Oracle X8-2L Service Manual

Servicing the Internal HBA Card (FRU) and
HBA Super Capacitor (CRU)
The following section describes how to service and install the Oracle Storage 12 Gb SAS
PCIe RAID HBA, Internal card and HBA super capacitor. The internal HBA card is a
field-replaceable unit (FRU). The super capacitor and super capacitor cable are customer-
replaceable units (CRUs). For more information about FRUs and CRUs, see “About System
Components” on page 19.
For more information about the internal HBA card, refer to the Oracle Storage 12 Gb SAS PCIe
RAID HBA Internal: 16 Port and 2 GB Memory Installation Guide For HBA Model 7116970 at
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E87591_01/index.html.
Note - If your server is configured with Oracle Storage 12 Gb SAS PCIe HBA, Internal
(non-RAID) cards in PCIe slots 10 and 11, use the procedures in “Servicing PCIe Cards
(CRU)” on page 133 to remove and install the HBA cards.
Caution - The internal HBA card should be removed and replaced only by authorized Oracle
Service personnel.
Caution - Ensure that all power is removed from the server before removing or installing the
internal HBA card and super capacitor. You must disconnect all power cables from the system
before performing these procedures.
Caution - These procedures require that you handle components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. This sensitivity can cause the component to fail. To avoid damage,
ensure that you follow electrostatic discharge safety measures and antistatic practices. See
“Electrostatic Discharge Safety” on page 52.
