REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

PROBLEM OVERVIEW: battery failure

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :
The customer should conduct an orderly software system shutdown. Then power down system and disconnect the power cords. A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution.

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.

WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED:

A) Replace the System Battery

The system battery is in a spring-loaded carrier that is located between riser 0 and the power supply housing.

1. Take ESD Precautions

2. Extend the server out of the rack.

3. If you can access the rear area of the server without removing the server from the rack, go to Step 4, otherwise remove the server from the rack:
* Unplug all cables from the server.

4. Remove the top cover.

4a. (Netra only) Remove the PCI Mezzanine board.

5. Remove riser 0 leftmost riser as viewed from the rear of the server.

6. Push the top edge of the battery against the spring and lift it out of the carrier.

7. Insert the new battery into the battery carrier with the negative side (-) facing out.

8. Replace riser 0.

8a. (Netra only) Install the PCI Mezzanine board.

9. Replace the top cover.

10. Return the server to its operational position in the rack.

11. Restore power to the server.

12. Use the ILOM clock command to set the day and time.

The following example sets the date to June 17, 2010, the time to 16:19:56, and the timezone to GMT.

-> set /SP/clock datetime=061716192010
-> show /SP/clock
 
/SP/clock
    Targets:
 
    Properties:
        datetime = Wed JUN 17 16:19:56 2010
        timezone = GMT (GMT)
        usentpserver = disabled
    Commands:
        cd
        set
        show

B) Verify the System Battery

1. Run show /SYS/MB/BAT to check the status of the system battery. In the output, the /SYS/MB/BAT status should be “OK”, as in the following example.

-> show /SYS/MB/BAT
/SYS/MB/BAT
 
Targets:
 
Properties:
type = Battery
ipmi_name = MB/BAT
fault_state = OK
clear_fault_action = (none)
 
Commands:
cd
set
show
 
->
