Remove the Motherboard

Caution -

This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to ESD which

can cause server components to fail.

When replacing the motherboard, remove the SPM and SCC PROM from the old motherboard

and install these components on the new motherboard. The SPM contains the Oracle ILOM

system configuration data, and the SCC PROM contains the system host ID and MAC address.

Transferring these components preserves the system-specific information stored on these

modules. Whenever you replace the motherboard or the SPM, you must update the firmware so

the portions of firmware in the SPM and on the motherboard are consistent.

Prepare for servicing.

See

“Preparing for Service” on page 47

Remove all PCIe cards.

See

“Remove a PCIe Card or Filler” on page 129

If installed, remove any NVMe cables that are connected to the drive backplane.

Remove the SCC PROM from the motherboard.

You will reinstall it on the new motherboard.

Remove the SPM.

You will reinstall the SPM on the new motherboard. See

“Remove the SPM” on page 136
