Installing the management card

You can install this tier 2 CRU, or you can request IBM to install it, at no additional charge, under the
type of warranty service that is designated for the compute node. Use this procedure to install the
management card into the currently installed system board. If you are also installing a new system board,
you must complete this procedure before you install the new system board.
Before you begin
Attention: Replacing the management card and the system board at the same time might result in the
loss of vital product data (VPD) and information concerning the number of active processor cores. If the
management card and system board must both be replaced, replace them one at a time. For further
assistance, contact your next level of support.
