- If a serviceable event FRU repair directed you to this procedure, the microcode and power boundaries are already set.
- If a serviceable event FRU repair did not direct you to this procedure, see MAP1230 Replace a FRU without using a serviceable event.
Notes:
- All the cables and FRUs to be removed must be uniquely identified so they can be reinstalled correctly.
- If an installed earthquake resistance kit prevents you from accessing this FRU, refer to MAP1600.
Preparing the CEC enclosure to remove and replace the system processor module
Procedure
- Use a replacement part with a valid DS8000® part number to ensure it has the proper firmware, VPD, or configuration to ensure it is compatible with the DS8000 service procedures. Attempting to use a generic server FRU might fail and require next level of support to recover.
-
All parts being removed must be marked or identified so they can be installed into their
original locations.
Note: Failure to do this can extend the service duration and may require next level of support assistance.
- The management console keyboard can be moved between the operating and stowed position as needed to allow service clearance above the CEC enclosure.
-
Use the front and rear blue identify LEDs to determine the CEC enclosure to be repaired. Both
blue LEDs should be lit.
