Chapter 13 Motherboard Unit Replacement 13-21
9. Update the XCP version.
For the firmware updating procedures, see the SPARC Enterprise
M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide .
10. Replace the existing MBU with the new MBU.
For details on how to replace the MBU, see Section 13.1, “Motherboard Unit
Replacement” on page 13-1. To replace the CPUM at the same time, see
Section 12.1, “CPU Module Replacement” on page 12-1.
Caution – Before replacing the MBU, remove the power cable from the power
supply unit. After the replacement, reconnect the power cable to the power supply
unit.
11. Log in to the XSCF again, using an account with the platadm privilege.
12. Perform and initial diagnosis of the newly installed MBU.
The following example shows a test after adding PSB#01 to a SPARC Enterprise
M5000 server:
13. Confirm that the replaced component has been recognized by the server, and the
error indicator asterisk (*) is not displayed.
14. Use the showlogs error -v command and the showstatus(8) command, to
confirm that no errors occurred.
15. Change the mode switch setting on the operator panel from Service to Locked,
to put it back.
16. If you replace the CPUM at the same time, set up and confirm the CPU
operational mode of the domain.
For details, see the chapter, "Setting Up XSCF." in the SPARC Enterprise
M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide .
