CHAPTER 2 Operations of SV8500 Server
EXB - Replacement Procedure for CPU Dual Configuration
[Start]
Replacement procedure explained here assumes the following scenario as an example:
• EXB card (#1) must be replaced
• EXB card (#1) is operating as ACT
Therefore, in the following explanation, replace #1 with #0 as needed when performing this procedure on the
actual system.
Note: When this system is CPU-dual configuration, system shutdown is not necessary for EXB replacement.
STEP 1 Make sure the EXB card to be replaced is placed in STBY mode. ACT/STBY can be identified
by “ACT” lamp on the EXB card.
• “ACT” lamp is steady ON (green): this EXB card is in ACT mode.
• “ACT” lamp flashes (green): this EXB card is in STBY mode.
STEP 2 If the EXB to be replaced is in ACT mode, switch over CPU ACT/STBY.
Note
• Use CMOD command from PCPro to switch over CPU ACT/STBY.
Note: When CPU is provided in dual configuration, ACT/STBY of EXB card and CPU always switches over in
combination.
Note: MODE switch - 4 is Make Busy Request (MBR) key.
STEP 3 Disconnect the bus cable from the EXB card that is placed in STBY mode.
• 1-IMG: D37 SC50 CA-A (PIR connector)
• 4-IMG: D37 SC50 CA-B (TSWR connector)
STEP 4 Loosen the screws on the EXB card.
STEP 5 Remove the cable support bracket.
STEP 6 Pull the EXB card slowly toward you.
