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.
FIGURE 2-1 NEM Ejector Levers 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. After you physically install the NEM in its slot, the Chassis Monitoring Module (CMM) will automatically detect the presence of the NEM. The OK LED goes to Standby blink (see TABLE 2-3 for LED status). 8. Press the Attention button to notify the blades (host operating systems) of the presence of the NEM. 9. Verify that the NEM is working properly.
▼ 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. TABLE 2-1 Optical Cable Specifications Fiber-Optic Cable Maximum Length Minimum Length Connector 62.5/125 µm (multimode) 300 meters at 1.0625 Gbps 150 meters at 2.
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.
FIGURE 2-4 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 17. 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 17. 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. When you were preparing a NEM for a hot-remove, if you corrected the problem without removing the NEM or you decided not to remove the NEM, complete the following steps: a.
c. If all blades that you expect to be connected show a Connected link status, go to Step 4. Otherwise, if a blade that you expect to be connected has a link status of Not connected, perform Step a - Step b again until its link status is Connected. 4. To verify that the NEM Ready to Remove status has changed to Not Ready, type: show /CH/component prepare_to_remove_status The system returns: prepare_to_remove_status = Not Ready 5. Verify that the selected NEM has returned the expected feedback.
4. Verify that the selected NEM has returned the expected feedback. See “To Verify NEM Status” on page 17. Using the ILOM CLI 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. To verify that the NEM Ready to Remove status has changed to Not Ready, type: show /CH/component prepare_to_remove_status The system returns: prepare_to_remove_status = Not Ready 4. Verify that the selected NEM has returned the expected feedback.
■ Ready to Remove status shows Not Ready in the ILOM interfaces.
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. When you remove a NEM, you must replace the module within two minutes to prevent adjacent modules from overheating.
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). FIGURE 2-6 Location of ID Chip 2. Grasp the edges of the ID chip and pull straight up to remove it from the board. 3.
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.
