Remove a Card Carrier
156 SPARC T5-8 Server Service Manual • November 2015
PCIe expansion cards with their carriers are hot-service components that can be replaced at any
time if the card is not in use.
Caution - To remove a PCIe card that is assigned to an I/O domain, first remove the device
from the I/O domain. Then, add the device to the root domain before you physically remove the
device from the system. These steps enable you to avoid a configuration that is unsupported by
the Direct I/O or SR-IOV feature. For more information about making hardware changes to an
I/O domain, refer to the Oracle VM for SPARC documentation.
For the location of the PCIe card carriers, see “Rear Panel Components (Service)” on page 15 .
Caution -
This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. This discharge can cause server components to fail.
1. Take the necessary ESD precautions.
See “Prevent ESD Damage” on page 57 .
2.
Start this procedure with the primary domain at the Oracle Solaris prompt.
Note - Removing a PCIe card carrier while the primary domain is at the Open Boot prompt is
not supported.
3. Locate the PCIe card carrier at the rear of the server.
■
See “Rear Panel Components (Service)” on page 15 for the locations of the
carriers in the server.
■
See “Determine Which PCIe Card Is Faulty” on page 155 to locate a faulty
PCIe card.
4. Determine if you are removing a card carrier from a running server.
■
If you are removing a PCIe card from a server that is running (that is, if you are hot-
swapping the card), go to Step 5 .
■
If you are removing a card from a powered-down server, go to Step 7 .
5. Take the card offline.
You can use the Attention button or the CLI to hot-swap the card from the server.
■ Attention button:
a. Press the button to bring the card offline.
