Diagnostic Tools Overview
The service processor provides a range of system management and diagnostic tools
that enable you to monitor server operations and troubleshoot server problems. The
following is a high-level summary of the various diagnostic tools that are available
on the server:
■

LEDs – Status indicators are provided on the server’s front and rear panels as well
as on some FRUs.

■

ILOM – The Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) firmware runs on the service
processor and is the central software resource for identifying and managing
problems in the server.

■

Power-on self-test (POST) – POST performs diagnostics on system components
whenever the system is turned on or a system reset is issued.

■

Solaris OS Predictive Self-Healing (PSH) – PSH continuously monitors the
health of the processor and memory, collecting data that can be used to predict
component failures before they occur. PSH works with ILOM to take a component
offline if data indicate there is a high risk it will fail.

■

Solaris OS log files and command interface – The Solaris OS reports operational
and error information to its standard log files. It also provides various commands
for investigating system status.

■

SunVTS – This is an application that exercises the system, provides hardware
validation, and discloses possible faulty components with recommendations for
repair.

The LEDs, ILOM, PSH, and many of the log files and console messages are
integrated. For example, when the Solaris software detects a fault, it displays the
fault, logs it, and passes information to ILOM where it is logged. Depending on the
fault, one or more LEDs might also be illuminated.

Service Processor Interfaces
There are three methods of interacting with the service processor:
■

ILOM shell (default)

■

ILOM browser interface (BI)

■

ALOM CMT compatibility shell

The ILOM shell provides access to ILOM’s features and functions through a
command-line interface (CLI). The shell prompt looks like this:
->

The ILOM browser interface supports the same set of features and functions as the
shell, but through windows on a browser interface.
The ALOM CMT compatibility shell emulates the ALOM CMT interface used on
earlier generations of CMT servers. The ALOM CMT compatibility shell prompt
looks like this:
sc>

Note – Unless indicated otherwise, all examples of interaction with the service
processor are depicted with ILOM shell commands.

SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers Service Manual • July 2009

Multiple service processor accounts can be active concurrently. A user can issue
ILOM shell commands while logged in under one account and, at the same time,
issue ALOM CMT shell commands while operating in another account.

faulty” on page 29
If the fault listed by the show faulty command
displays a temperature or voltage fault, then the fault is
an environmental fault. Environmental faults can be
caused by faulty FRUs (power supply or fan), or by
environmental conditions such as when computer room
ambient temperature is too high, or the server airflow is
blocked. When the environmental condition is corrected,
the fault will automatically clear.
If the fault indicates that a fan or power supply is bad,
you can perform a hot-swap of the FRU. You can also
use the fault LEDs on the server to identify the faulty
FRU (fans and power supplies).

Determine if the
fault was detected

and other events related to the server or to ILOM.
The service processor runs independently of the server, using the server’s standby
power. Therefore, ILOM firmware and software continue to function when the server
OS goes offline or when the server is powered off.
Faults detected by ILOM, POST, and the Solaris Predictive Self-Healing (PSH)
technology are forwarded to ILOM for fault handling.
FIGURE:

Fault Reporting Through the ILOM Fault Manager

In the event of a system fault, ILOM ensures that the Service Required LED is turned
on, FRUID PROMs are updated, the fault is logged, and alerts are displayed. Faulty
FRUs are identified in fault messages using the FRU name.
The service processor can detect when a fault is no longer present. When this
happens, it clears the fault state in the FRU PROM and extinguishes the Service
Required LED.
A fault condition can be removed in two ways:
■

Unaided recovery – Faults caused by environmental conditions can clear
automatically if the condition responsible for the fault improves over time.

■

Repaired fault – When a fault is repaired by human intervention, such as a FRU
replacement, the service processor will usually detect the repair automatically and
extinguish the Service Required LED.

Many environmental faults can automatically recover. For example, a temporary
condition may cause the computer room temperature to rise above the maximum
threshold, producing an over temperature fault in the server. If the computer room
temperature then returns to the normal range and the server’s internal temperature
also drops back to an acceptable level, the service processor will detect the new
fault-free condition. It will extinguish the Service Required LED and clear the fault
state from the FRU PROM.
Detecting and Managing Faults

Note – No ILOM command is needed to manually repair an environmental fault.
The service processor can automatically detect when a FRU is removed. In many
cases, it does this even if the FRU is removed while the service processor is not
running.

Note – If the service processor does not automatically clear a fault state after the
fault is corrected, you must perform these tasks manually. The procedure for clearing
faults manually is described in “Clear FRU Faults Manually” on page 31.

