How to Replace a PDB assembly on a Sun Netra X3-2, ZS3-2 (Netra X4270M3)

Solution

CAP PROBLEM OVERVIEW: Replace a PDB assembly

DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED:
Sun Netra Server X3-2 Server Training.

Note: The PDB is a interconnect between the power supplies and the motherboard. The PDB is located forward of the power supplies, under the PDB duct.

TIME ESTIMATE: 60 minutes

TASK COMPLEXITY: 3-FRU

FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

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

If the system is still up and functioning, customer should perform an orderly and graceful shutdown of applications and OS.  Then power off the server and remove the AC power cords from the system.

A data backup is not a prerequisite but is a wise precaution.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

1. Prepare the server for service.

1. Power off the server and disconnect the power cords from the power supplies.
2. Remove both power supply units
3. Extend the server to the maintenance position in the rack.
4. Attach an anti-static wrist strap.
5. Remove the Front Filter
6. Remove the Top Cover.
7. Remove all Fan Modules.
8. Remove the Fan Tray.
9. Raise the Drive Cage to the Service Position
   1. Disconnect the cables attached to the drive backplane, and the cable attached to the USB board.
   2. Fully loosen the four screws securing the drive cage to the chassis.
10. Remove all of the PCI Risers
11. Remove the Air Duct
12. Remove the PDB Duct

2. Disconnect all remaining cables from the motherboard and move them out of the way.

3. Remove the four bus bar screws.

4. Fully loosen the captive screw at the front of the motherboard.

5. Grasp the two motherboard handles and slide the motherboard rearward off of the alignment pins.

6. Lift the motherboard 0.5 in. (13 mm) to clear the bottom alignment pins and slowly move the motherboard out the rear of the chassis.

7. Set the Motherboard assembley aside.

8. Disconnect the cable from the PDB.

9. Remove the two screws securing the PDB to the chassis.

10. Lift the PDB up and forward off of the alignment pins.

11. Lift the PDB and attached bus bars out of the chassis.

12. Set the PDB aside.

Install New PDB

1. Position the PDB to where it installs into the chassis.

     The bus bars are forward and down.

2. Place the bus bars into the channels, and move the PDB rearward and down onto the alignment pins.

3. Install and tighten the two screws.

4. Reconnect the cable to the PDB.

5. Position the motherboard for installation into the chassis. The heatsinks are toward the front of the chassis, and the ports are at the rear.

6. Lift the motherboard by the handles to a height of about 0.5 in. (13 mm) and slowly move the motherboard forward into the chassis from the rear.

7. When there is about 1.5 in. (36 mm) to go, lower the motherboard onto the bottom alignment pins.

8. Slowly slide the motherboard forward until it drops, engaging the bottom alignment pins.

9. Continue to slide the motherboard forward until it seats. The rear of the motherboard must be flush with the rear of the chassis. Additionally, the four holes in the motherboard must align with the four holes in the bus bars.

10. Tighten the captive screw.

11. Install and tighten the four bus bar screws.

12. Reconnect the cables you previously disconnected.

13. Install the remaining parts in the following order:

1. Install the PDB Duct.
2. Install the Air Duct
3. Install all PCI Risers
4. Secure the Drive Cage.
   1. Tighten four screws securing the drive cage to the chassis.
   2. Reattach cables to the drive backplane, and the cable attached to the USB board.
5. Install the Fan Tray.
6. Install all Fan Modules.
7. Install the front Air Filter.
8. Replace the top cover
9. Remove any anti-static measures that were used.
10. Return the server to it's normal operating position within the rack.
11. Re-install the AC power cords and any data cables that were removed.
12. Power on server. Verify that the Power/OK indicator led lights steady on.

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

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

Boot up system and verify full functionality
