P/N 806-7668-11 Rev. B Netra™ AX1105-500 Read these safety statements carefully before you install or remove any part of the system. Caution – Installation of this product requires specific training and technical knowledge. These instructions have been provided for use by qualified personnel. This equipment uses electrical power internally that is hazardous if the equipment is improperly assembled or disassembled. Before you begin to install or remove this board or any other components, make sure the system power is turned off and the system power cord is disconnected from the AC source. Failure to comply may result in damage to the equipment or physical injury. Follow these ESD (electrostatic discharge) preventive measures: • Keep the board in the antistatic bag until it is needed. • Attach a ground strap to your wrist when connecting or disconnecting boards or peripherals and the other end to the surface that is properly grounded. • Remove a board from its antistatic bag only when you are properly grounded. Place the board only on an antistatic mat. Do not place the board on top of an antistatic bag unless the outside of the bag also has an antistatic protection. Software Information Note – The generic Solaris 8 01/01 version has a bug that can possibly cause data corruption. A special installation CD (P/N 704-7617-xx) is provided that MUST be used along with Solaris Update. That update is also known as Solaris 8, Update 3 CD0. Do not use CD0 with Solaris 8, Update 2 (P/N 704-7610-xx). Refer to Installing Solaris 8 10/00 or Solaris 8 1/01 Software document (P/N 806-7793-xx) included with CD0) that describes how to install from CD0. If you do not have CD0, please contact your Field Application Engineer. The Netra ™ AX1105-500 requires the following software: • Solaris™ 8 01/01 package or subsequent compatible version. Refer to the installation instructions provided with the software package. • The latest OpenBoot™ PROM (OBP) compatible with your Solaris operating environment.

For customers in the US or Canada, please call 1-800-USA-4SUN (1-800-872-4786). For customers in the rest of the world, find the World Wide Solution Center nearest you by visiting our web site: http://www.sun.com/service/contacting/solution.html When you call Enterprise Services, be sure to indicate that the Netra ™ AX1105-500 was purchased separately and is not associated with a system. Identify the product by its part number. For example, • Netra ™ AX1105-500 board assembly 3750128xxxxxx Before Returning Your Board to Enterprise Services You MUST get Return Material Authorization (RMA) numbers from Enterprise Services for each part you intend to return. If Enterprise Services asks for a system serial number, BE SURE TO INDICATE THAT THE board WAS purchased separately and IS not associated with a system. Identify the product by its name and part number. For example: � Netra ™ AX1105-500 board assembly 3750128xxxxxx Enterprise Services will give you specific details on the return procedure for your geographic area. In addi- tion, follow these guidelines in packaging the hardware and addressing the packaging. Take the electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions while handling the board: • Handle the board only by the nonconducting edges. • Do not touch the components or any metal parts. • Always wear a grounding wrist strap when handling the board. • Be sure the wrist strap is connected to ground (Earth). • Please use the original or equivalent packaging material to return the failed part. • Make sure the RMA number is on the box containing that part. • The outermost box needs to have the RMA number and the part number of its primary contents and the following: • Destination address • Source address • For international shipments, Enterprise Services shipping number to expedite handling in customs. • Remove and retain the memory modules (DIMMs). • Remove and retain the TOD/NVRAM chip. • Remove and retain A/V module if applicable The TOD/NVRAM chip holds specific network address data. It may also hold configuration data specific to your installation. Be sure to keep a copy of this information. You MUST remove this module before you return the board to Enterprise Services. The replacement Netra ™ AX1105-500 will not have a TOD/ NVRAM module. You must reinstall your retained module.
