Solution

 DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED:
Oracle Server X5-2 Server Training.

Oracle Server X6-2 Server Training.


TIME ESTIMATE: 45 minutes

TASK COMPLEXITY: 3

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

1. Prepare the server for service.
    a. Power off the server and disconnect the power cords from the power supplies.
    b. Extend the server to the maintenance position.
    c. Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist, and then to a metal area on the chassis.
    d. Open the server fan door to gain access to the disk backplanes.
    e. Remove fan module FM0 (the left most fan viewing the server from the front).

2. Remove the PCIe riser from slots 3 and 4.

3.Remove the internal host bus adapter card from the riser.
    a. Hold the riser in one hand and use your other hand to carefully remove the card from slot 4 of the riser.
    b. Disconnect the rear bracket attached to the PCIe card from the rear of the PCIe riser.
4.Disconnect the SAS cables and the super capacitor cable from the internal HBA card and place the card on an antistatic mat.
5. Lift the super capacitor up to release the reclosable fasteners that secure it to the server's chassis
6.Disconnect the super capacitor cable from the super capacitor and place thesuper capacitor on an antistatic mat
7. Carefully slide the SAS cables and super capacitor cable through the chassis mid-wall and remove the cables from the server.

Install the Internal HBA Card in PCIe Slot 4

1. Unpack the replacement host bus adapter (HBA) card, the super capacitor, the
    SAS cables, and the super capacitor cable, and retrieve the PCIe riser for slot 3.
2. Carefully guide the SAS cables and super capacitor cable that connect to the
     disk backplane and the super cable through the chassis mid-wall toward the front of the server.
3. Install the super capacitor into the server.
    a. Attach the reclosable fasteners supplied with the replacement super capacitor to its underside.
    b. Connect the super capacitor cable to the super capacitor
    c. Press the super capacitor into the server's chassis so that it is secured to
        the existing reclosable fastener

Install the Internal HBA Card in PCIe Slot 4

4. Connect the SAS cables and the super capacitor cable to the internal HBA card
5. Insert the rear bracket on the internal HBA card into the rear connector on the PCIe riser
6. Insert the internal HBA card connector into the bottom connector on the riser for PCIe slot 3 and 4 .
7. Install the PCIe riser.
8. Return the server to operation

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

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

7.  Boot up system and verify full functionality

8.  If an OVS install, have SysAdmin take the server out of maintenance mode by following document:

Making an OVS Node Unavailable for vServer Placement in Exalogic Virtual Environments using EMOC (Doc ID 1551724.1)
