Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120/5220 Server, Removing and Installing PCI and XAUI Cards

Power down the host system (using the front panel power

button) or STOP or poweroff command from the SP's root/

ILOM or SP's admin/ALOM command line interfaces,

respectiely.

Remove the system's top cover.

Implement all the usual anti-static-discharge methods...

* Prepare an antistatic surface to set parts on during

  the removal, installation, or replacement process.

* Place ESD-sensitive components such as the printed

  circuit boards on an antistatic mat. The following

  items can be used as an antistatic mat:

          o Antistatic bag used to wrap a Sun

            replacement part

          o Sun ESD mat, part number 250-1088

          o A disposable ESD mat (shipped with some

            replacement parts or optional system

            components)

*  Attach an antistatic wrist strap.

     When servicing or removing server components,

     attach an antistatic strap to your wrist and

     then to a metal area on the chassis.

Disconnect any external cables from the PCI or

XAUI card you intend to remove from the system.

Remove the PCI cross beam.

  * Loosen the two captive Phillips screws on each end

    of the removable PCI cross beam.

  * Slide the PCI cross beam back to remove it from the

    chassis.

  There are two mushroom standoffs which secure the

  removable cross beam to the back of the system.

Loosen the captive screw securing the riser to the

motherboard.

 Lift the riser up to remove it from the system.

 Remove the riser.

 Remove from the riser the PCI or XAUI card of

 interest, place the riser card on the antistatic

 mat and place the card in antistatic bag.

If you are going to put in a replacement XAUI

card or same or different type of PCI card in

the PCI or PCI/XAUI Riser, do that now.

Insert the riser in the same Motherboard slot,

reintall the PCI cross beam and attach the

external cables to the PCI or XAUI card.

If not adding or replacing a XAUI or PCI card

in the riser, then insert the riser in the

same Motherboard slot and reintall the PCI

cross beam.

Note..

 T5220 PCIe filler panels are located on the

 riser board assembly. Therfore you insert

 theT5220 type filler panel into the now nely

 emptied slot in the riser card BEFORE you

 insert the riser into the Motherboard.

 T5120: PCIe filler panels are located in the

 removable PCI cross beam. Before reinserting

 the riser into the Motherboard slot, press a

 a PCI/XAUI slot filler panel into the cross

 beam from inside the system.

Replace the system's top cover.

Plug in thge system's power cord(s).

If the system administrator would like the Host

powered-up, that can be done using the front panel

power button or via a login to the SP's   root  

or   admin  accounts  and the appropriate   START

or  poweron   ,respectively, may be used.
