Removing and replacing the service processor card assembly in the 9040-
MR9
Find information about removing and replacing the service processor card assembly in the IBM Power
System E950 (9040-MR9) server.
Removing and replacing the service processor card assembly is a nonconcurrent procedure, which
requires the system to be powered off. The service processor card assembly is installed into slot P1-C1.
If your system is managed by the Hardware Management Console (HMC), use the HMC to repair a part in
the system. For instructions, see Repairing a part by using the HMC (www.ibm.com/support/
knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9haj/p9haj_hmc_repair.htm).
If your system is not managed by an HMC, complete the steps in the following procedures to remove and
replace the service processor card assembly.
Preparing the 9040-MR9 system to remove and replace the service processor card
assembly
To prepare the system to remove and replace the service processor card assembly, complete the steps in
this procedure.
1. Access the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI).
For instructions, see Accessing the ASMI without an HMC (www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/
POWER9/p9hby/connect_asmi.htm).
2. Check and record the current firmware level.
On the ASMI Welcome pane, view the existing level of server firmware in the upper-right corner under
the copyright statement, for example, 01EM310 or FW760.00 (AM760_019).
3. Check and record the following service processor card settings:
• System Name
• System Power Control
• System Service Aids
• System Configuration
• Network Services
• Performance Option
• Login Profile
4. Identify the part and the system that you are working on. For instructions, see Identifying a
part (www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9haj/sal.htm).
Use the blue identify LED on the enclosure to locate the system. Ensure that the serial number of the
system matches the serial number to be serviced.
5. Stop the system. For instructions, see Stopping a system (www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/
POWER9/p9haj/crustopsys.htm).
6. Label and disconnect the power source from the system by unplugging the power cords from the
system.
