SM-240 --- Sun Enterprise TM Server Maintenance

The Sun Enterprise Server Maintenance course provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to configure

The Sun Enterprise Server Maintenance course provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to configure, maintain, and troubleshoot the Sun Enterprise 3500, Sun Enterprise 4500, Sun Enterprise 5500, and Sun Enterprise 6500 servers. Students study the architecture and hardware components of these servers; practice locating, removing, and replacing all field-replaceable units (FRUs); and use a variety of diagnostic tools to troubleshoot failed system components.

• Assemble systems

• Troubleshoot medium to large-scale server systems

• Replace field-replaceable components

are field service engineers and enterprise system self-maintainers with experience servicing medium to large-scale networked database serve
