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.

PROBLEM OVERVIEW: SPARC T7-2 DVD Drive Replacement

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

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.

The customer should conduct an orderly software system shutdown. Then power down system and disconnect the power cords. A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution

If the system is still up and functioning, the 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.
NOTE: For ALL scenarios where an AC power down or AC power cycle is required for a T7-x server, please always use the steps in doc 1571054.1 prior to physically removing AC power cables from the server.

WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED?:

Prepare for servicing:

     a. Attach an antistatic wrist strap.

     2. Slide the DVD drive or filler panel out of the server.

CAUTION: Whenever you remove the DVD drive or filler panel, you should replace it with another DVD drive or a filler panel; otherwise the server might overheat due to improper airflow.

Installing DVD drive

     1. Unpack the DVD drive or filler panel (If it is a DVD drive, attach an antistatic wrist wrap and place the drive on an antistatic mat).
     2. Slide the DVD drive or filler panel into the front of the chassis until it seats.
     3. Return the server to operation:
