REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS:

PROBLEM OVERVIEW: memory DIMM failure

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.

WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED:

Remove a DIMM

1. Press the Remind button on the motherboard to identify the DIMMs that need
to be replaced.
2. Push down on the ejector tabs on each side of the DIMM until the DIMM is
released.
3. Grasp the top corners of the faulty DIMM and lift it out of its slot.
4. Place the DIMM on an antistatic mat.
5. Repeat Step 2 through Step 4 for any other DIMMs you intend to remove.

Install a DIMM

1. Unpack the replacement DIMMs and place them on an antistatic mat.
2. Ensure that the ejector tabs on the connector that will receive the DIMM are in
the open position.
3. Push the DIMM into the connector until the ejector tabs lock the DIMM in
place.
If the DIMM does not easily seat into the connector, check the DIMM’s orientation.
4. Repeat Step 2 through Step 4 until all new DIMMs are installed.
5. Install the top cover.

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.
