16.4 Precautions for Motherboard Unit Replacement
Note the following points when replacing the motherboard unit.
  1. Do not replace the motherboard unit and the PSU backplane at the same time. If you replace the motherboard unit and the PSU backplane at the same time, the system may fail to operate correctly. Replace the motherboard unit or the PSU backplane, and then execute the showhardconf or showstatus command to verify that the replaced Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) is fully operational. Then, replace the other FRU.
  2. Do not mount and use any of the following microSD cards in the motherboard unit in another chassis:
    - the one currently mounted in the SPARC M10-1, or

    - one that was once used as a maintenance part

    This is because these microSD cards store device identification information.
  3. The CPU and XSCF on the motherboard unit cannot be replaced individually. Replace the motherboard unit.
  4. When replacing the motherboard unit, the memory should be removed from the old unit and remounted on the new unit. Always mount the memory modules in the same locations as they were mounted on the old motherboard unit.
  5. Before replacing the motherboard unit, execute the dumpconfig command to save the system setting information. When the motherboard unit is replaced, the CPU Activation setting information and CPU Activation key may be deleted. To restore the CPU Activation setting information and CPU Activation key 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 replacement of the motherboard unit has been completed, 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 M10/SPARC M10 Systems Product Notes for the latest XCP version.
  7. Check the XCP version.
    If you replace the motherboard unit and switch the microSD card, the CMU firmware versions displayed for the current and reserve XCPs by the version command do not match when you check the XCP firmware version after executing the testsb command. This does not affect system operation. If you start the system when the current and reserve XCPs have been switched, the CMU firmware stored on the microSD card is automatically applied.
  8. The type of motherboard unit varies depending on the number of CPU clocks.
  9. If you replace the microSD card along with the motherboard unit, dispose of the microSD card mounted on the old motherboard unit by appropriate means such as cutting it with cutting pliers. The old microSD card stores the user information, IP address, and other information set in the XSCF firmware.
