Sun Enterprise[tm] 250 Server: Repair Procedures

This section provides the most common repair procedures for the Enterprise 250. The written procedures below are links to the Sun Enterprise 250 Server Owner's Guide (805-3389).

Clustered Hardware Note: When repairing a clustered system, you should replace server components by first switching over the data services to the functioning server, halting the host to be serviced, powering down the host, and then performing the hardware procedure to replace the component. Following the procedure, the logical hosts should be switched back to the default masters.
