v No: Use the Change System Value command (CHGSYSVAL) to set QPWRRSTIPL equal to 1.
This ends the procedure.
3. Exchange the following parts one at a time. See the Remove and replace procedures for the model
you are working on. Also, before exchanging any part, power off the system. See Power on/off the
system and logical partitions.
For system Models 270, 800, 810, 820, and 825:
a. System unit backplane (see symbolic FRU "SYSBKPL" on page 464)
b. Power supply
For system Models 830, 840, 870, 890, SB2, and SB3: Tower card (see symbolic FRU "TWRCARD"
on page 470)
Note: If you exchange the tower card or the system unit backplane, you must set the system date
(QDATE) and time (QTIME).
This ends the procedure.
