PROBLEM OVERVIEW:
Replacing the Netra X4200 M2 Graphics Redirect and Service Processor

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

A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution.
The customer should conduct an orderly software system shutdown.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

Step I: Remove the GRASP Board

1. Power off the server as described in Powering Off the Server.

Note – Remove AC/DC power supply unit inlet cables and attach a wrist strap to the button-snap grounding post inside the chassis just behind the mass storage assembly.

2. If the server is in a rack, slide it far enough from the rack so that you can remove the cover. If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the rack.

3.  Remove the cover.

Caution – There is a power status LED (CR1) on the GRASP board that indicates whether 3.3V standby power is reaching the GRASP board. The GRASP board is not hot-pluggable and should never be removed while this LED is lit.

4. Squeeze the plastic standoff that protrudes through the GRASP board to press the standoff’s locking tabs. If you have difficulty pressing the locking tabs with your fingers, you can use a pair of long-nosed pliers.

5. Raise the corner of the GRASP board until it is clear of the locking tab.

6. Pivot the front edge of the GRASP board upward to disengage it from the rear plastic bracket and to disengage its connector from the motherboard.

Note – Gently lift to avoid bending the GRASP board while removing or installing.

Step II: Install the GRASP Board

1. To install the GRASP board, reverse the steps you used to remove the GRASP board. Push firmly on the center of the board to avoid bowing and ensure full mating of the motherboard connector.

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:
Restart the system and have the System Administrator verify functionality of  the system.

PARTS NOTE:
