Replacing Processor Memory or a PMF CRU
Processor memory is field-replaceable only in Nonstop S7000 and NonStop S70000
servers, depending on your service area. Check with your service provider on the
procedure for your area. If memory units cannot be replaced, the entire PMF CRU
must be replaced.
If the Service State attribute of a PMF CRU is not OK (see Monitoring the State of PMF
CRUs on page 11-3) or if a hardware error freeze occurs, the PMF CRU might need to
be replaced. Contact your service provider. For information, refer to the NTL Support
and Service Library.
Submitting Information to Your Service Provider
To help with the analysis of a processor dump, submit a separate tape for each
processor dump, a backup tape of other system configuration and operations files, and
some additional information.
