Installing the hyperSPARC Module on the 600MP
System Board
This section provides the information you need to remove the 600MP system board and install or replace
MBus Modules on the SPARCserver 600MP.
Caution: Individuals who remove any outer panels or open covers to access this equipment must observe
all safety precautions and ensure compliance with skill level requirements, certification, and all applicable
local and national laws.
Important: The hyperSPARC module is designed to run in a Sun SPARCstation 10, SPARCstation 20, or
SPARCserver 600MP environment, which includes a minimum of 140W power supply. Operation of
hyperSPARC in machines that deviate from this electrical environment is not guaranteed.
5.1 Handling System Boards and Assemblies
Caution: DO NOT use ESD kit P/N 560-1302 when working on 600MP system boards. Use ESD kit P/N
250-1088 (or equivalent). Instructions are included in the kit.
Caution: The system chassis power must be turned off and the AC power cord must remain plugged in to
ensure a proper ground.
Caution: The 600MP system board, modules, and cards have surface-mount components that may break
when the board is flexed.
To minimize the amount of board flexing, observe the following precautions:
Hold the system board only by the edges near the middle of the board where the board stiffener is
located. Do not hold the board only at the ends.
When removing the board from an antistatic bag, keep the board vertical until you lay it on the ESD
mat.
Do not place the board or daughter cards on a hard surface. Use a cushioned antistatic mat. The board
connectors and components have very thin pins that bend easily.
Do not use an oscilloscope probe on the components. The soldered pins are easily damaged or
shorted by the probe unit.
Transport the board in an antistatic bag.
