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.

Contamination Caution:

Dust particles of packaging material are number one cause of datacenter contamination. Make sure to remove all packaging material, up to the ESD safe
packaging material, while still being outside the datacenter.

DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED: Mx-32 Product Training/Experience

TASK COMPLEXITY: 2

TIME ESTIMATE: 45 minutes

FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

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

Physical Domains must be shut down. Server must be powered off.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

Remove the Front Filler Panel

It is necessary to remove the front filler panel for access to some of the internal components. This process is usually part of a more complex action plan involving removing other assemblies. It is not expected that a Front Filler Panel should 'fail' or need to be replaced unless physically damaged.

1. Halt the server and turn off all AC power:

Turn the key switch on the Front Panel of the server to the Service position.
Gracefully shutdown the server by running the ILOM command "stop /System" (requires Oracle ILOM Reset and Host Control (r) user role).
Turn off all external breakers for the server.
For maximum safety, disconnect all six power cords from their respective AC outlets.

2. Verify that it is safe to continue with the procedure:

No LEDs on the server should be on or light.
You should not hear any fans running in the server.

Caution – Danger of electrocution: Removal of this assembly exposes internal power components. All AC circuits in the server share current. All sources of AC current must be removed from the server.

2. Use a grounding strap to protect the equipment from ESD damage.
3. Use a T20 Torx screwdriver to remove four mounting screws from the front filler panel. Save the screws to reinstall the front filler panel.
4. Pull the front filler panel out of the slot. It is possible for some people to place both hands into the openeing on the front pannel, and 'twist' each hand into a fist, thereby allowing pressure to be applied that may assist in removal of the assembly.

Install the Front Filler Panel

1. Use a grounding strap to protect the equipment from ESD damage.
2. Put the front filler panel into the slot.
3. Use a T20 Torx screwdriver to install four mounting screws in the panel.
4. Turn on all AC power and start the server:

Connect all six AC cords to their respective AC outlets.
Turn on all external breakers for the server.
Turn the key switch on the Front Panel of the server to the On position.
Start the server by running the ILOM command "start /System" (requires Oracle ILOM Reset and Host Control (r) user role).

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:

Customer should ensure system is properly booted before starting applications.