Note – ILOM does not automatically detect hard drive replacement.
The Solaris Predictive Self-Healing technology does not monitor hard drives for
faults. As a result, the service processor does not recognize hard drive faults and will
not light the fault LEDs on either the chassis or the hard drive itself. Use the Solaris
message files to view hard drive faults.
For general information about ILOM, see the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager
(ILOM) 3.0 Concepts Guide.
For detailed information about ILOM features that are specific to this server, see the
Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Supplement for Sun SPARC Enterprise
T5120 and T5220 Servers.

Methods for Connecting to the Service Processor
Before you can run ILOM commands, you must connect to the service processor. You
can do this using either of the following methods:
■

Connect an ASCII terminal directly to the serial management port.

■

Use the ssh command to connect to service processor through an Ethernet
connection on the network management port.

Note – Refer to the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Supplement for Sun
SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers for instructions on configuring and
connecting to ILOM.

■

To clear a fault diagnosed by the predictive self-healing feature without replacing
the faulty FRU.

■

To clear a fault that the service processor was unable to clear following a FRU
replacement.

Note – This procedure clears the fault from the service processor but not from the
host. If the fault persists in the host, it must be manually cleared.

POST Overview
Power-on self-test (POST) is a group of PROM-based tests that run when the server is
powered on or when it is reset. POST checks the basic integrity of the critical
hardware components in the server (CMP, memory, and I/O subsystem).
If POST detects a faulty component, the component is disabled automatically. If the
system is able to run without the disabled component, it will boot when POST
completes its tests. For example, if POST detects a faulty processor core, the core will
be disabled and, once POST completes its test sequence, the system will boot and run
using the remaining cores.
You can control various aspects of how POST performs its operations. For example,
you can specify the events that cause POST to run, the level of testing POST
performs, and the amount of diagnostic information POST displays. You use the
ILOM set command to control the state of the applicable ILOM properties. These
properties are listed and described in “ILOM Properties that Affect POST Behavior”
on page 35.

▼ Run POST in Maximum Mode
POST can be helpful when used as a first-stage diagnostic tool. When a fault’s
symptoms are unclear, you can run POST in maximum mode to generate extensive
status information on all the key system components.
1. From the ILOM prompt, set the virtual keyswitch to diag so that POST will run
in service mode:
-> set /SYS/keyswitch_state=Diag
Set ‘keyswitch_state’ to ‘Diag’

2. Reset the system so that POST runs.
There are several ways to initiate a reset. The following example shows a reset
using a power cycle command sequence. For other methods, refer to the SPARC
Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers Administration Guide.
-> stop /SYS
Are you sure you want to stop /SYS (y/n)? y
Stopping /SYS
-> start /SYS
Are you sure you want to start /SYS (y/n)? y
Starting /SYS

Note – The server takes about one minute to power off.
3. Switch to the system console to view the POST output.
The following is an partial example of POST output.
-> start /SP/console

4. If POST detects a faulty device, information about the device will be passed to
the service processor for handling. Fault information will also be displayed.

Note – If POST does not detect a fault, the system will boot. In this case, the problem
being investigated probably falls outside the scope of POST’s test coverage. POST’s
failure to detect any faults should be considered diagnostic data as well.
5. Evaluate the test information returned by POST.
See “POST Output Quick Reference” on page 42 for a summary of the syntax used
in POST fault reporting.
6. Run the ILOM show faulty command to obtain additional fault information.
If show faulty detects a fault, the service processor logs the fault, disables the
faulty component and causes the Service Required LED to light. In the following
example, FB-DIMM module /SYS/MB/CMP0/BR1/CH0/D0 is disabled.
-> show faulty

▼ Clear POST-Detected Faults
In most cases, when POST detects a faulty component, POST logs the fault and
automatically takes the failed component out of operation by placing the component
in the ASR blacklist. See “Managing Components With Automatic System Recovery
Commands” on page 50.
In most cases, the replacement of the faulty FRU is detected when the service
processor is reset or power cycled. In this case, the fault is automatically cleared from
the system. This procedure describes how to identify a POST detected fault and, if
necessary, manually clear the fault.
1. After replacing a faulty FRU, enter the show faulty command to identify any
faults detected by POST.
POST-detected faults are distinguished by the text Forced fail. No UUID
number is reported for POST-detected. The following example shows show
faulty output for a failed memory module in FB-DIMM slot
/SYS/MB/CMP0/BR1/CMP0/D0.
-> show faulty

If no fault is reported, this procedure is complete. Do not perform the subsequent
steps.

