Procedure
1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and that the ESD clip is plugged
into a ground jack or connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not, do so now.
2. If you powered off the system to complete this repair, wait for the service processor comes up to the
Flexible Service Processor (FSP) standby state (the power-on LED on the control panel is flashing
slowly) then continue to the next step to validate all of the cables. If you did not power off the system,
skip the next step and continue to the step to validate only the UPIC cables.
3. Access the ASMI and run the Cable Plugging Validation utility to validate all of the cables.
