PROBLEM OVERVIEW:

How to replace a Midplane in a Sun Blade 6000 and 6048 system.

Remove the Midplane

====================

Note - The midplane must be replaced only by Oracle Service personnel.

1. Power off the installed server modules and the chassis.
Refer to the documentation for the server modules and see Powering Off the System and Components.

2. Remove all the modules and filler panels that are installed in the chassis.
See Replacing Customer-Replaceable Units.

3. Remove the air duct by unfastening the snaps from underneath the power supply cage and tilting the front of the air duct downward to free it from the chassis.

4. Loosen the 13 captive screws attaching the midplane to the back of the chassis.

==============================================================
Caution-Do not touch the connectors on the midplane. You might damage or bend the connector pins
==============================================================

5. Pull the midplane away from the chassis guide pins, then down to clear the power supply cage.

6. Tilt the midplane slightly to the side, and remove it from the chassis.

Install the Midplane

====================

7. Tilt the midplane to the side slightly to fit it into the chassis.

8. When you reach the back wall of the chassis, straighten the midplane so that it is flush with the back of the chassis,

    and lift the midplane so that the guidepin holes are aligned with the chassis guidepins.

9. Push the midplane backwards slightly to engage the chassis guidepins.

10. Fasten the 13 screws to secure the midplane to the chassis.

11. Replace the air duct:

    a.Align the air duct so that the fastening snaps are facing away from the inside of the chassis.
    b.Place the back edge of the air duct in the slot on the back of the chassis.
    c.Rotate the air duct upward until the snaps fasten into place at the back of the power supply cage.

12. Replace all of the components that were removed from the chassis.

13. Power on the chassis.

    Clear the fault in the ILOM web interface or CLI.

    To clear the fault using the web interface:

    a. Login to the ILOM web interface.

    The Chassis View page appears.

    b. Navigate to System Information , Fault Management.

    c. In the Fault Management page, enable the radio button next to the faulted component, then select Clear Fault.

    To clear the fault using the CLI:

    a. Log into the ILOM CLI.

    b. Click on CMM in the left navigation panel.

    c. Type the following command:

->set component_path clear_fault_action=true

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

- WHAT ACTION DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:

Verify Modular System Functionality
After servicing the modular system, you should verify that Oracle’s Sun Blade 6000 modular system is functioning correctly.

1. Verify that the green OK LED on the FIM or CMM is in the steady on state.

When the chassis has been fully powered on, the OK LED remains illuminated.

The steady on OK LED indicates that the power supplies are energized and the 12V power is supplied to the fan array,

server modules, and the NEMs. See Chassis and CMM LEDs and Rear Fan LEDs.

2. (Optional) - Check the event logs.
