14. Write the machine type, model number, and serial number of the blade server on the repair
identification (RID) tag that comes with the replacement system-board and chassis assembly. This
information is on the identification label that is behind the control-panel door on the front of the
blade server.
Important: Completing the information on the RID tag ensures future entitlement for service.
15. Place the RID tag on the bottom of the blade server chassis.
16. Install the blade server into the BladeCenter unit. See "Installing the blade server in a BladeCenter
unit" on page 236.
17. Is the blade server managed by a management console?
Continue with step 18.
Yes
Turn on the blade server and then continue with step 19.
No
Note: Because you are using a management card that was initialized from your old system board
and chassis assembly, the firmware retrieves the vital product data (VPD) from the management card
and caches it in blade server memory and you do not see any prompts for data.
18. If the blade server has the VIOS installed or utilizes more than one partition, restore partition profile
data by using one of the following methods:
v If this system is managed by an HMC, recover the partition profile data because the blade server
is in Recovery state. For instructions, see Correcting a Recovery state for a managed system
(http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/powersys/v3r1m5/topic/p7eav/
aremanagedsystemstate_recovery.htm).
Note: The blade server is turned on as part of the recovery process.
v If this system is managed by an IVM, turn on the blade server, then restore the partition profile
data. Using the IVM command line, enter the rstprofdata command. For more information about
the rstprofdata command, see IVM rstprofdata command (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/
powersys/v3r1m5/topic/p7hcg/rstprofdata.htm).
Note: Because you are using a management card that was initialized from your old system board
and chassis assembly, the firmware retrieves the VPD from the management card and caches it in
blade server memory and you do not see any prompts for data.
19. Does the blade server have Fibre Channel adapters?
Yes "Restore vfchost map data" on page 219. Then, continue with the next step.
No Continue with the next step.
20. Reset the system date and time through the operating system that you installed.
For additional information, see the documentation for your operating system.
