Chapter 5 Repairing and Maintaining the 8106 Server

Replacing the CPU

Removing the old CPU transition module

Step 1

Verify all steps in the

“Preparing for the repair” section on page 5-2

have been completed.

Step 2

Locate the CPU transition module in the CPU slot in the back of the server.

Step 3

With a screwdriver, loosen the CPU transition module’s captive screws at the right and left of the panel.
See

Figure 5-10

Step 4

Press the ejector levers outward. This partially unseats the CPU transition module from the backplane
connectors. See

Figure 5-10

Step 5

Pull the CPU transition module from the chassis by pressing the ejector levers outward and pulling the
CPU transition module out. See

Figure 5-10

Installing the new CPU transition module

Step 1

Press the ejector levers outward. See

Figure 5-11

Step 2

Holding the CPU transition module by the ejector levers, partially insert the CPU transition module into
the slot, about half way.

Step 3

Verify that the CPU transition module is properly seated in the guides on the left and right sides. If not,
remove the CPU transition module and try again.

Step 4

Pushing gently and firmly on the CPU transition module’s face plate, slide the CPU transition module
into the slot until you encounter significant resistance. At this point, the ejector levers should be in
contact with the chassis rails so they grab when pushed inward.

Step 5

Use the ejector levers to seat the CPU transition module in the slot by closing the ejector levers toward
one another until they are in the locked position. See

Figure 5-11

Step 6

Secure the CPU transition module by tightening the captive screws at the right and left of the panel. See

Figure 5-11

Step 7

Verify that any empty slots have covers on them.

Warning

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement

Step 8

Attach the power cable to the back of the server.

Step 9

Power up the server. Refer to the

“Powering up the server” section on page 4-18

Verifying the server’s date and time

After replacing the CPU card or CPU transition module, verify the server’s date and time are correct.
