Servicing External Interconnect Assemblies
In Oracle's SPARC M7-16 server, eight external interconnect assemblies connect the CMIOUs
in the top chassis and the CMIOUs in the bottom chassis to the switch units in the switch
chassis. One half of an assembly is installed in the switch chassis, and the other half of the
assembly is installed in a CMIOU chassis.
For the location of the external interconnect assemblies, see “Switch Chassis Front Components
(SPARC M7-16)” on page 23.
Caution - This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. This discharge can cause server components to fail. Follow antistatic precautions to
prevent electrostatic damage. See “Prevent ESD Damage” on page 61.
These topics explain how to service external interconnect assemblies.
