CHAPTER 2 Hardware Installation and Removal This chapter describes the tasks required to install and remove the NEM when the Sun Blade 8000 Modular System is in a powered-on state. Note – If you are powering on the Sun Blade 8000 Modular System or Sun Blade 8000 P Modular System for the first time, follow the installation instructions in the Sun Blade 8000 Series Installation Guide.
Observing ESD and Handling Precautions Caution – Damage to the NEM can occur as the result of careless handling or electrostatic discharge (ESD). Always handle the NEM with care to avoid damage to electrostatic sensitive components. To minimize the possibility of ESD-related damage, Sun strongly recommends using both a workstation antistatic mat and an ESD wrist strap. You can get an ESD wrist strap from any reputable electronics store or from Sun as part number #250-1007.
▼ To Install the NEM 1. Attach an antistatic strap (refer to “Observing ESD and Handling Precautions” on page 8). 2. Refer to your system installation or service manual to determine an appropriate slot in which to install the NEM. 3. Unpack the NEM and remove it from the antistatic bag. 4. Locate a vacant NEM slot in the back of the chassis. Ensure the label on top of the NEM is facing up. 5. Align the NEM with the vacant slot.
6. Align the NEM with the chassis guidance system and slide the NEM into its slot (see FIGURE 2-2). Ensure that the NEM engages with the system chassis guidance system. Failure to align the NEM correctly can result in damage with the internal connection to the chassis midplane. FIGURE 2-2 Inserting the NEM Into the Chassis 7. Push the ejector levers toward each other and close the levers to secure the NEM in its slot.
9. Verify that the NEM is working properly. See “To Verify NEM Status” on page 16. ▼ To Connect the Optical Cables Note – The NEM does not allow normal data transmission on an optical link unless it is connected to another similar or compatible Fibre Channel (FC) product (that is, multimode to multimode). Use multimode fiber-optic cable, intended for short-wave lasers, that adheres to the specifications in TABLE 2-1.
FIGURE 2-3 Connecting the Optical Cables 2. Connect the other end of each cable to a FC device. After the optical cables are connected to the NEM, proceed to “Configuring the NEM For Hot-Plug Operation” on page 14. 3. Observe the light-emitting diodes (LEDs) status for the power-on self test (POST). Each port has a corresponding set of LEDs that provide a visual indication of the operating state. See FIGURE 2-4 to determine the location of the port LEDs.
Port 0.0 Green LED Port 0.0 Yellow LED Port 0.1 Green LED FIGURE 2-4 Port 0.1 Yellow LED Port Level LEDs TABLE 2-2 summarizes port LED indicator combinations.
Configuring the NEM For Hot-Plug Operation To insert a NEM into the chassis while the system is running, you need to: 1. Physically install the module. 2. Prepare the NEM for hot-insertion by using the CMM integrated lights-out management (ILOM) web interface or command-line-interface (CLI) and verify the NEM has returned the expected feedback. See “To Verify NEM Status” on page 16. 3. Verify in one of the ILOM interfaces that the module’s Ready to Remove status is Not Ready.
4. Verify that the selected NEM has returned the expected feedback. See “To Verify NEM Status” on page 16. Using the ILOM Command-Line Interface 1. Log in to the ILOM CLI of the active Chassis Monitoring Module. 2. For a list of components in your system, type: show /CH 3. If you installed a new NEM, go to Step 4.
You can use the ILOM web interface or ILOM CLI to verify Using the ILOM Web Interface 1. Log in to the ILOM web interface using the IP address of the active Chassis Monitoring Module. The first page of the ILOM web interface is displayed. 2. In the left navigation pane, select CMM (Chassis Monitoring Module). The ILOM Version Information page is displayed. 3. Select the System Information tab, and then the Components tab. The Component Management page is displayed. 4.
■ Green OK LED goes to Standby. 2. Activate the NEM by pressing the Attention button, and the green OK LED goes to Slow blink. ■ When all links to active blades have been made, the green OK LED goes to Solid On. ■ Ready to Remove status shows Not Ready in the ILOM interfaces.
The Locator button, when pressed momentarily, flashes a white light to assist in locating the module. You can also activate the Locator LED remotely by executing a command on the CMM. Replacing a NEM If a NEM fails or if you choose to change the I/O configuration, you will need to replace it. You can remove and replace a NEM from a powered-on system using a hot-plug operation, as well as from a powered-off system.
3. When the blue Ready-to-Remove LED is lit on the NEM, physically remove the NEM. a. Remove all cables from the NEM. b. Press the latch on both ejector levers inward at the same time. c. Swing out the ejector levers to their fully open position. d. Slide the NEM out of its slot. Support the weight of the NEM with one hand at the bottom of the NEM. ▼ To Replace the ID Chip 1. After you have removed the failed NEM from the chassis, locate the ID chip at the back of the board (see FIGURE 2-6).
4. Install the ID chip onto the new board (see FIGURE 2-7). a. Position the notched side of the ID chip to the left. b. Place the ID chip directly over the connector. c. Press down easily to seat the ID chip to the connector. FIGURE 2-7 Installing the ID Chip 5. Install the replacement NEM into the chassis and reconnect the cables.
