## Remove the Service Processor

Note - This is a cold service procedure that can be performed by customers. See Cold Service, Replaceable by Customer for more information about cold service procedures.

| Caution - The server must be fully shut down and the power cords disconnected.

| Caution - This procedure involves handling circuit boards that are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Ensure that you follow ESD preventative practices to avoid damaging the circuit boards.

| Caution - Components inside the chassis might be hot. Use caution when servicing components inside the chassis.

After you replace the service processor, restoring the SP configuration will be much simpler if the configuration has been saved using the Oracle ILOM backup utility. If the configuration has not been backed up, do so now, if possible.

If you want to retain the same version of the system firmware with the new service processor, note the current version before you remove the service processor.

1. Perform the preliminary steps required for cold service procedures.

   See Cold Service, Replaceable by Customer for instructions.

2. Extend the server out of the rack.

   See Extend the Server.

3. If you can access the rear area of the server without removing the server from the rack, go to Step 4, otherwise remove the server from the rack:
   - Unplug all cables from the server.
   - Remove the Server From the Rack
4. Remove the top cover.

   See Remove the Top Cover.

5. Attach an antistatic wrist strap.
6. If there are any PCIe cards installed in riser 2, remove them. This will require removing riser 2 first.

   See Servicing PCIe and PCIe/XAUI Risers and Servicing PCIe Cards.

7. Grasp the scalloped depressions along the short edges of the service processor module and pull up to disengage the socketed edge of the module.

   The service processor's connector is located next to the module's edge that is closest to the riser.

8. Lift the module up and out of the chassis.
