Inspection
You must examine the connectors for any connector damage on the removed book using the 3X
Magnification Glass (part number 11P4747) included in the system toolkit. If you identify a defect on the
book, do not install the replacement book without contacting your next level support for instructions.
Note: For visual examples of damaged connectors please view the document on CORE, under 7040,
entitled 7040-681 Memory and I/O Book Inspection Procedure .
A damaged connector on a defective book may indicate a damaged system backplane. If an I/O book
connector is damaged, then inspect the system backplane for damage.
If the removed I/O book is not damaged, carefully remove the new I/O book from the packaging. Be sure
to protect the connector and the blue handles when you remove the I/O book from the cardboard box or
ESD bag. Do not handle the I/O book by its connector or either of its blue handles. Remove the protective
cover from the connector and install it on the defective I/O book.
Notes:
1. Do not stack books on top of each other. ESD bags do not provide sufficient stacking protection.
2. Do not rest an I/O book on its connector or on its blue handles at any time.
After the I/O book has been removed from the ESD bag, examine the Book VHDM connector using the 3X
Magnification Glass (part number 11P4747) included in the system toolkit. If any connector shows signs of
damage, do not use it.
Replacement
To replace an I/O book, do the following:
1. Inspect the new I/O book for damage. For more information, see “Inspection.”
2. Unlatch the two blue handles on the replacement book.
3. Taking care not to hit the connector against the CEC cage, use both hands to carefully place the book
on the CEC guides.
4. Slide the book in until it reaches the alignment pins.
5. Using even pressure, actuate both blue handles simultaneously until the book is fully seated.
6. Restore the service processor settings previously saved.
7. Repeat this process for all replacement I/O books.
8. If any cables were removed during the removal procedure, plug all cables into their correct locations.
9. Turn the UEPO switch to the ON position. The service processor goes into standby. Standby is
indicated by the OK prompt in the operator panel display.
Checking the Platform Firmware Level on the FRU Just Installed: The primary I/O book FRU might
have a later level of firmware than the HMC recognizes. This causes a
″
version mismatch
″
error message
on the HMC. If this happens, the HMC can no longer communicate with the managed system. To
determine if this is a potential problem, check the HMC’s software level, as follows:
1. Click Help at the top of the HMC console.
2. Click About the Hardware Management Console .
3. Install the new primary I/O book FRU and follow the procedure in one of the following cases:
v Case 1: Version Mismatch Error Displays:
If the
″
version mismatch
″
error appears on the HMC, the firmware level on the new primary I/O book
must be determined.
Note: You need a laptop computer and (cable part number 62H4857) capable of connecting to
serial port 2 on the primary I/O book.
a. Attach the laptop computer and cable to serial port 2 on the primary I/O book.
