System Node; Preparing The System To Remove And Replace A Service Processor Interface Card - IBM 9080-M9S Manual

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 and skip the following step.
5. Access the ASMI and run the Cable Plugging Validation utility to validate only the UPIC cables.
Note: If you powered off the system to complete this repair, you validated the UPIC cables in the
previous step. You can skip this step.
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 UPIC Cables. The system verifies that the UPIC cables are present.
Note: Older firmware levels do not support validating the UPIC cables while the system is at FSP
standby. You can skip this step if it is not available.
c) Expand System Service Aids > Cable Plugging Validation. In the Display Cable Status section,
select UPIC Cables and click Continue. The system validates that the UPIC cables are installed in
the correct locations and displays 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 and c as needed until the
status is OK for all cables.
d) Exit the ASMI and continue to the next step.
6. The FRU Level Activate might cause a delay from 3 minutes to 45 minutes, depending on how long a
firmware code synchronization takes to complete. After the FRU Level Activate completes, confirm
that both service processor cards are at the same firmware level.

Preparing the 9080-M9S system to remove and replace the service processor interface
card
To prepare the system to remove and replace a service processor interface card, complete the steps in
this procedure.
Procedure
1. From the Operation list, select Set Identify LED. Then, click OK to confirm the operation.
This action causes the identify LED for the faulty part to turn on, and causes the blue system ID LED to
turn on.
2. Use the blue LED to identify the server.
Ensure that the serial number of the system matches the serial number to be serviced.
3. Check whether an amber identify (with the !) LED is on for one of the service processor interface cards
as shown in the following figure.
