Chassis Fault Indicators
Verify that the replacement of the chassis is necessary. If error messages and LED operation indicates faulty components,
ensure that the components are firmly seated. Contact your support provider with any questions about whether the
chassis should be replaced.
Any of the following events might indicate the need to replace the chassis:
•
Visible mechanical damage to the chassis, including damage to sheet metal or card guides, that prevents the correct
installation of a blade.
•
Bent or damaged connectors on the backplane (the surface inside the chassis to which the blades connect).
•
One or more components (such as a power supply, blower assembly, port blade, control processor blade, core switch
blade, or WWN card) do not function properly even after the component is replaced.
•
Intermittent FAULTY codes for blades. Reseat the blade and visually inspect the ejector stiffening rails for possible
wear or damage. It is important that the blade ejector handles not slip out during blade installation. If this happens, it is
usually due to excessive wear or damage to the ejector stiffening rails.
•
The
psShow
or
fanShow
commands continue to show a faulty component even though the component was replaced.
•
The
slotShow
command continues to show a faulty control processor, core switch, or port blade even though the
blade was replaced.
Time and Items Required
The chassis replacement takes approximately 3 to 4 hours.
The following items are required for the chassis replacement:
•
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap.
•
ESD grounding pads for protecting all blades and WWN cards.
•
Serial cable and workstation computer with a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal for Windows
systems or TIP for Solaris systems), required only if serial console session used.
•
A pallet jack or hydraulic or assisted lift that raises a minimum of 140 cm (55 in.) and carries a minimum of 113 kg (250
lb).
•
A surface on which to place the old chassis, such as a second lift or the pallet originally provided with the old chassis.
•
No. 1 and No. 2 Phillips screwdrivers. Use a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver for removing and installing blades and FRUs in
the chassis.
