4.3.1 Replacement Precautions


4.3.1 Replacement Precautions
This section describes the precautions for replacement.
When replacing a FRU, replace it with a part with the same part number or a succeeding part.
Precautions for MBU replacement
  1. Do not replace the MBU and the PSUBP at the same time. If you replace the MBU and the PSUBP at the same time, the system may fail to operate correctly. Replace the MBU or PSUBP, execute the showhardconf or showstatus command, and confirm that the replacement Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) is fully operational. Then, replace the other FRU.
  2. Do not mount and use any of the following SD cards in the MBU in another chassis:
    - the one currently mounted in the SPARC M12-1, or

    - one that was once used as a maintenance part

    This is because these SD cards store device identification information.
  3. The CPU and XSCF on the MBU cannot be replaced individually. Replace the MBU.
  4. When replacing the MBU, you need to remove memory from the old unit and reinstall it on the new unit. Always install the memory modules at the same locations as on the old motherboard unit.
  5. Before replacing the MBU, execute the dumpconfig command to save the system setting information. When the MBU is replaced, CPU Activation setting information and CPU Activation keys may be deleted. To restore the CPU Activation setting information and CPU Activation keys that have been saved with the dumpconfig command, execute the restoreconfig command. For details, see "10.10 Saving/Restoring XSCF Settings Information" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 System Operation and Administration Guide.
  6. Set the system time.
    After replacing the MBU, you need to set the system time. For details, see "Notes on Maintenance of a CPU Memory Unit, Motherboard Unit, XSCF Unit, PSU Backplane, or Crossbar Backplane Unit" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 Product Notes for the latest XCP version.
  7. If you replace the SD card along with the MBU, dispose of the SD card mounted on the old MBU by appropriate means such as cutting it with cutting pliers.
    The old SD card stores the user information, IP address, and other information set in the XSCF firmware.
Precautions for memory replacement
  1. When you replace a memory module, make sure that you install the new module in the same position as the original one.
Precautions for PSUBP replacement
  1. If you replace the MBU and the PSUBP at the same time, the system may fail to operate correctly. Replace the MBU or PSUBP, execute the showhardconf or showstatus command, and confirm that the replacement Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) is fully operational. Then, replace the other FRU.
  2. Do not mount and use any of the following PSUBP in another chassis:
    - the one currently mounted in the SPARC M12-1, or

    - one that was once used as a maintenance part

    This is because the above PSUBP stores device identification information.
  3. Set the system time.
    After replacing the PSUBP, you need to set the system time. For details, see "Notes on Maintenance of a CPU Memory Unit, Motherboard Unit, XSCF Unit, PSU Backplane, or Crossbar Backplane Unit" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 Product Notes for the latest XCP version.
Precautions for PSU replacement
Caution - Do not forcibly push the PSU into its slot. Using excessive force may damage the PSU and server.
  1. There are two PSUs in the configuration. Thus, the system can continue operating even if one of the PSUs fails. Do not, however, operate the system for an extended period while one unit has failed.
  2. When there are multiple PSUs to replace, replace them one by one. If redundancy of the PSUs cannot be secured, system-stopped (inactive)/cold maintenance must be performed.
Precautions for FANU replacement
  1. When there are multiple FANUs to replace, replace them one by one. If redundancy of the FANUs cannot be secured, system-stopped (inactive)/cold maintenance must be performed.
  2. The FANUs have a redundant configuration. Thus, the system can continue operating even if one of the FANUs fails. Do not, however, operate the system for an extended period with one failed unit. Replace any failed FANU immediately.
Precautions for PCIe card replacement
  1. Before replacing a PCIe card, stop the system and remove the PCIe riser from the MBU.
Precautions for HDDBP/OPNL replacement
Caution - When removing the HDDBP or the OPNL, be careful not to damage electronic components such as connectors.