Detecting and Managing Faults

2. Clear the fault by setting the FRU’s component_state property to Enabled.
This will remove the component from the ASR blacklist.
Use the FRU name that was reported in the fault in Step 1:
-> set /SYS/MB/CMP0/BR1/CH0/D0 component_state=Enabled

The fault is cleared and should not show up when you run the show faulty
command. Additionally, the Service Required LED is no longer on.
3. Reset the server.
You must reboot the server for the change to the component_state property to
take effect.
4. At the ILOM prompt, use the show faulty command to verify that no faults
are reported.

Solaris PSH Feature Overview
The Solaris OS uses the Fault Manager daemon, fmd(1M), which starts at boot time
and runs in the background to monitor the system. If a component generates an
error, the daemon handles the error by correlating the error with data from previous
errors and other related information to diagnose the problem. Once diagnosed, the
Fault Manager daemon assigns the problem a Universal Unique Identifier (UUID)
that distinguishes the problem across any set of systems. When possible, the Fault
Manager daemon initiates steps to self-heal the failed component and take the
component offline. The daemon also logs the fault to the syslogd daemon and
provides a fault notification with a message ID (MSGID). You can use the message ID
to get additional information about the problem from the knowledge article database.
The Predictive Self-Healing technology covers the following server components:
■

Multicore processor

■

Memory

■

I/O subsystem

The PSH console message provides the following information about each detected
fault:
■

Type

■

Severity

■

Description

■

Automated response

■

Impact

■

Suggested action

If the Solaris PSH facility detects a faulty component, use the fmdump command to
identify the fault. Faulty FRUs are identified in fault messages using the FRU name.

PSH-Detected Fault Console Message
When a PSH fault is detected, a Solaris console message displayed. The following
example illustrates the type of information contained in a console message generated
when a PSH fault is detected.
SUNW-MSG-ID: SUN4V-8000-DX, TYPE: Fault, VER: 1, SEVERITY: Minor
EVENT-TIME: Wed Sep 14 10:09:46 EDT 2005

SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers Service Manual • July 2009

acceptable levels. Refer to http://sun.com/msg/SUN4V-8000-DX for more
information.
AUTO-RESPONSE: Pages of memory associated with this memory module are being
removed from service as errors are reported.
IMPACT: Total system memory capacity will be reduced as pages are retired.
REC-ACTION: Schedule a repair procedure to replace the affected memory module.
Use fmdump -v -u to identify the module.

PSH-detected faults also cause the Service Required LED to be turned on.
Use the ILOM show faulty command to view summary information about the
fault. See “Faults Displayed by show faulty” on page 29 for more information
about the show faulty command.
Faults detected by the Solaris PSH facility are also reported through service processor
alerts.
SC Alert: Most detected fault, MSGID: SUN4v-8000-DX

Note – You must be logged in to the ALOM CMT shell to see Solaris PSH fault
alerts.

▼ Identify PSH-Detected Faults With fmdump
The fmdump command displays the list of faults detected by the Solaris PSH facility
and identifies the faulty FRU for a particular EVENT_ID (UUID).

Note – The information fmdump displays is taken from the PSH event log, which
retains the fault data after the fault has been repaired. For that reason, fmdump
cannot be used to verify that a FRU replacement has cleared a fault. Instead, use the
fmadm faulty command to verify that the fault has cleared.

Detecting and Managing Faults

1. Check the event log using the fmdump command with -v for verbose output.
# fmdump -v -u fd940ac2-d21e-c94a-f258-f8a9bb69d05b

FRU: hc://:serial=101083:part=541215101/motherboard=0
Location: MB

In this example, the following information is provided about the detected fault:
■

Date and time of the fault (Jul 31 12:47:42.2008)

■

Universal Unique Identifier (UUID). The UUID is unique for every fault
(fd940ac2-d21e-c94a-f258-f8a9bb69d05b)

■

Message identifier, which can be used to obtain additional fault information
(SUN4V-8000-JA)

■

Details about the faulted FRU. This includes the FRU’s part number (part=
541215101) and serial number (serial=101083). The Location field
provides the name of the FRU. In this example, the FRU name is MB, meaning
the motherboard.

