Removing the 8234-EMA, 9117-MMA, or 9406-MMA control panel with
power on
You can remove the control panel from the server with the power on.
Be sure you read these instructions carefully and understand the complexity of the power-on Procedure
before you begin.
Attention: Failure to follow these instructions could result in damage to the media device (tape drive,
CD, or DVD), or to the system, and could result in loss of data.
If your system is managed by the Hardware Management Console (HMC), use the HMC to complete the
steps for removing a control panel. For instructions, see Removing a part using the Hardware
Management Console. If you do not have an HMC, complete this procedure to remove a control panel.
If your system is managed by the IBM Systems Director Management Console (SDMC), use the SDMC to
remove the control panel from the server. For information about using the SDMC to remove a control
panel, see Removing a part by using the Systems Director Management Console. If you do not have an
SDMC, complete this procedure to remove a control panel.
Prerequisites
To remove a control panel with the system power on, you must first gain access to the Advanced System
Management Interface (ASMI).

To remove the control panel with the system or logical partition powered on, follow these steps from the
system or logical partition that controls the media device:
1. Perform the prerequisite tasks described in "Before you begin" on page 25.

3. In the navigation area of the ASMI, select Concurrent maintenance and then Control panel.
4. At the Preparing the control panel window, select Remove and click Continue.
5. Choose the control panel's location and click Save Settings. If the operation was successful, the
