Server Options - 3516 On/Off button sticks when pressed

Applicable to: World-Wide

Abstract :
3516 On/Off Button Sticks when Pressed

Symptom :
The on/off button sticks when pressed in. Once the button is stuck, the 3516 cannot be turned off or on.

Fix :
Replace the power button with FRU p/n76H3953.
-OR-
Modify the existing power button using the following procedure:

1. Remove the main cover assembly.
2. Remove the four hex-head screws that attach the front plastic panel to the metal cover assembly.
3. When the front plastic panel is removed, the on/off button legs are exposed. Squeeze the legs together and push the button out of the front plastic panel.
4. The button must be modified. On each side of the square button are two 2mm x 4mm rectangular pads (8 total). Using a file or blade, remove material from the 8 small pads. This will eliminate any bind between the on/off button and the square opening in the front plastic cover.
5. Install the modified button (with spring) and test.
6. When the button operates properly, reassemble the cover assembly.