2. Use the message ID to obtain more information about this type of fault.
a. In a browser, go to the Predictive Self-Healing Knowledge Article web site:
(http://www.sun.com/msg)
b. Obtain the message ID from the console output or the ILOM show faulty
command.
c. Enter the message ID in the SUNW-MSG-ID field, and click Lookup.
In the following example, the message ID SUN4V-8000-JA provides information
for corrective action:

.
Details
The Message ID: SUN4V-8000-JA indicates diagnosis has
determined that a CPU is faulty. The Solaris fault manager
arranged an automated attempt to disable this CPU....

3. Follow the suggested actions to repair the fault.

▼ Clear PSH-Detected Faults
When the Solaris PSH facility detects faults, the faults are logged and displayed on
the console. In most cases, after the fault is repaired, the corrected state is detected by
the system, and the fault condition is repaired automatically. However, this repair
should be verified. In cases where the fault condition is not automatically cleared, the
fault must be cleared manually.
1. After replacing a faulty FRU, power on the server.
2. At the ILOM prompt, use the show faulty command to identify PSH detected
faults.
PSH-detected faults are distinguished from other kinds of faults by the presence of
a sunw-msg-id and uuid property.
-> show faulty
Target
| Property
| Value
--------------------+------------------------+-----------------------------/SP/faultmgmt/0
| fru
| /SYS/MB/CMP0/BR0/CH1/D0
/SP/faultmgmt/0

faults/0
|
|

The next step depends on whether or not a fault was reported.
■

If show faulty does not report a fault, stop. Do not go on to the next step.

■

If a fault is reported, perform Step 3 and Step 4.
Detecting and Managing Faults

3. Use the clear_fault_action property of the FRU to clear the fault from the
service processor.
-> set /SYS/MB/CMP0/BR0/CH0/D0 clear_fault_action=True
Are you sure you want to clear /SYS/MB/CMP0/BR0/CH0/D0 (y/n)? y
Set ’clear_fault_action’ to ’true

4. Clear the fault from all persistent fault records.
In some cases, even though the fault is cleared, some persistent fault information
remains and results in erroneous fault messages at boot time. To ensure that these
messages are not displayed, run the Solaris command fmadm repair, specifying
the UUID of the erroneous message.
# fmadm repair 7ee0e46b-ea64-6565-e684-e996963f7b86

problems such as a device that is about to fail.

SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers Service Manual • July 2009

The /var/adm directory contains several message files. The most recent messages
are in the /var/adm/messages file. After a period of time (usually every week), a
new messages file is automatically created. The original contents of the messages
file are rotated to a file named messages.1. Over a period of time, the messages are
further rotated to messages.2 and messages.3, and then deleted.
1. Log in as superuser.
2. Type the following command:
# more /var/adm/messages

3. If you want to view all logged messages, type the following command:

ASR Overview
The ASR feature enables the server to automatically configure failed components out
of operation until they can be replaced. In the server, the following components are
managed by the ASR feature:
■

UltraSPARC T2 Plus processor strands

■

Memory FB-DIMMs

■

I/O subsystem

Detecting and Managing Faults

The database that contains the list of disabled components is referred to as the ASR
blacklist (asr-db).
In most cases, POST automatically disables a faulty component. After the cause of
the fault is repaired (FRU replacement, loose connector reseated, and so on), you
might need to remove the component from the ASR blacklist.
The following ASR commands enable you to view and add or remove components
(asrkeys) from the ASR blacklist. You run these commands from the ILOM ->
prompt.
Command

Description

show components

Displays system components and their
current state.

set asrkey component_state=Enabled

Removes a component from the asr-db
blacklist, where asrkey is the component to
enable.

set asrkey component_state=Disabled

Adds a component to the asr-db blacklist,
where asrkey is the component to disable.

Note – The asrkeys vary from system to system, depending on how many cores
and memory are present. Use the show components command to see the asrkeys
on a given system.
After you enable or disable a component, you must reset (or power cycle) the system
for the component’s change of state to take effect.

Hard Drive Servicing Overview
Hard drives in SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers are capable of being
removed and installed while the server is running. This feature, referred to as being
hot-pluggable, depends on how the hard drives are configured.

Note – SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers support both traditional,
disk-based storage devices and flash SSDs, diskless storage devices based on
solid-state memory. The terms “hard drive” and “HDD” (hard disk drive) are used in
a generic sense to refer to both types of internal storage devices.
To hot-plug a drive, you must first take it offline. This prevent applications from
accessing it and removes software links to it.
There are two conditions that will prevent a drive from being hot-plugged:
■

The hard drive contains the sole image of the operating system -- that is, the
operating system is not mirrored on another drive.

