8. When the service processor comes up to the Flexible Service Processor (FSP) standby state (the
power-on LED on the control panel is flashing slowly), continue to the next step.
9. 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.

• If you completed this procedure with the system power turned off, continue with step "11" on page
19.
• If you completed the procedure with the system power turned on and used the AIX operating
system, continue with step "12" on page 20.
• If you completed the procedure with the system power turned on and used the IBM i operating
system, continue with step "13" on page 21.
• If you completed the procedure with the system power turned on and used the Linux operating
system, continue with step "17" on page 21.
11. If the system power is turned off, complete the following steps:
a) If you chose to complete this repair with the power off, using your labels, reconnect the UPIC
cables to the system control unit as shown in the following figure.
1) Ensure that the white plastic lock is pulled back from the plug housing.
2) Plug the UPIC cable (A) into the previously identified location in the system control unit by
inserting the cable into the connector until it locks into place as shown in the following figure.
