Performing the Upgrade
Overview
1. Read the documentation in the RMA (Return Material Authorization) information
package provided with the upgrade.
2. Follow the procedures described in this chapter: a. Power off the system and all attached peripheral devices. b. Disconnect all devices attached to the Ultra 2 Series system, including monitor,
keyboard, mouse, and associated cables.
c. Remove all DIMMs (memory modules) and any CD-ROM drive installed in the
Ultra 2 Series system, and install them in the Ultra 60 system.
For information about installing components into a Ultra 60 workstation, refer to the
Ultra 60 Installation Guide.
Note – SBus cards are not supported by the Ultra 60 system.
d. Connect the monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the Ultra 60 system as shown in
the Ultra 60 Installation Guide.
3. Follow the instructions in the RMA information package about packing and
returning the Ultra 2 Series enclosure and those components not moved to the
Ultra 60.
If you have any additional questions, contact your Sun sales representative.

Powering Off the System
Caution – When the Power switch is set to standby and the AC power cord remains
connected to a power outlet, hazardous AC voltage is still present in the power
supply primary.
The power supply ‘remembers’ the state it was in when power was interrupted.
Press the Power switch to Standby before you disconnect a working unit or connect
a replacement unit. If the power supply is not placed in standby before it is
disconnected, it turns on automatically when it is connected again, even if you do
not touch the system power switch or keyboard buttons.
1. If the Ultra 2 Series system that you are upgrading is being used as a server, notify
users that the system is going down.
2. Back up system files and data.
3. If the system that you are upgrading is being used as a server, shutdown the
operating system by becoming superuser and issuing the shutdown command.

Removing DIMMs
Caution – A DIMM is made of delicate electronic components that are extremely
sensitive to static electricity. Handle a DIMM only by the edges. Do not touch the
components on the DIMM or any metal parts. Wear an antistatic wrist strap before
unpacking and while handling a DIMM. Ordinary amounts of static from your
clothes or work environment can damage a DIMM.
Do not disconnect the power cord from the system unit back panel. The power
cord should also be connected to a grounded power outlet. This connection
provides the necessary ground path to safely remove and install DIMMs and other
components.
Be sure that the system unit power switch is set to Standby. Check the green light at
the front of the chassis to be sure it is off.
All Ultra 2 Series systems have at least four identical DIMMs, each set having the
same speed and capacity, installed in paired sockets of a DIMM bank.
Each DIMM has chips mounted on both sides. The part of the DIMM that connects
in the memory slot has gold “fingers,” a scalloped edge with a conductive surface.
FIGURE 2-5 and FIGURE 2-6 show front and back views of a DIMM. When installed, the
key notch should be near the DIMM ejector levers.