■

The hard drive cannot be logically isolated from the server’s online operations.

If either of these conditions exist, you must power off the server before replacing a
hard drive.

Hard Drive LEDs
Each hard drive has a group of three status LEDs, as shown in the following figure.
Both disk-based hard drives and flash SSDs use the same set of LEDS.

Note – The OK/Activity LED has slightly different behavior for SSDs than for
disk-based drives. This difference is described in the table that follows the figure.

• Flashes on and off -- This occurs during hot-plug
operations. It can be ignored.

Note – The front and rear panel Service Required LEDs are also lit when the system
detects a hard drive fault.

▼ Remove a Hard Drive
Removing a hard drive from the server is a three-step process. You must first identify
the drive you wish to remove, unconverted that drive from the server, and then
manually remove the drive from the chassis.

Servicing Hard Drives

1. At the Solaris prompt, type the cfgadm -al command. This will list all drives
in the device tree, including drives that are not configured.
# cfgadm -al

This command should identify the Ap_id for the hard drive you plan to remove,
as shown below.

▼ Install a Hard Drive
Installing a hard drive into the SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers is a
two-step process. You must first install a hard drive into the desired drive slot. Then
you must configure that drive to the server.
1. If necessary, remove the blank panel from the chassis.

Servicing Hard Drives

Note – SPARC Enterprise T5120 servers might have up to seven blank panels
covering unoccupied drive slots. SPARC Enterprise T5220 servers might have as
many as fifteen blank panels covering unoccupied hard drive slots.
2. Align the replacement drive to the drive slot.
Hard drives are physically addressed according to the slot in which they are
installed. If you install a hard drive as a replacement for a drive that was removed,
the new drive must go into the same slot as the drive it is replacing.
FIGURE:

Memory Fault Handling Overview
A variety of features play a role in how the memory subsystem is configured and
how memory faults are handled. Understanding the underlying features helps you
identify and repair memory problems.
The following server features manage memory faults:
■

POST – By default, POST runs when the server is powered on.
For correctable memory errors (CEs), POST forwards the error to the Solaris
Predictive Self-Healing (PSH) daemon for error handling. If an uncorrectable
memory fault is detected, POST displays the fault with the device name of the
faulty FB-DIMMs, and logs the fault. POST then disables the faulty FB-DIMMs.
Depending on the memory configuration and the location of the faulty FB-DIMM,
POST disables half of physical memory in the system, or half the physical memory
and half the processor threads. When this offlining process occurs in normal
operation, you must replace the faulty FB-DIMMs based on the fault message and
enable the disabled FB-DIMMs with the ILOM command set device
component_state=enabled where device is the name of the FB-DIMM being
enabled (for example, set /SYS/MB/CMP0/BR0/CH0/D0 component_state=
enabled).

■

Solaris Predictive Self-Healing (PSH) technology – PSH uses the Fault Manager
daemon (fmd) to watch for various kinds of faults. When a fault occurs, the fault
is assigned a unique fault ID (UUID), and logged. PSH reports the fault and
suggests a replacement for the FB-DIMMs associated with the fault.

If you suspect the server has a memory problem, run the ILOM show faulty
command. This command lists memory faults and identifies the FB-DIMM modules
associated with the fault.

▼ Verify Successful Replacement of Faulty
FB-DIMMs
1. Access the ILOM -> prompt.
Refer to the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Supplement for Sun
SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers for instructions.
2. Use the show faulty command to determine how to clear the fault.
■

If show faulty indicates a POST-detected the fault go to Step 3.

■

If show faulty indicates a host-detected fault (output displays a UUID), go
directly to Step 4.

3. Use the set command to enable the FB-DIMM that was disabled by POST.
In most cases, replacement of a faulty FB-DIMM is detected when the service
processor is power cycled. In those cases, the fault is automatically cleared from
the system. If show faulty still displays the fault, clear it with the set
command.
-> set /SYS/MB/CMP0/BR0/CH0/D0 component_state=Enabled

4. Perform the following steps to verify the repair:
a. Set the virtual keyswitch to diag so that POST will run in Service mode.
-> set /SYS/keyswitch_state=Diag
Set ‘keyswitch_state’ to ‘Diag’

b. Power cycle the system.
-> stop /SYS
Are you sure you want to stop /SYS (y/n)? y
Stopping /SYS

Servicing Motherboard Components

-> start /SYS
Are you sure you want to start /SYS (y/n)? y
Starting /SYS

Note – The server takes about one minute to power off. Use the show /HOST
command to determine when the host has been powered off. The console will display
status=Powered Off.
c. Switch to the system console to view POST output.
Watch the POST output for possible fault messages. The following output
indicates that POST did not detect any faults:
-> start /SYS/console
.
.
.
0:0:0>INFO:
0:0:0>
POST Passed all devices.
0:0:0>POST:
Return to VBSC.
0:0:0>Master set ACK for vbsc runpost command and spin...

