How to Remove the System
Configuration Card
Before You Begin
This section explains how to remove a system configuration card (SCC). The SCC
stores system configuration variables and MAC addresses. For more information, see
"About the System Configuration Card" in the Sun Fire V440 Server Administration
Guide.
You can replace a functioning SCC and install it into another system thereby
preserving the system's host ID information. Thus, migrating a SCC from one
system to another can smooth transitions to new or upgraded systems, or quickly
bring up a backup system if a primary system becomes unavailable, without
disrupting the system's identity on the network.
If you are replacing a defective SCC, you must contact a Sun service representative
to obtain a new card with the existing server's host ID and MAC address.
Caution – Do not handle the system configuration card unless you need to transfer
it to another system. If you need to handle the card for this reason, avoid contact
with the gold terminals on the underside of the card.
Complete these tasks:
"How to Power Off the System" on page 23
"How to Avoid Electrostatic Discharge" on page 44
What to Do
Caution – Attempting to remove the system configuration card while the system is
running causes an immediate system shutdown in 60 seconds.
1. Locate the SCC reader, which is at the left of the Power button.
2. Pull the security post out of its position from in front of the SCC.
