Checking the status of the media tray
Important: If you received your Type 8677 BladeCenter unit before June 2003, the
customer interface card (CIC) in the media tray of the BladeCenter unit might need
to be replaced before the CD-ROM drive will work correctly with a BladeCenter
JS20 Type 8842.
If you received your Type 8677 BladeCenter unit before June 2003, start the
management-module Web interface and perform these steps to determine if the
CIC in your BladeCenter unit needs to be replaced:
1. In the navigation pane on the left side, select Monitors ; then, select Hardware
VPD .
2. While looking at the “BladeCenter Hardware VPD” table in the right pane, find
the row for module name “Media Tray”.
3. Check the “FRU Number” column for the “Media Tray”.
4. If you see 59P6629, have the CIC replaced before installing a BladeCenter
JS20 Type 8842 in the BladeCenter unit.
To have the CIC replaced, call the IBM Support Center and report the CIC as a
failed part and request replacement with the latest CIC field replaceable unit (FRU).
The IBM Support Center team will evaluate the problem, determine which
replacement part is required, and send the applicable part. In the U.S. and Canada,
call 1-800-IBM-SERV (1-800-426-7378). In other countries, go to
http://www.ibm.com/planetwide/ to locate your support telephone numbers.
(Instructions for removing and replacing parts in the media tray of the BladeCenter
unit are provided in the BladeCenter Type 8677 Hardware Maintenance Manual and
Troubleshooting Guide .)
