the documentation for the server.
- WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:
1. Use an antistatic strap for this procedure.
2. Disconnect the link cable from the link card in the I/O boat.
3. Disconnect the link cable from the link card in the host.
4. Connect the replacement link cable to the link card in the I/O boat.
If you are replacing a copper link cable, there is one cable. Both ends of the cable are identical.
If you are replacing one or both cables in an optical link, note that the ends of each cable have either a TX label (Transmit) or an RX (Receive) label. It is possible to plug a connector into the wrong socket on a link card, so ensure that you plug each connector into the appropriately marked TX or RX socket on the link cards.
5. Connect the replacement link cable to the link card in the host server.
OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE
- WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO
AN OPERATIONAL STATE:
For Mx000 systems the link must be powered up again if the domain is up and running.
After repairing a link, power up the link by typing:
# cfgadm -c configure ap_id
Where ap_id is the IOU slot in the host server to which the I/O boat is connected.
For T5xxx systems or cold replacement on Mx000 start the domain that is connected to the I/O boat.
For information about starting a domain, refer to the documentation for the server.
