3. 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 and skip the following step.
4. 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.
5. Optional: If the system is powered off, from the Operation list, select FRU Level Activate. Then, click
OK to confirm the operation.
6. If the system was powered off, continue with step "7" on page 697. If the power was left on,
continue with step "9" on page 698.
7. Access the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI).
• You can access the ASMI without using the HMC. For instructions, see Accessing the ASMI without
an HMC (www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9hby/connect_asmi.htm).
• To access the ASMI by using the HMC, complete the following steps:
a. Select the system on which you are working.
b. Click Tasks.
c. Click Operations > Launch Advanced System Management (ASM).
8. If the system is powered off, reset the time-of-day settings by using the ASMI. To set the time-of-day,
complete the following steps:
