FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR INSTRUCTIONS:

PROBLEM OVERVIEW: An Oracle Server X5-2L, X6-2L Coin Cell Battery needs replacement 

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:

The battery maintains system time when the server is powered off and a time server is unavailable. If the server fails to maintain the proper time when the server is powered off and not connected to a network, replace the battery.

Remove the Battery:

1. Power off the server and disconnect the power cords from the server power supplies.
2. Extend the server into the maintenance position.
3. Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist, and then to a metal area on the chassis.
4. Remove the server top cover.
5. Swivel the air baffle into the upright position to allow access to the battery.
6. To dislodge the battery from its retainer, gently push the top edge of the battery away from the retainer.
7. Lift the battery up and out of its retainer.

Install the Battery:

1. Press the new battery into the battery retainer with the positive side (+) facing the server chassis side wall.
2. Lower the air baffle to the installed position.
3. Install the server top cover.
4. Return the server to the normal rack position.
5. Reconnect the power cords to the server power supplies, and power on the server.
6. Power on the server.
7. Verify that the Power/OK status indicator is steady on.
8. If the service processor is configured to synchronize with a network time server using the Network Time Protocol (NTP), the Oracle ILOM clock will be reset as soon as the server is powered on and connected to the network; otherwise, proceed to the next step.
9. If the service processor is not configured to use NTP, do one of the following:

1. Reset the Oracle ILOM clock using the Oracle ILOM CLI or the web interface.
   1. Update the time and date via CLI:
      1. Once the ILOM is booted all the way login.
      2. Cd to the /SP/clock directory.
      3. Using the set command set the time and date:
         Example:

         -> show

         /SP/clock
         Targets:

         Properties:
         datetime = Sat Oct 1 03:02:43 2016
         timezone = GMT (GMT)
         uptime = 122 days, 08:52:41
         usentpserver = disabled

         Commands:
         cd
         set
         show

         -> set datetime=093011272016
         Set 'datetime' to '093011272016' [Fri Sep 30 11:27:00 2016]

         ->

   2. Update the time and date via web interface:
      1. Click on ILOM Administration on the left panel.
      2. Click on Date and Time on the left panel.
      3. Then set the date and time on the Clock tab screen.
      4. When finished hit the save button.

    

   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
     

   Note:
   If this server is part of an Exadata, ZDLRA or SuperCluster, please follow restart instructions in step 7 of DOC ID: 1188080.1
