FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR INSTRUCTIONS

PROBLEM OVERVIEW: CPU failure

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 FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE:

Removing the CPU module

Perform the following procedures to remove an existing UltraSPARC III or an UltraSPARC III Cu CPU module.

1. Power off the workstation.
2. Remove the access panel
3. If necessary, place the workstation on its side on a work surface, open side face up.

Caution – Use proper ESD grounding techniques when handling components. Wear an antistatic wrist strap and use an antistatic mat. Store ESD-sensitive components in antistatic bags before placing them on any surface.

4. Attach the antistatic wrist strap.

5. Remove torque tool A or torque tool B from its holder.

Note – Sun manufacturing installs torque tool A or torque tool B in Sun Blade 1000 and Sun Blade 2000 workstations. The torque tools are located in different locations
in the workstation.

6. If necessary, remove the filler panel. Squeeze the two tabs on the filler panel to release it from the cover for the CPU
shroud.

7. Complete one of the following steps:
Your selection depends on whether you are replacing an existing UltraSPARC III CPU module or installing an additional UltraSPARC III CPU module into an unused
CPU processor slot.
If you are replacing an existing module and have torque tool A, perform Step 8.
If you are replacing an existing module and have torque tool B, perform Step 9.

8. To remove an existing CPU module by using torque tool A:
a. Alternately rotate the left and right captive screws one turn counterclockwise until the screws are free of the threaded inserts.
Caution – Do not touch the board for the CPU module or its components. Touch only the captive screws and plastic top cover of the module to avoid damaging
module components by electrostatic discharge.
b. Use both hands to lift the CPU module out of the shroud.
c. Place the CPU module on an antistatic mat with the heat sink on the top facing up.

9. To remove an existing CPU module by using torque tool B:
a. Remove the cover for the shroud.
Squeeze the two tabs to release the shroud from the motherboard.

b. Alternately rotate the left and right captive screws one turn counterclockwise until the screws are free of the threaded inserts.

Caution – As you remove the CPU module from the shroud, handle it only by its captive screws. Do not touch the connectors on the bottom edge of the module or the electrical components on the module. The connectors and the components for the module are easily bent or damaged by improper handling and by electrostatic discharge .

c. Use both hands to lift the out of the shroud.
d. Place the CPU module on an antistatic mat with the heat sink on the top facing up.

10. Detach the antistatic wrist strap, replace the access panel, plug in the power cord, and power on the workstation.

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

WHAT ACTION DOES THE FE/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN the SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:

Restart software applications per applicable administration guides to resume system operation.
