C H A P T E R Installation and Component Replacement This guide provides instructions for the installation or replacement of the Sun™ Enterprise™ PCI I/O board and for the replacement of parts mounted on the board. Each PCI board has two riser cards, each accommodating one PCI card ( FIGURE 1-1 The PCI card voltage rating must be matched to the voltage rating of the riser card.
Precautions Caution – The chassis AC power cord must remain connected to ensure a proper ground. Caution – The I/O+ boards, their modules, and cards have surface-mount components that can be broken by flexing the boards. To minimize board damage, observe the following precautions: Hold the board only by the edges near the middle of the board, where the board stiffener is located.
Hot-Plug Feature Caution – If the message: NOTICE: Hot Plug not supported in this system is displayed during boot, do NOT attempt hot-plug in this system or damage to the hardware will occur. The hot-plug feature is the ability to insert a new board into a powered-on system, despite being “live,”...

Riser PCI I/O Board FIGURE 1-1 1. Ensure that the board is in low-power mode and ready for removal. If the board is not in low-power mode, halt the system and turn off the power before proceeding. The board is in low-power mode if one of the following is true: The three LEDs on the board are not lit (board has no power).
4. Simultaneously pull the ends of both extraction levers outward to unseat the board connectors from the centerplane receptacles. 1.5.2 Installing a PCI I/O Board 1. If you are installing a new board, refer to your Enterprise server system reference manual for board slot section guidelines.
4. Ensure that both extraction levers are in the open position, and that the quarter- turn access slots are unlocked (arrow indicating unlocked position) as you slide the board toward the centerplane receptacles. The board will not seat fully unless the levers are in this starting position and the access slots are unlocked.

2. On the noncomponent side of the I/O board, loosen the locking standoff for the PCI card that is to be removed ( FIGURE 1-4 Note – Some PCI cards may not require the standoff for mounting. 3. Loosen and then remove the thumbscrew on the component side of the I/O board next to the external PCI card connector ( FIGURE 1-4 Riser card...

4. Grasp the card to be removed with your index fingers on either side of the card where it mates with the connector on the riser card, thumbs against the connector FIGURE 1-5 Loosen the card from the PCI bus connector and the catch mechanism by firmly pushing with your thumbs against the PCI bus connector, while grasping the card edge with the index fingers of both hands.
2. Verify that the JTAG test jumper is removed/disabled ( FIGURE 1-6 Note – PCI+ I/O boards purchased from Sun Microsystems are shipped with the JTAG test jumper disabled or removed on both of the 5.0V installed riser cards. JTAG Jumper...

3. Align the PCI card so that the connector mates with the PCI board connector. Make sure that the right rear of the card is retained by the opening in the metal catch mechanism ( ) and the front right is aligned to accept the locking FIGURE 1-7 thumbscrew ( FIGURE 1-4...
Replacing Riser Cards Each PCI I/O board accommodates two riser cards. 1. Follow the procedures in the Section 1.5.1 “Removing a PCI I/O Board” on page 1-3, to remove the applicable I/O board. 2. If a PCI card is already installed in the riser card slot designated for replacement, remove the card as indicated in Section 1.6.1 “Removing a PCI Card”...
Diagnostics Testing For PCI I/O board PCI card diagnostics testing, refer to the SunVTS 2.1 User’s Guide. Also, refer to the documentation that came with your PCI card for further diagnostic testing. 1-12 PCI I/O Board Installation and Component Replacement • February 1998...
A P P E N D I X PCI I/O Board Notes This information applies to Sun Enterprise 6x00/5x00/4x00/3x00 server systems. CD-ROM Drive Support The Sun Enterprise PCI I/O board does not support audio volume control for the 4X CD-ROM drives connected to the on-board SCSI interface. UltraSCSI Bus Support Currently only two Sun™...
To disable or enable UltraSCSI for specific controllers or drives, see the sections that follow. Note – The Sun Enterprise PCI I/O board does not support UltraSCSI devices connected to the onboard SCSI interface at this time. If there are any UltraSCSI drives connected to the onboard SCSI interface, refer to the following section to force the drive to run at FastSCSI speed.
A.2.2.2 Disabling Selected UltraSCSI Devices on a Controller It is possible to disable only some UltraSCSI devices on a controller. The general method is to add an entry similar to the following to the /kernel/drv/isp.conf file. name="isp" parent="/pci@1f,4000/pci@4" unit-address="4" target2-scsi-options=0x3f8 targetc-scsi-options=0x3f8 targete-scsi-options=0x3f8;...

1. Add this entry to the /etc/system file to disable UltraSCSI for the system: set scsi_options=0x3f8 2. Add this entry to the /kernel/drv/isp.conf file: name="isp" parent="/pci@1f,2000/pci@1" unit-address="4" scsi-options=0x7f8 target0-scsi-options=0x3f8; The line scsi-options=0x7f8 enables the controller. The line target0-scsi-options=0x3f8; disables target 0. ISP Man Page The isp man page provides help on determining the physical path name and using prtconf to verify what speed is allowed on the disks.
Page 21
To set scsi-options more specifically per device type, add the following line in the /kernel/drv/isp.conf file: device-type-scsi-options-list = "SEAGATE ST32550W", "seagate-scsi-options" ; seagate-scsi-options = 0x58; All devices which are of this specific disk type will have scsi- options set to 0x58. Scsi-options specified per target ID has the highest precedence, followed by scsi-options per device type.
