PROBLEM OVERVIEW: An Oracle Server X7-2 Temperature Sensor 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:

1. Prepare the server for service.

1. Power off the server and disconnect the power cords from the power supplies.
2. Extend the server to the maintenance position in the rack.
3. Attach an anti-static wrist strap.
4. Remove the server top cover.

2. Remove the Temperature Sensor:

1. Disconnect the temperature sensor cable from the disk backplane.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws that secure the front indicator module (FIM) assembly to the server chassis.
3. Carefully slide the FIM assembly toward the front of the server to remove it from the chassis.
4. Remove the temperature sensor from the plastic housing by pulling the sensor from its seated location. Then remove the sensor cable by pulling it through the slit in the housing.
5. Remove the temperature sensor and cable by carefully pulling the sensor cable rearward and through the left-front chassis sidewall. Then lift the temperature sensor from the chassis.

3. Install the replacement Temperature Sensor:

1. Install the temperature sensor by carefully inserting the sensor-end of the cable through the rear opening directly under the left side of the disk backplane. Then push/pull the sensor cable through the left-front chassis sidewall.
2. Install the temperature sensor into the plastic housing by inserting the cable through the slit in the housing. Then ensure that the temperature sensor is properly seated into the housing.
3. Carefully insert the FIM assembly into the front panel of the server chassis.
4. Install and tighten the two Phillips screws to secure the FIM assembly to the server chassis.
5. Reconnect the temperature sensor cable to the disk backplane.

4. Return the Server to operation

1. Install the server top cover.
2. Remove any anti-static measures that were used.
3. Return the server to it's normal operating position within the rack.
4. Re-install the AC power cords and any data cables that were removed but not yet replaced.

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.
