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

WHAT ACTION DOES ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

1. Halt the Solaris operating environment in each domain and power off the system.

2. Remove the power cord.

3. Attach a wrist strap or foot strap to the ESD jack on the system. Place a grounded ESD mat close to the system.

4. At the back of the system, remove the two bottom fan trays and all boards

5. Remove the front door.

Both cables are on the right. You will need to use force to disconnect the cables.

8. Remove the lower and upper power supply supports as follows:

a. Remove the two screws securing the lower power support to the system enclosure.

b. Remove the two screws securing the upper power supply support to the system enclosure.

c. With both hands, firmly pull the upper power supply support away from the

centerplane and rotate the front of the upper power supply support downward, and then remove it.

9. Remove the plastic cable guide located on the bottom of the power supply bay, next to the right wall.

10. Remove the ID board from the centerplane.

11. Using a long-shaft Phillips screwdriver, remove the 30 screws securing the centerplane to the system enclosure.

12. Remove the insulator and the centerplane together.

It may be necessary to rotate the centerplane to clear cables along the right-hand wall.

Now is possible to install the new Centerplane

13. Align the centerplane insulator on the connectors on the centerplane.

14. Align the insulator and the centerplane with the three guide pins that are on the interior flange.

There is one guide pin at the upper edge and two guide pins at the lower edge.

15. Replace the 30 screws securing the insulator and centerplane to the system enclosure.

16. Replace the plastic cable guide.

17. Replace the upper and lower power supply support.

Note: Push the power supply supports in as far as they will go, so that they

contact the centerplane. If you do not push them in far enough, they will not make

contact with the centerplane.

a. Replace the two screws securing the upper power supply support to the system enclosure.

b. Replace the lower power supply support by replace the two screws securing the support to the system enclosure.

18. Connect the cables to the centerplane.

19. Replace the power supplies.

20. Replace the front door.

a. Position the door so that it is only slightly less than 90 degrees open.

b. At the bottom of the door, insert the hole into the post.

c. At the top of the door, push down on the spring latch located on the upperinside cover of the door.
