■ Section 3.2, “Handling Assemblies” on page 3-2 ■ Consult the Netra CT 820 Server Safety and Compliance Manual for safety information prior to performing the procedures in this chapter. Handling cPSB Cards All of the cards in a Netra CT 820 server are cPSB cards.
Assemblies have their own set of handling requirements, similar to the requirements for cPSB cards. Caution – The system is sensitive to static electricity. To prevent damage to the board, always connect an antistatic wrist strap between you and the system. Netra CT 820 Server Service Manual • July 2004...
C H A P T E R Troubleshooting the System This chapter gives instructions for troubleshooting the Netra CT 820 server. You will need at least the SunVTS™ 5.1PS3 software to perform these diagnostics tests, which is available from this web site: http://www.sun.com/oem/products/vts/...
4.1.5 IPMI Test The IPMI test that is run from the active (1A) DMC checks for IPMI connectivity by sending IPMI commands to all slots that are occupied, then waits for their response. The IPMI command from the active DMC is sent to the 18 node cards, both switching fabric boards and the standby (1B) DMC.
The FRUID Checksum test that is run from the active DMC card runs the test on all available FRU devices on the Netra CT 820 server except the standby DMC card. The The FRUID Checksum test that is run from the standby DMC card runs the test on only the standby DMC card.
4.1.10.4 Switching Fabric Board FRU Devices There are two switching fabric board FRU devices and both have IPMI type FRU devices. Each switching fabric board FRU device has three segments—the Header area, the Board Info Area, and the Product Info Area. This test checks all three of these segments.
The dmcdiag utility runs at the Chorus level on either the active or the standby DMC. All dmcdiag commands through the DMC command line interface. Refer to the Netra CT 820 Server System Administrator’s Guide for more information on accessing the DMC command line interface.
To display a list of options for the dmcdiag utility for the standby (1B) DMC, enter ■ the following command: netract (Standby) cli> dmcdiag -u The following output will appear: dmcdiag options: [enet=E|D][,epattype=Seq+Rand][,epkts=NUMERIC|1,5][,target=[IP Addr]] [,etest=Internal+External+Ping+Phy][,flash=E|D][,aport=E|D] [,anum=0+1+2+3][,a0on=On|Off|Toggle][,a1on=On|Off|Toggle] [,a2on=On|Off|Toggle][,a3on=On|Off|Toggle][,health=E|D][,ipmi=E|D] [,rtc=E|D][,fruidchksum=E|D] describes each option available for the dmcdiag utility on the active and, TABLE 4-1 in most cases, the standby DMC.

ESD ground jacks when removing and replacing hot-swappable cards. This chapter gives removal and replacement instructions for the following hot- swappable cards in a Netra CT 820 server: Section 5.1, “Removing and Installing Distributed Management Cards” on ■...
If you are hot-swapping a distributed management card, you cannot hot-swap any ■ other component in the Netra CT 820 server while the card is removed from the system. Once you have installed the distributed management card back into the system and it is up and running, you can then hot-swap any other component in the server.
5.1.2 Removing a Distributed Management Card The Netra CT 820 server is available only as a rear-access server, so two distributed management cards are installed in slots 1A and 1B in the front of the server and a single rear transition card is installed in slot 1 at the rear of the server.
This can take several seconds depending on the amount of data that must be synchronized. 3. Fully open the ejector handle, rotating it outward until the board disengages from the midplane ( FIGURE 5-1 Netra CT 820 Server Service Manual • July 2004...
4. Disconnect any cables connected to the ports on the distributed management card. Use only the Console port on the distributed management card; all other cabling should be to the rear transition card at the rear of the server. See FIGURE 5-2 location of the Console port on the DMC.
Netra CT 820 Server System Administration Guide (817-2647). The Netra CT 820 server is available only as a rear-access server. Every server is shipped with two switching fabric boards installed in slots 2 and 21 in the front of the server, and two rear transition cards for the switching fabric boards installed in slots 2 and 21 at the rear of the server.
5.2.1 Removing a Switching Fabric Board Set Following are the instructions for removing a switching fabric board and, if necessary, the accompanying rear transition card. 5.2.1.1 Removing a Switching Fabric Board 1. Disengage the ejector to notify software that the board is about to be removed and wait for the hot-swap LED to light.

Slots 3 through 20 in the Netra CT 820 server support PICMG 2.16-compliant node boards. The Netra CT 820 server is available only as a rear access server, so every node board installed in the front of the server must also have an accompanying rear transition card installed in the same slot number at the rear of the server.

The number of power supplies needed in any given system depends on the load in that system. Every Netra CT 820 server is shipped out with eight power supplies; this is the suggested number of power supplies to ensure complete power supply redundancy in your system.
3. Push down the spring-loaded latch on the ejector and rotate the ejector away from the power supply’s faceplate. This levers the power supply away from the backplane ( FIGURE 6-2 Netra CT 820 Server Service Manual • July 2004...
Injector/Ejector Operation (Power Supplies) FIGURE 6-2 4. Pull the power supply away from its backplane connection and slide it out of the enclosure. 5. Install a replacement power supply to maintain the enclosure’s shielding and cooling performance. Go to Section 6.1.2, “Installing a Power Supply” on page 6-3.
Each fan tray is secured by a captive screw and plugs into a blind mating receptacle in the enclosure ( FIGURE 6-3 For more information about system cooling, refer to the Netra CT 820 Server Product Overview. Caution – Cooling capability is reduced when fan trays are absent from operating systems.