Note – Depending on the configuration of ILOM POST variables and whether POST
detected faults or not, the system might boot, or the system might remain at the ok
prompt. If the system is at the ok prompt, type boot.
d. Return the virtual keyswitch to Normal mode.
-> set /SYS keyswitch_state=Normal
Set ‘ketswitch_state’ to ‘Normal’

e. Switch to the system console and type the Solaris OS fmadm faulty
command.
# fmadm faulty

No memory faults should be displayed.
If faults are reported, refer to the diagnostics instructions described in “ILOM
Troubleshooting Overview” on page 23 for guidance in troubleshooting the
fault.
5. Switch to the ILOM command shell.

SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers Service Manual • July 2009

If the show faulty command reports a fault with a UUID go on to Step 7. If
show faulty does not report a fault with a UUID, you are done with the
verification process.
7. Switch to the system console and type the fmadm repair command with the
UUID.
Use the same UUID that was displayed from the output of the ILOM show
faulty command.

b. Remove the hard drive data cable from its seat on the CMP air duct.
c. Place the hard drive cable end out of the way of the air duct.
3. Rotate the air duct up and toward the front of the system.
4. Remove any filler panels from the FB-DIMM slots, if necessary.
Store the filler panels in a safe place. You will reuse the filler panels if you remove
FB-DIMMs in the future.
5. Ensure that the ejector tabs are in the open position.
6. Line up the FB-DIMM with the connector.
Align the FB-DIMM notch with the key in the connector. This alignment ensures
that the FB-DIMM is oriented correctly.
7. Push the FB-DIMM into the connector until the ejector tabs lock the FB-DIMM
in place.

SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers Service Manual • July 2009

FB-DIMM Configuration Guidelines
Use the guidelines described in this topic when installing, upgrading, or replacing
FB-DIMMs:
■

There are a total of 16 slots that support industry-standard FB-DIMMs.

■

Supported FB-DIMM capacities are 1 GByte, 2 GByte, 4 GByte, and 8 GByte.

■

Valid quantities of FB-DIMMs are 4, 8, or 16.

■

All FB-DIMMs in the server must be the same capacity.

■

All FB-DIMMs in a branch must have the same part number.

Note – FB-DIMMs that run on 1.5V are not supported in this server. An FB-DIMM
that runs on 1.5V is sometimes noted with an LV on the part number label. Do not
install such FB-DIMMs in this server.

Guidelines for Upgrading Memory
When adding memory to the server, ensure that you follow all of the guidelines
described in this topic.
You might need to relocate some of the original FB-DIMMs to ensure that all
FB-DIMMs in a branch have the same part number.

When Replacing Faulty FB-DIMMs
Ensure that the replacement FB-DIMM has the same part number as the FB-DIMM
you are removing.
If you are unable to obtain an FB-DIMM with the same part number, you might need
to replace all the FB-DIMMs in the branch to ensure that all have the same part
number.

Power Distribution Board Overview
The power distribution board distributes main 12V power from the power supplies
to the rest of the system. It is directly connected to the paddle card and to the
motherboard by means of a bus bar and ribbon cable. This board also supports a top
cover safety interlock (“kill”) switch.
It is easier to service the power distribution board with the bus bar assembly
attached. If you are replacing a faulty power distribution board, you must remove
the bus bar assembly from the old board and attach the assembly to the new power
distribution board.
If you replace a faulty power distribution board, you must program the new power
distribution board with the chassis serial number and part number. These numbers
are needed for obtaining product support.

Caution – The system supplies power to the power distribution board even when
the server is powered off. To avoid personal injury or damage to the server, you must
disconnect power cords before servicing the power distribution board.

Internal Cables for Onboard SAS
Controller Cards in SPARC Enterprise
T5120 Servers
There are two SAS controller card options for the SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220
servers (both options support RAID). The standard option uses the on-board SAS
controller card preinstalled on every server. The second option is a StorageTek SAS
RAID Internal Host Bus Adapter (HBA) PCIe card. The internal cabling of your
server will be different depending on the SAS controller card option you choose.
