The following procedures describe the removal and replacement of the service processor assembly. Before
performing the following procedures, read “Safety Notices” on page vii.
Removing the Service Processor Assembly
To remove the service processor assembly, do the following:
1. Stop the system as described in “Stopping the System” on page 9.
2. Place the system into the service position as described in “Placing the 296/C3 into the Service
Position” on page 6 or “Placing the 296/E3 into the Service and Operating Position” on page 7.
3. Write down the information displayed on the operator panel.
4. Disconnect the power source from the system.
Note: This system may be equipped with a second power supply. Before continuing with this
procedure, ensure that the power source to the system has been completely disconnected.
5. Label and disconnect all cables connected to the service processor assembly.
6. Remove the service access cover as described in “Removing the 296/C3 Service Access Cover” on
page 12 or “Removing the 296/E3 Service Access Cover” on page 13.
7. Before handling any card, board, or memory DIMM, refer to “Handling Static-Sensitive Devices” on
page 4.
8. Locate the service processor assembly as shown in the following illustration.
9. Grasp the ends of the service processor assembly handles, and press the retractable spring-activated
portion of each handle. This action releases the spring latch located on the bottom side of each
handle.
10. Lift the service processor assembly handles until they are perpendicular (90 degrees) to the top of the
assembly. By placing the handles perpendicular to the top of the service processor assembly, the
base or hinged portion of each handle acts as a cam and helps pry the service processor assembly
from its connector located on the system backplane.
11. Place the service processor assembly in a safe place.
