Observe the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack system: v Heavy equipment–personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled. v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet. v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet. v To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
Page 14
CAUTION: Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building: v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top of the rack cabinet.

v Identify LED for an enclosure If you want to add an adapter to a specific drawer (enclosure), you need to know the machine type, model, and serial number (MTMS) of the drawer. To determine whether you have the correct MTMS for the drawer that needs the new adapter, you can activate the LED for a drawer and verify that the MTMS corresponds to the drawer that requires the new adapter.
Verifying the installed part by using the SDMC If you installed or replaced a part, use the IBM Systems Director Management Console (SDMC) to update your SDMC records after you have completed a service action on your server. If you have reference codes, symptoms, or location codes that you used during the service action, locate the records for use during this procedure.
Activating or deactivating an identify LED by using the SDMC: The system provides several LEDs that help identify various components, such as enclosures or field replaceable units (FRUs). For this reason, they are called identify LEDs. You can activate or deactivate the following types of identify LEDs: v Identify LED for an enclosure If you want to add an adapter to a specific drawer (enclosure), you need to know the machine type, model, and serial number (MTMS) of the drawer.

1. Select the resource that has been replaced from the Resource Repair Action menu. If the repair action was reseating a cable or adapter, select the resource associated with that repair action. If the resource associated with your action is not displayed on the resource list, select sysplanar0.
9. Go to the Closing a service call procedure. Verifying a repair by using an IBM i system or logical partition Use this procedure to verify a repair by using the IBM i operating system. 1. Was the system powered off during the repair? Yes: Continue with the next step.
Page 198
8. Is the new reference code the same as the original reference code? Yes: Continue with the next step. No: A new symptom might have occurred. Go to the Start of call procedure. This ends the procedure. 9. Are there any other failing items that remain to be replaced? Yes: Replace the next failing item listed for this reference code.
No: Perform the verification procedures in the Service functions topics to verify that the problem is corrected. Resources that usually vary on automatically during an IPL, or that were previously varied on manually, might need to be varied on again after the verification procedures are complete.

Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI). For IBM Power Systems servers that contain the POWER7 processor, the LEDs can be used to identify or verify a part that you are servicing. The error and identify function (amber) LED indicates an error and corresponds to the location code in the system reference code (SRC).
You can activate or deactivate an identify LED for components attached to the system from the Hardware Management Console (HMC) or from the IBM Systems Director Management Console (SDMC). The system provides several LEDs that help identify various components in the system, such as enclosures or field-replaceable units (FRUs).
