c.
Place the product number portion from the Field Upgrade Only label on top of the old
product number and barcode on the label carrier card from the Monarch Server.
IMPORTANT:
Do not cover the serial number on the label carrier card.
d.
Remove the position information label (the left hand label in the above picture) from the
front of the upgrade Blade Link bezel.
Temporarily remove the “Field Upgrade Only” label if it blocks the Blade Link trap door.
e.
Place the label carrier card behind the trap door of the Upgrade Blade Link, but do not
install the Upgrade Blade link at this time.
f.
Reapply the “Field Upgrade Only” label to the upgrade Blade Link, making sure not to
cover the Blade Link handle.
9.
Remove the Blade Links from the existing servers that will be included in the upgrade (
“ Blade
Link for BL870c i2 or BL890c i2 configurations” (page 110)
).
IMPORTANT:
Mark the Monarch Server Blade Link and keep track of it until the upgrade is
successfully completed. Do not reuse the old Blade Links after the upgrade has been completed.
10. Make any necessary blade internal component changes. The following hardware components
have loading rules that can change after upgrading:
•
processors
•
DIMMs
•
optional mezzanine cards
•
ICH mezzanine boards
See
“Rules for server blade internal components” (page 72)
for more information.
11. Fully insert any unseated blades into the enclosure. Make sure all server blades that will be
included in the upgraded server are now fully seated into the enclosure with no Blade Links
installed.
12. Install the upgrade Blade Link by completing steps 1 through 11 in
“Installing the Blade Link
for BL870c i2 or BL890c i2 configurations” (page 22)
13. Enter the
show server list command
at the Onboard Administrator command line
interface. The output should show a status of “OK” for each blade in the upgraded server, or
“OTHER” if there’s a current VC domain defined on the enclosure. The Monarch blade should
have an iLO 3 IP address assigned that would be the same one assigned to the Monarch
Server iLO 3.
14. Log into the iLO 3 MP interface and enter
cm
at the Main Menu to reach the Command Menu
prompt.
