assembly. Refer to the Sun Fire Midrange Systems Dynamic Reconfiguration User Guide
for complete procedures.
9.3.2.1 Removing an I/O Assembly
1. Prepare the system for removal of the I/O assembly.
Refer to the Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Administration Manual for
■
complete procedures for powering off the assembly.
If the assembly is being used by the Solaris operating environment, identify the
■
assembly to be removed and dynamically reconfigure the assembly out of the
domain. Refer to the Sun Fire Midrange Systems Dynamic Reconfiguration User Guide
for complete procedures before removing the I/O assembly.
Note – In order to safely remove the I/O assembly from the system, the green
Activated LED on the board must be off (not lit) and the amber OK to remove LED
must be on (lit).
2. Wait until the LEDs indicate that the assembly is out of the domain.
3. Make sure you have a filler panel available.
4. Attach a wrist strap or foot strap. Connect the ESD strap to the system.
5. Place a grounded ESD mat close to the system.
Caution – The system is sensitive to static electricity.
6. Completely loosen the four captive Phillips screws
