REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

PROBLEM OVERVIEW: PCIe or PCIe/XAUI Riser fault

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.

* Take ESD Precautions
* Components inside the chassis might be hot. Use caution when servicing components inside the chassis.

WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED:

A) Remove a PCIe or PCIe/XAUI Riser

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. Remove the PCIe2 cross beam & loosen the two green captive screws on SPARC system or remove the PCI Mezzanine on Netra.

6. Loosen the screw that secures the riser to the motherboard.

7. Lift the riser up to disengage the connector.

B) Install a PCIe or PCIe/XAUI Riser

1. Repeat steps A.1 to A.4.

2. Align the riser board with the riser connector and press down to engage the connector.

3. Tighten the riser screw.

4. On a SPARC system, slide the crossbeam into position between the power supply bay and the side of the chassis & tighten the two captive screws to secure the crossbeam. On a Netra system, install the PCI Mezzanine board.

5. Install the top cover

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:
Boot system and monitor boot sequence for errors. Test functionality of system:
1. Run the Solaris "fmadm faulty" and SP/ILOM "show faulty" command (if only ALOM is supported run "showfaults -v" command) to verify that the fault has been cleared.
2. Perform one of the following tasks based on your verification results:
   * If the previous steps did not clear the fault, refer to doc 1004229.1 for information about the tools and methods you can use to diagnose and clear
     component faults.
   * If the previous steps indicate that no faults have been detected, the component has been replaced successfully. No further action is required
3. Restart software applications per applicable administration guides to resume system operation.
