Replacing the NVRAM Chip

Caution –

The procedure below is for the attention of qualified service engineers

only. Before touching or replacing any components inside the server, disconnect all
cables and follow the instructions in Section 4.2, “Opening the Server” on page 4-4
which tell you how to open the system. Always place the system on a grounded ESD
pad and wear a properly grounded antistatic wrist strap.

The NVRAM chip on the server’s system board contains a lithium battery that in
time may need replacing. If you see the following message on your console when
you boot the server:

order a new NVRAM chip (part number: F100-6889) from your local Sun sales
representative. Take note of the caution below.

Caution –

There is a danger of explosion if the NVRAM chip is incorrectly replaced.

Replace it only with a component of the same type as the used one (part number
F100-6889). To replace the chip, follow any instructions supplied with the new
component. Dispose of the used component according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.

The NVRAM chip is located in a carrier between the rear fan subassembly and the
DIMM sockets on the system board (see
