e. Place the label carrier card behind the trap door of the Upgrade Blade Link, but do not install the
Upgrade Blade link at this time.
f. Reapply the "Field Upgrade Only" label to the upgrade Blade Link, making sure not to cover the
Blade Link handle.
4. Remove the Blade Links from the existing servers that will be included in the upgrade ( Blade Link
for BL870c i4 or BL890c i4 configurations on page 113).
IMPORTANT:
Mark the Monarch Server Blade Link and keep track of it until the upgrade is successfully
completed. Do not reuse the old Blade Links after the upgrade has been completed.
5. Make any necessary blade internal component changes. The following hardware components have
loading rules that can change after upgrading:
• processors
• DIMMs
• optional mezzanine cards
• ICH mezzanine boards
See Rules for server blade internal components on page 66 for more information.
6. Fully insert any unseated blades into the enclosure. Make sure all server blades that will be included
in the upgraded server are now fully seated into the enclosure with no Blade Links installed.
7. Install the upgrade Blade Link by completing steps 1 through 11 in Installing the Blade Link for
BL860c i4, BL870c i4 or BL890c i4 configurations on page 25.
8. Wait a couple of minutes for the blades to conjoin and then enter the show server list
command at the Onboard Administrator command line interface. The output should show a status of
"OK" for each blade in the upgraded server, or "OTHER" if there's a current VC domain defined on
the enclosure. The Monarch blade should have an iLO 3 IP address assigned.
9. Log into the iLO 3 MP interface and enter the cm command at the Main Menu to reach the Command
Menu prompt.
10. Enter the sr command to view the system revision information. A sample output for a BL890c i4 is
shown below. The BL890c i4 will show four blades composing the server blade, a BL870c i4 will
show two. If the output does not show all of the blades expected, then there is a problem which must
be resolved before proceeding. Reseating the Blade Link or individual blades may correct server
blade conjoining problems.
