VPD card
Preparing the system to remove and replace the vital product data card in
the 9080-M9S system control unit
To prepare the system to remove and replace the vital product data card, complete the steps in this
procedure.
About this task
Note: If you plan to replace the VPD card and have the replacement card, you can contact the following
email address from 8 AM to 5 PM US Central Time, Monday to Friday, to obtain the replacement activation
codes before repair. You must supply the machine type and serial number, and the part number and serial
number of the replacement VPD card. If you use the AIX or Linux operating systems, contact
[email protected]. If you use the IBM i operating system, contact [email protected].
Procedure
1. 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.
2. Stop the system. For instructions, see Stopping a system (www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/
POWER9/p9haj/crustopsys.htm).
3. Access the ASMI.
If you are already connected to the ASMI, go to the next step.
a) For instructions, see Accessing the ASMI without an HMC (www.ibm.com/support/
knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9hby/connect_asmi.htm).
b) Click Tasks.
c) Click Operations > Launch Advanced System Management (ASM).
4. Record the system identifiers.
Note: To perform this operation, your authority level must be administrator or authorized service
provider.
a) In the ASMI Welcome page, if you have not already logged in, specify your user ID and password,
and click Log in.
b) In the navigation area, expand System Configuration > Program Vital Product Data.
c) Select System Brand under Program Vital Product Data.
d) Manually record the value for the system brand, which appears in the right pane.
e) In the navigation area, select System Keywords under Program Vital Product Data.
f) Manually record all of the values, such as the Machine type-model, System serial number, and
System unique ID.
Notes:
1) If you do not know the system unique ID, contact your next level of support.
2) You cannot boot the system until valid values are entered for all fields.
3) You can change these entries only once.
5. Look for the flashing amber LED (A) of the vital product data card. Refer to the following image.
