Rempving And Replacing An Adapter; Preparing The System To Remove And Replace An Adapter - IBM 9080-M9S Manual

8. When the service processor comes up to the Flexible Service Processor (FSP) standby state (the
power-on LED on the control panel is flashing slowly), continue to the next step.
9. Access the ASMI and run the Cable Plugging Validation utility to validate all of the cables.
a) If you are already connected to the ASMI, go to the next step. Otherwise, click All Systems then
select system being serviced. Then, click Actions > View All Actions > Launch Advanced
Systems Management (ASM).
b) In the navigation area, expand System Service Aids > Cable Plugging Validation. Then, click
Validate Cables. The system verifies that the expected cables are present.
c) If your configuration includes two or more nodes, expand System Service Aids > Cable Plugging
Validation. Then, click Verify Node Position. Otherwise, if your configuration includes only one
node, continue to the next step.
If the system is cabled correctly, the blue identify LED on each system node will light up, in
sequence, from the top node to the bottom node. If the LEDs do not light up in sequence, the FSP
cables need to be re-installed.
d) Expand System Service Aids > Cable Plugging Validation. Then, select All of the above in the
Display Cable Status section and click Continue. The system validates that the cables are installed
in the correct locations. Expand System Service Aids > Cable Plugging Validation to display a
table with the results. Ensure that the plugging status is OK for each cable in the displayed table. If
the status is OK, no further action is required. If the status is not OK, review the error logs, correct
the problems, and repeat steps b, c and d as needed until the status is OK for all cables.
e) Exit the ASMI.

Rempving and replacing an adapter

Preparing the 9080-M9S system to remove and replace an adapter
Before you begin
Note: If you are replacing a PCIe3 cable adapter that you use to attach your server to an EMX0 PCIe3
expansion drawer, you must ensure that you have the correct PCIe3 cable adapter and expansion drawer
cable to work with the PCIe3 6-slot fanout module that you have in your EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer.
• If you have a CCIN 50CB PCIe3 6-slot fanout module:
– You must use one of the following PCIe3 cable adapters:
- FC EJ08 (CCIN 2CE2)
- FC EJ07 (CCIN 6B52)
- FC EJ05 (CCIN 2B1C)
– You must use one of the following expansion drawer cables: FC ECC6, FC ECC7, FC ECC8, FC ECC9,
FC ECCR, FC ECCS, FC ECCX, FC ECCY, or FC ECCZ.
• If you have a CCIN 50CD PCIe3 6-slot fanout module:
– You must install one of the following PCIe3 cable adapters:
- FC EJ19 (CCIN 6B53)
- FC EJ1R (CCIN 58FF)
- FC EJ20 (CCIN 2CF5)
– You must use one of the following expansion drawer cables: FC ECCR, FC ECCX, FC ECCY, or FC ECCZ.
Procedure
1. If you chose to complete this repair with the power off, label and disconnect both UPIC cables from
the system control unit.
