REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

PROBLEM OVERVIEW: failed XFP, PCIe or XAUI Card

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

ESD Caution:

Circuit boards and drives contain electronic components that are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Ordinary amounts of static electricity from clothing or the work environment can destroy the components located on these boards. Do not touch the components along their connector edges.
Use a Antistatic Wrist strap. Attach one end of the strap to your wrist and the other end to the chassis, depending on what type of strap you use, with the adhesive end or the metal plug.
Use an Antistatic Mat. Place ESD-sensitive components such as motherboards, memory, and other PCBs on an antistatic mat

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.

Caution – This procedure involves handling circuit boards that are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Ensure that you follow ESD preventative practices to avoid damaging the circuit boards.

WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED:

PCIe Card Configuration Reference: Use the following table to plan your PCIe/XAUI card configuration on SPARC T4-1 server:

Remove a XFP, PCIe or XAUI Card,

1. Perform the preliminary steps required for cold service procedures.

2. Extend the server to the maintenance position.

3. Remove the top cover.

4. Attach an antistatic wrist strap.

5. Disconnect any cables connected to the card.

Note – If the riser has cards installed in both slots, disconnect all cables connected to both cards.

Tip – Label the cables to ensure proper connection to the replacement card.

6. Remove the riser that contains the card to be removed.

7. With the riser placed on an antistatic surface, disengage the card from its connector and place it on an antistatic surface.

Note - The card is held in place by a retention clip, which you must rotate up before the card can be removed.

8. If you are not replacing the XFP, PCIe or XAUI card, install a filler panel in the slot.

Caution - To ensure proper system cooling and EMI shielding, you must use the appropriate PCIe filler panel for the server.

Install a XFP, PCIe or XAUI Card,

1. Perform the preliminary steps required for cold service procedures.

2. Locate the proper PCIe/XAUI/XFP slot for the card you are replacing.

3. Remove the PCIe/XAUI/XFP riser.

4. If a PCIe filler panel is installed, remove it.

5. Install the XFP, PCIe or XAUI card into the riser.

Note - Before inserting the card, you must rotate the retention clip out of the way.

6. Rotate the retention clip downward and press it until it is securely in place after XFP, PCIe or XAUI card is installed.

7. Reinstall the XFP/PCIe/XAUI riser.

8. Connect any data cables required to the PCIe/XAUI/XFP card. Route data cables through the cable management arm.

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:

Restart the server, and check functionality.
